2NE1 says music should be core of “sexy” concept

2NE1 commented on the recent trend of girl groups adopting racy looks. They said they could understand the group’s choice.

In a recent interview with OSEN, 2NE1 said they were okay with a “sexy” concept so long as it was in sync to and inspired by the group’s music. They said as long as the sexy image befit the musical concept and it was genuine, they were okay with it.

The members also gave their own defition of “sexiness.”

Dara defined it as “self-esteem and confidence” while Minzy saw is as “naturalness that comes from within and not something that is put on just because you are onstage.”

At midnight on the 8th, 2NE1 released “Falling in Love,” their first reggae song since their debut. The song features the members in a totally different look. The song is another radical attempt at a new genre, following their last year’s “I Love You,” a ballad song that includes elements of the “trot” genre. The song has gone on to sweep domestic music charts and ranked number one in iTunes chart of seven countries.

2NE1 is winning in charts home and abroad. They will put on their first comeback stage with “Falling in Love” on the 11th at Mnet’s “M Countdown.”

Our girls be looking pretty and awesome. I just hoped Dara wore something that fit better on her, but she’s comfortable with what she wears and told reporters before that she enjoys wearing baggy “hip-hop” clothes, so I guess I shall respect that, kekkekee! ^^ Suffice to say our girls are a mixture of naughty and nice in this shoot.. ^^

K-pop 2NE1 will heat up the stage of MBC’s music program “Music Core” this weekend, their agency said on Thursday.

An official with YG Entertainment told TenAsia over the phone that the top group will perform on the music program on Saturday, following their first TV appearance on Mnet’s “M! CountDown” on Thursday.

This will be close to the first time in two years since the group performed on “Music Core,” she explained.

Aside from SBS, it had been rumored that YG had discordance with KBS and MBC. Therefore, 2NE1′s appearance on MBC implies that the relationship between YG and MBC has been resolved.

The official also added that 2NE1 is positively looking into appearing on SBS hit variety show “Running Man” but that they are still in discussions with the producers.

Meanwhile, members Sandara Park and Park Bom have teamed up to meet with fans by creating their own official YouTube channel “Double Park TV.”

The teaser of their channel was uploaded on YG’s blog (www.yg-life.com) on Thursday. The comical teaser explains that the channel is titled “Double Park TV” because both singers have the lastname Park.

2NE1 released their reggae tune “Falling in Love” on Monday and the group will then release several singles every month until October when they drop either a new mii-album or second studio album.

The girls’ last release was album “I Love You” in July of 2012.

I LOVE and ADORE Double Park TV! ^^ Please please please! We want more!

Dara and Bom really don’t need a script or what not. When they are together, their natural playfulness just shines through! ^^

Dara Tweet

Double Park unconditional one take!!! We didn’t have any NGs and did no re-takes. We didn’t even have a script nor did we plan what to do. We actually didn’t know what to do. We were scared ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When we did that, but you like it right? If you have ideas, please just mention~
