[OSEN= Young Jin Lim] It seems that foreign media are also surprised at 2NE1’s release strategy of releasing one single per month from July to October.

MTV, Spin.com and Billboard.com of the U.S highlighted 2NE1’s comeback with their new reggae-style single ‘Falling In Love’ and their release strategy to release one single per month for 4 consecutive months.

On 9th, Online version of MTV stated that “2NE1 plans to release singles one per month and this means you will be facing the best days of your life. Well, it all comes down to your definition of ‘Best’ though” as it expressed its deepest interest in 2NE1.

In addition, Billboard also made a news out of 2NE1’s comeback as they stated on July 8th that 2NE1 plans to release one song a month from July to October. Billboard expressed its expectations towards 2NE1’s future career as it wrote “With their single ‘I Love You’, 2NE1 topped music charts for 2 weeks in a row last year. Moreover, 2NE1’s leader CL ranked 4th on the chart (as of June) with her solo ‘The Baddest Female'”.

Unfortunately 2NE1 was unable to actively show up on screens and stages due to a tight schedule such as their world tour last year. It is estimated that 2NE1 will once again sweep Korea’s Summer and Fall by releasing 4 singles in a row starting with ‘Falling In Love’ on 8th this month. 2NE1 aims to release at least 4 songs until October.

YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun Suk commented that he always wished 2NE1 had more time to continue their career in the domestic arena. He added that “This is why we reached a conclusion that it would be better to release these singles one per month, which are outcomes of 2NE1’s tireless efforts in the past 2 years, rather than releasing them in a lump sum. 2NE1 plans to continue their domestic career constantly for this time.” It is also told that they will be throwing a concert in October.

2NE1 is currently wrapping up their current activities on the new single. One related staff from the YG Entertainment stated that 2NE1 is nearly done with their recordings, performance and general preparations.

News: Barefoot Performance By a Girl Group? Impressive Come Back Stage

Barefoot Performance By a Girl Group? Impressive Come Back Stage

725062_98399_3143

[OSEN= Hye Rin Lee] 2NE1, one of the most popular girl groups, has gained attention with bold barefoot performance.

July 11th, on Mnet ‘M Countdown,’ 2NE1 had a comeback stage with the new song ‘Falling in Love.’ On the stage filled with sand, they appeared barefoot and showcased a sensational performance dancing along the raggae rhythm.

The reason why many girl groups have performed with high heels enduring its huge pain is to show off their nice legs. However, 2NE1 boasted their confidence on their leg lines without heels by staging barefoot matched with short pants.

Of course this was only possible thanks to the sand that was specially prepared for their comeback stage. Dancing barefoot barely happens since it is rather dangerous to dance on an ordinary stage barefoot. Ga-in’s tango-style ‘Irreversible’ barefoot performance is almost the only other barefoot performance so far.

Meanwhile, 2NE1 has staged with cute and lively charms which contrasts with their original charismatic image. Their choreography also well reflects their new charm. Their choreography was even more original since they have worked with the new rising Japanese choreographer, Koharu.

YG Entertainment said, “The reason behind avoiding working with choreographers with fancy career experience is for the novelty. Koharu was a nice match with 2NE1 since Koharu’s choreograpy went well with 2NE1’s song. YG Entertainment is striving to come up with original and unique choreography rather than conventional moves.”

[OSEN= Jae Min Pyo] 2NE1, one of the top girl groups in Korea, has completed their impressive comback stage with their new reggae-style love song. They staged barefoot as if they were trying to emphasize the summer mood and successfully dominated the screen.

2NE1 had their comeback stage on 11th of July, on ‘Mnet M Countdown’ with their new song, ‘Falling in Love.’ 2NE1 revealed the love song that goes perfectly well with summer for the first time on a music program.

First of all, 2NE1 pleased the audience with their exciting love song. The fun reggae-style song was new and addictive. Also, the members catch our eyes since 2NE1 is armed with new set of cute charms and beauty. Their barefoot performance was even more enjoyable since they actually performed on a stage filled with sand to create beach atmosphere.

Not to mention their choreography. Since they have worked together with one of the famous choreographers in Japan, their sophisticated moves were impressive.

‘Falling in Love’ is earning favorable reviews, in that the reggae-style genre they have tried out for the first time goes well with hot summer.

Starting with ‘Mnet M Countdown,’ they are having other comback stages on MBC ‘Show! Music Core’ on 13th and SBS ‘The Music Trend’ on 14th.
