It was a special day for the quartet and the fans as this was the first music program on which they were showcasing the songs from the latest album.

This is the reason fans were anticipating much for the Inkigayo comeback for a long time.

On the day of Inkigayo, 2NE1 met with the interviewer of Star News at the site to talk about how they felt about the comeback.

CL, the leader, commented, “It was both exciting and fun to unveil to the fans our album that came out for the first time in 4 years.”

“We took muck time preparing the new songs and the performances, and it was a delight to reveal it. The choreography of “COME BACK HOME” was designed by our boss YANG, and its quality makes us very confident.”

DARA said, “We were nervous but we also had fun. Starting from today, we will be able to show our fans many more performances on TV from now on.”

BOM added, “We had fun today and we still have a lot to show you. Because we invested so much time in this album and the performances, we are feeling confident about the other performances to come in the future.”

MINZY continued, “I am glad it ended well, and since I just turned 20 I will be able to show the fans more mature performances of a wider range.”

2NE1 once again proved their global stardom by topping various music charts home and abroad immediately after their new album release. The album “CRUSH” ranked #61 in America’s top music site Billboard 200 of the recent weekly chart, breaking the record for K-Pop group.

2NE1-정규-2집-‘CRUSH’-발매..핑크블랙-두-버전The physical version of 2NE1‘s second studio album CRUSH was finally released on the 7th on all national online and offline music stores.

This new album, which contains a total of 10 songs including the double title tracks “COME BACK HOME” and “GOTTA BE YOU”, has been released in two distinct versions: a pink and a black edition.

The visual contrast between these albums comes to show the wide range of charms 2NE1 displays via their music.

By working extensively on their album, treating the production and composition of every song as a possible title track, the group concluded all preparations with a product that encompassed various genres such as Reggae, hip-hop and R&B. CL, especially, was responsible for the writing and composition of “CRUSH”, “IF I WERE YOU” and “BABY I MISS YOU” as well as the lyrics for “SCREAM” and her solo track “MENTAL BREAKDOWN”.

Ever since 2NE1’s online release of “CRUSH” on February 26th, the album has been receiving positive feedback from national and international audiences.

In addition, it ranked high on other countries such as the US, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.
