2NE1 “Date…definitely lag behind.. Dara…worrying seriously”
[OSEN=Lee Hyerin] 2NE1 made people laugh by saying, “When it comes to date, we are definitely left behind.”
In the interview celebrating 2nd album, “Crush” in a hotel in Seoul, 2NE1 emphasized by saying that, “We admit that. We are left behind”
CL added that “there are lots of brothers at the workplace, but I think getting too close is not so good. I sometimes feel ‘We cannot do this’ or sometimes they see us only as sisters. Other members have failed to have a date, because they rarely go out.” Bom said “There are really no chances at all”.
Dara looked somewhat serious. She said, “I really have concerned about it. These days, CEO or other seniors at the work place have worried more than me. I have to relive their concerns as soon as possible…”

Girls’ Generation & 2NE1’s Battle – Reminiscent of S.E.S & Fin.K.L
Girls’ Generation and 2NE1 are both well-loved in the music world, and are called the best girl groups in the K-Pop industry. They both exude very different charms and appeal to the public in their own ways. They went head to head with their similar comeback dates, and went up on the same music program stage. Girls’ Generation had their comeback first, but due to their music video data corruption incident, their 4th album offline sales release and 2NE1’s 2nd album online music release both landed on the same date, February 27th.
On the 9th they both starred on the same music program, and the attention was focused on who would take the honorary ending performance. The ending went to the senior singer group TVXQ.
The two girl groups have often been considered rivals. And so their simultaneous activities were a hot topic for music lovers all around. More than just rivals, the two girl groups were able to contribute to the revival of the music industry, and it was a win-win situation for both.
Girls’ Generation and 2NE1’s rivalry is reminiscent of S.E.S and Fin.K.L‘s fierce competition back in the day.
SM Entertainment first debuted S.E.S in 1997. Until then, no girl group had really been very successful. That’s because at the time girl idols weren’t as popular as they are today. No one knew what would happen.
That’s why S.E.S’s debut was surprising and impactful. They came out with a pure and innocent image, just as their age would indicate, and started with their debut song “I’m Your Girl”. The male fandoms quickly increased in number, and these girls had a huge impact on the music industry.
DSP Media then debuted the girl group Fin.K.L 1 year later in 1998 with the song “Blue Rain”. Fin.K.L had a hard time at first, but things got easier with their other song “To My Boyfriend”, with which they ranked number 1. They appealed to the public with a different charm than S.E.S. Thereafter Fin.K.L released many hits back to back, and stood out as female idols that could overtake S.E.S.
And now 16 years later, the members are still battling against each other. But at the present they are competing as actresses, not singers.
Being called “rivals” can be taxing on both sides. However, S.E.S was able to stay in the spotlight longer because Fin.K.L emerged as rivals to compete against them. And it’s the same with Girls’ Generation and 2NE1. Their rivalry is a point of interest, and the two girl groups will receive much more attention thanks to their competition against each other to be labeled the best.

Yoo In Na Of ‘My Love From The Star’ Discusses Her Run-Ins With Big Bang And 2NE1 In The YG Cafeteria
It’s not your average cafeteria.
When “My Love From The Star” (also called “You Who Came From The Stars”) actress and radio disc jockey Yoo In Na first joined the talent management division of K-pop powerhouse record label YG Entertainment, she never considered she’d be meeting some of her favorite pop stars, over lunch.
In an interviewconducted from a restaurant near the campus of Seoul’s Hongik University and posted Friday to YG’s website, Yoo explained the surreal experience of running into some of her favorite stars over the label’s legendary in-house traditional Korean cuisine.
“I am a big fan of Big Bang and 2NE1, and I constantly listen to 2NE1’s CD in my car,” she said. “It still feels very strange to see them in the company cafeteria.”
The 31-year-old “My Love From The Star” cast member claims she has felt more comfortable at YG Entertainment recently since the label began representing more actors.
“YG Entertainment used to be a nest for singers, but actors are also joining in, so that gives me great comfort,” Yoo said.
She also discussed her friendship with 2NE1 member Sandara Park.
“Although we don’t meet up much, I became really good friends with Sandara Park [since signing with YG Entertainment],” Yoo said.
“People think of her as being quirky, but she also has lots of other sides to her personality. Of course, she does also like to make people laugh.”
And the actress also opened up about her close relationship with solo singer IU.
“We are really close friends,” she said.
“I’m nine years older, but generational gap doesn’t exist between us. She sometimes seems more mature than I am. When I feel down, she comes to me and comforts me and gives me presents. While I’m DJing, she shows up unexpectedly to cheer me on and sometimes gives gifts for my manager to hand to me.”

2NE1: “We’re Running Behind When It Comes to Dating”
The members of girl group 2NE1 evoked laughter when they stated, “We’re running behind when it comes to dating.”
On March 14, 2NE1 held an interview session at a hotel in Yeouido, Seoul in celebration for the release of their second full album, “Crush.” When posed with a question relating to dating, they answered, “We acknowledge. We’re running behind.”
CL remarked, “There are many oppas in our company, but I think it’s not good that we’re close with them. I think they try to be protective because they see us as their younger sisters. I think the unnie members (Park Bom, Sandara Park) aren’t able to find anyone because they don’t go out.”
Park Bom added to CL’s comment and said, “We really don’t have any opportunities [to meet guys].”
Sandara Park had a serious expression on her face when she said, “I thought about it seriously. I think our company president (Yang Hyun Suk) and our sunbaes are more worried than I am. I really want to relieve of this worry from them soon.”
