About 2NE1
“This is extremely amazing! Check out 2NE1’s activities!”
They debuted in Korea on 2009, and on that same year, during the 「Mnet Asia Music Awards」 they bagged the Artist of the Year (T/N: Actually, they won Best New Female Artist in MAMA 2009, they won Artist of the Year in MAMA 2010), and dominated when they won 3 more awards, and getting major music awards from other bodies too. And from that instant, they have been recognized as top artists, despite their rookie status.

Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am is only one of the top artists who expressed his high praises for the talented South Korean group, 2NE1, who are finally debuting in Japan with the release of their first album, NOLZA. Their debut album is a mix of R&B and HIPHOP, showing a unique variety of music.
Member CL said 『This is the product of 2NE1’s essence and ambitious work』.
DARA
Our producer, TEDDY, especially gave it an expressive power, and the vocals were good, giving it an excellent finish. I recommend the song 『 I AM THE BEST』 when driving, 『naega jeil jalnaga』 it makes me want to sing.
CL
The Intro remained in Korean, and some of the PHRASES too, it was our first time to sing in Japanese. We retained some of the original Korean to save nuances.
BOM
I have trouble when recording Japanese and Korean because of my pronunciation, which is a mess.
MINZY
In the UGLY MV, there was fire and explosions. Because we stayed up all night shooting it, we took special care about it looked. In addition, because of DON’T STOP THE MUSIC’s tempo, I sing it when I hope to relieve some tension.
Beginning on September 19th, they will meet 70,000 Japanese fans in their first live concert.
BOM
At first, I really felt pressured, but before we debuted in Japan, BIG BANG’s SOL told me, 『In Japan, just do the same work as you do in Korea. Don’t let is put pressure on your shoulders, but just enjoy it.』 And because of what he told me, my mind was more at ease. I’d want to show 2NE1, without the frills, but just us and our talent.
DARA
2NE1’s motto has always been “Let’s play (T/N: Nolja/nolza).” I wish we could play and jump well in Japan too.

Holding a great influence on the lifestyle of young women in South Korea, 4-member dance and vocal group, 2NE1, has finally made their debut in Japan on September 21st. Big Bang’s younger siblings, they have a unique mix of hip-hop and R&B music, and always brings something fresh everytime they come out with new songs in Korea, resulting to ranking number 1 every time. With their edgy fashion and make-up, they have been a standard that young women imitate.
On the onset of their Japanese debut, we’ve asked these four people what is in their hearts and to introduce themselves:
● Finally, the long-awaited Japan debut is here! [T/N: These, the ones in bullets, are the ones in the red bordered boxes]
CL
Actually, I spent 7 years of my childhood living here in Japan. That’s why there’s a certain familiar feeling, like being back home. Also we wanted to really meet the Japanese fans soon, so we made preparations to come here fast. So the four members really prepared a lot since September.
● They were initially scheduled to debut last spring. But while they were here in Japan last March, Tokyo and a major part of eastern Japan, experienced a major earthquake, thus postponing their debut.
CL
We were preparing for our TV broadcast, when the earthquake happened suddenly. I don’t remember it clearly, but I do remember being so scared. So we had to temporarily leave Japan, but our hearts went out to all the Japanese people who were hurt.
BOM
In the past, I already experienced an earthquake while I was still living in the United States, but it was the first time that I experienced an earthquake that strong.
DARA
I also experienced earthquakes while I lived in the Philippines, but they weren’t as scary as the one (in Japan). When it happened, I got so scared that I felt sick, then there were the aftershocks. But I wanted to really come back because I was thinking of the fans who were waiting for us in Japan.
MINZY
It was the first time for me to experience an earthquake. At that time, I had an emotional/mental turmoil. But then I thought of everyone in Japan who are fans of our music, and it really helped me heal and that thought helped me calm my mind and recover.
The one who posted that is Kaori Yokota, the host of radio program, GOGOMONZ. This episode with the 2ne1 girls, would be aired on the September 19th. ^_^ Can’t wait to hear them speak in Japanese! ^_^
