After finishing your military duties, and seeing that YG has a more liberated image compared to SM, have you ever thought of moving to a different agency?
I think I’m more liberated (T/N: liberal/free-spirited) for even YG (laughs) I haven’t thought of it, I think that there’s dissatisfaction wherever company I made be, the dissatisfaction may be different for each company, but it exists all the same. For example, YG has this system wherein the YG artists only appear in only one or two broadcasts per week. In SM, artists appear in four broadcasts per week. To be honest, once or twice a week is more convenient, as it gives more time for preparation and sees to it that bodies are more comfortable. So in that aspect, I envy the YG kids. However, there was something funny that YG group, 2NE1’s Sandara Park once said to me, “Oppa, we envy the artists on SM for coming out on broadcasts a lot,” she revealed. So it made me think that it’s all about perspective.

(서울=연합뉴스) 이은정 기자 = YG Entertainment’s girl group 2NE1 will appear on CW TV’s “America’s Next Top Model,” reality survival program in the U.S., for its season 21 finale.
According to several media outlets and fashion industry officials on March 26, 2NE1 was reportedly invited to appear on the show’s season finale as guests. Currently, a global supermodel and the host of “America’s Next Top Model” Tyra Banks, along with the show’s participants, are filming in Seoul, Korea.
One of the officials explained, “2NE1 plans to appear as guests on the show’s season finale to watch the final participants to walk on the runway near the Banpo Riverside Park on April 2,” adding, “I heard that 2NE1 was invited to the show because they are not only a leading girl group of K-Pop, but also fashionistas with great sense of fashion.”
“America’s Next Top Model” is a reality survival program in which participants compete with one another until the last winner remains in order to become the next top model. In Korea, the OnStyle channel aquired copyright of the show and aired it under the title, ”Top Model Korea.”
Tyra Banks and the production staff of the show has been traveling around the world to film every season. For the show’s final season to be filmed in Korea, the OnStyle channel submitted an application to a government-funded program, ”Location Incentive,” offered by the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) to make it possible.
Participants of “America’s Next Top Model” season 21 are filming five episodes in Seoul over the course of two weeks, experiencing Korean traditions and modern culture by visiting several places, such as Gyeongbok Palace, Gwanghwamun Square, Cheonggyecheon, Seoul City Hall, Gwangjang Market, Sinchon, and Dongdaemun.

Q2: @VIGTORYGD The expression on your face during live performances is the best and leaves a deep impression, what does unnie think of to act like this on stage?!
A2: There’s this feeling before the music starts when I’m singing live, which is like everyone’s holding their breath, not just for us singers, but the audience as well, and it gives me goosebumps every single time, I immerse myself in it.. So the expression on my face during performances comes out naturally, and not something I just act out.. Kya….

Take a look at most of the K-pop girl groups today and you will be inundated with an overdose of cutesy or sexy girls. But 2NE1 are a breath of fresh air with their funky and edgy fashion styling, making the quartet stand out from the other seemingly homogenous girl groups in the scene.
2NE1 are not afraid to try different musical styles, such as hip hop in their debut track Fire (2009) and reggae in 2013’s Falling In Love. Their willingness to experiment with genres shows the group’s versatility and vast potential as artists, which make fans look forward to more each time.
YG Entertainment is creating buzz around the globe, thanks to its stable of superstar artists including Big Bang and Psy, who have churned out phenomenal chart-topping tracks in the past two years. All eyes are on YG’s only girl group 2NE1 to follow in their seniors’ footsteps.
