Korean girl group 2NE1 is one of the driving forces in K-pop’s international expansion: The quartet was the first Korean female group to stage a world tour; will.i.am snagged them for his #willpower LP, which also boasted guest spots from Britney Spears, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus; plus, the girls have 5.8 million Facebook ‘likes’ and 1.9 million YouTube subscribers.
With such accolades, it’s a wonder why the phenom has only dropped one full-length album in the five years since their 2009 debut single. Fuse News was in South Korea as part of our ongoing FUSE LOVES SEOUL: From K-Pop to Hip Hop week, where the girls told us they opt for quality over quantity.
“One of the reasons is we want to focus on each and every song,” explains the group’s leader CL, who dropped a blazing, hip-hop solo single in May. “We want every song to have a video, have a concept and have a message and have the right performance style.”
The girls dropped three singles last year—”Falling in Love,” “Do You Love Me?” and “Missing You,” earning a combined 35 million YouTube views—further upping the hype for the record. “To me, an album is like a footprint,” CL adds. “It’s legacy.”
BONUS WEB-EXCLUSIVE CLIP:
In the bonus clip, CL talks about how different the girls are, that they didn’t even expect to be in one group! She said that their difference even extends to their food choices. XD CL revealed that Bom is the type to stick to one food until she gets sick of it, Minzy is the one who eats healthy even though she doesn’t particularly find it delicious, she’d still eat it, Dara is the type to order 10,000 food but just eat bits of it so people around her are the ones who get fat, and CL says she eats normally, she likes organic food but would eat McDonald’s sometimes too. ^____^ So nice to know about little things like these! ❤

It has been ten years since the digital music market began making its mark in Korea! Although the digital market overtook the physical market in 2003, most people took to P2P (peer-to-peer) and streaming due to copyright issues. However, with the release of Se7en‘s digital single ‘Crazy‘ in December 1, 2004, the first online music download sales began, helped by the launching of MelOn in November and Soribada in July of the same year . In 2006, Korea became the first major music market in the world to become more than 50% digital!
The TOP 100 yearly charts that MelOn created based on the number of monthly downloads and streaming counts from 2004 to December 2013 were all looked over in order to discover which artists had the most hit songs over the past decade in the digital world. There were a total of 976 songs!
Which artist had the most hit songs among the 976 in the last ten years?
In first place was SG Wannabe (debut year 2004) with a total of 24 hit songs, including three collaborations they did with Kim Jong Kook, Brown Eyed Girls, and KCM. In second place was Big Bang (2006) for a total of 22 songs all on their own, meaning no collaborative works! For reference, sub-unit GD & T.O.P had two hit songs“High High” and “Oh Yeah.”
In third place was female power duo Davichi (2008) with 18 hit songs! After these two talented ladies was another YG group 2NE1 (2009), which came in fourth place with a total of 16 hit songs. Unsurprisingly, the debut years do appear to be important factors in this list–at least for the top four.
In fifth place with a total of 15 hit songs were five artists and featured both older and newer artists: MC Mong, Busker Busker, Lee Seung Gi, Brown Eyed Girls, and SeeYa. MC Mong had hit songs like “I Love U Oh Thank U,” but he did not release a new song since 2011, the same year SeeYa disbanded. On the other hand, Busker Busker began in 2011 with ‘Super Star K‘ and officially debuted in 2012 to release quite a number of hit songs over a very short period of time. Lee Seung Gi debuted the same year as SG Wannabe (2004).
Other artists unsurprisingly included popular ones, such as Girls’ Generation, T-ara, Baek Ji Young, and more.
It has been 10 years since Korea moved into the digital music marketplace everyone uses today! Congratulations to the artists who graced the annual Top 100 digital charts for the last ten years and look forward to even more hit songs that will take K-Pop by storm in the next exciting digital decade.
