PETALING JAYA: Save the date, K-pop lovers! South Korean girl group 2NE1 will perform their first full-fledged concert in Malaysia on May 23, slated to take place at Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur.

The “2014 2NE1 World Tour All Or Nothing” is the group’s second global outing, and members CL, Dara, Park Bom and Minzy will perform their previous chart-topping hits and the latest singles such as Falling In LoveDo You Love Me, and Missing You.

Fans can also anticipate new songs from their upcoming album, All Or Nothing.

According to 2NE1’s official Facebook page on Thursday, the team for this tour’s production will include co-directors Travis Payne and Stacy Walker, who worked on label-mate G-Dragon’s “One Of a Kind” world tour in 2013, and Possible Productions for production design and visual contents.

The tour will kick off on March 1 with a two-day concert at SK Handball Stadium in Seoul, Korea, and will continue in 13 cities in nine countries, with a total of 17 shows at this point.

Known for their diverse range of musical stylings influenced by genres such as hip hop, reggae, and Korean teurouteu (trot), the fashion-forward female members have been a breath of fresh air in the frenetic K-pop scene since their debut in 2009 with the hit single, Fire.

In March 2013, 2NE1 performed several of their hits, including Can’t Nobody andLonely, at the Twin Towers Alive 2013 concert in Plaza KLCC.

In 2012, their Dec 8 appearance at Stadium Malawati in Shah Alam was cancelled, with organiser Running Into The Sun stating the “2NE1 Global Tour 2012 In Malaysia New Evolution” was called off due to technical issues.

Girls’ Generation or 2NE1?

A recent survey of entertainment industry experts showed that Girls’ Generation and 2NE1 are the two groups still at the top of K-pop, but are now sharing the turf with Sistar.

Five album directors, three promoters, two K-pop reporters, and two training managers were surveyed by the Sports Chosun, a daily specializing in entertainment and sports news. The girl groups were evaluated and ranked into six categories based on sales, popularity, impact on the K-pop scene and growth potential.

It found that the four-member Sistar has proven its star quality with such hits as “Give it to Me” last year, to make the top tier.

The nine-member Girls’ Generation also lived up to its fame last year by winning several international music awards with its January release of “I Got a Boy.”

The four-member 2NE1 were rated as faring generally well in domestic and overseas markets; the group has announced a world tour for this year.

“In contrast to Girls’ Generation, Sistar has concentrated on the domestic market. And this was crucial in beating out its long-time rival in the survey,” an unidentified music industry insider was quoted as saying in a related story.

Just below the top group stood f(x) and Girl’s’ Day, the former affirming its future potential with the last year’s hit song “Rum Pum Pum Pum” and the latter with this year’s “Something.”

The survey said a third category is comprised of miss A, 4minute, Secret and A pink. It was followed closely by After School, Brown Eyed Girls, Crayon Pop, Dal Shabet and KARA. KARA fell by one notch, compared with the same survey last year, due to the departure of two popular members ㅡ Nicole and Kang Ji-young ㅡ in January.

Music and fashion operate so closely to each other, there are bound to be collisions. Fortunately, the consequences are usually awesome. From pop divas to rock stars, from high fashion to sportswear- these ads are what happens when musician becomes muse.

With 2NE1 preparing their second world tour and a new album, it is nice to know that international celebrities are also keeping their eyes on the YG girl group.

But The Wanted is not the only one touting 2NE1 fashion.

2NE1 along with fellow YG labelmates Taeyang and G-Dragon of Big Bang are featured in a recent feature by New York Magazine, highlighting K-pop fashion.

In particular, the magazine highlights 2NE1 for their stunning airport fashion and ever-changing looks.
