[OSEN=선미경 기자] 2NE1 was hot and energetic from the beginning to the end.
2NE1 has finished the Seoul concert of their second world tour “ALL OR NOTHING”, on the 2 this month at Olympic Park’s SK Handball Hall located in Bangi-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul. The concert was held on March 1 and 2 and recorded a great success by attracting total 12,000 people of audience.
After the end of the last concert, an after-party was held at the 10pm on March 2, at club THE A located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The after-party was held to have a more private time with 2NE1’s fans, and fans who watched the concert filled the club to further enjoy the fever of the concert.
2NE1 appeared in the club by 1am on March 3. All the fans’ attention was drawn to the stage, as they had been waiting for 2NE1 for hours. Fans who filled the 1st and 2nd floor of the club acclaimed 2NE1’s enthusiastic performance. 2NE1 sang “I’M THE BEST”, “I LOVE YOU”, as well as “GOTTA BE YOU”, one of the double title tracks of 2NE1’s latest second regular album, and CL’s solo track “MTBD”. 2NE1 heated the atmosphere with their endless energy, even though they had poured all their energy into the world tour concert for two and a half hours before the after-party.
2NE1’s flagship image as “girls who play hard” was materialized on the stage of the club. 2NE1 gave performances which were as charismatic and powerful as in the world tour. Fans on the floor were impressed by 2NE1’s performances and enjoyed the fever of the concert further. Notably, MINZY’s powerful and sexy dance added to the passionate mood. Fans could not but give thunderous claps to 2NE1, for the small but powerful, colorful, and exciting performances that only 2NE1 can create.
Generally, singers have an after-party with concert staff who worked hard with them for a concert. 2NE1’s after-party with fans and disclosure of it is a very rare case in Korea. Notably, 2NE1’s exciting and enthusiastic response on the stage to their fans, who gave them clapping and cheering even after the concert, was very impressive.
Meanwhile, total 15 concerts will be held in 2NE1’s world tour, in 12 cities in nine countries including China and Japan, after beginning from Seoul concert. Travis Payne and Stacey Walker who had produced the first world tour of 2NE1, took part in the production of the second world tour once again, and a world-class live session band and visual video team Inpossible worked with the producers to create a concert that entertains both the eyes and ears of the audience.
2NE1 gives a comeback performance for their second album in SBS “INKIGAYO” that will be aired on the 9 this month, and continue to appear on TV in Korea and meet fans around the world through their world tour.

There’s no doubt that Korean pop phenoms 2NE1 are entering the most fascinating phase of their career. Rapper CL, dancer Minzy, and vocalists Bom and Dara first stormed the scene in 2009 with the barnburner “Fire,” then cemented their international renown with instant classics like “I Am the Best” and “Lonely.” They earned the respect of everyone from Diplo to Jeremy Scott, enjoyed accolades like MTV’s “Best New Band in the World” award in 2011, and built a fanbase empire with foreign legions as far-flung as France and Brazil.
But in the olympiad since their debut album To Anyone, 2NE1 have seemed reticent to release a proper follow-up against mounting pressures worldwide. That’s all changing this week, however, with their new Crush album finally out now, and the premiere of their their $470,000, CGI-ballistic double video for the genre-bending “Come Back Home” (and its acoustic cousin) as well as the video for “Happy.” They’re also kicking off their “All Or Nothing” world tour in Seoul in a matter of hours on March 1st, their first proper shows in well over a year. We caught up with Asia’s fiercest four to mark the occasion, discuss the new album, and find out more about why this is the most pivotal moment 2NE1 will ever face.
Noisey: Let’s talk first about your lead single and video, “Come Back Home.”
CL: “Come Back Home” is the name of one of the biggest Korean songs from the ‘90s, by Seo Taiji & Boys, which YG [Yang Hyun-suk, YG Entertainment’s CEO] was a member of. We thought it would be cool to shout out [the original] “Come Back Home” in dedication to YG.
For the video, the entire process was very different. We shot two versions at the same time and it’s more like a movie than anything else you have seen from us.
Crush is your first full-length record in four years. How have you grown musically during the time inbetween, and why did you wait this long to put out another album?
After our last mini-album [2011’s 2NE1 EP] we went on our first world tour, which kept us away from recording. For this album, we pretty much locked ourselves up in the studio and gave it 100%. We’ve also grown a lot as women since our first album, and you’ll be able to hear that on this record.
Also, since I wrote a lot of the music, it’s even more personal to us than our previous records.
What are some of your favorites?
Bom: “Gotta Be You,” because I really like the hook and the sad lyrics. [And yet] it makes you want to rock out.
Minzy: “Come Back Home” is my favorite to listen to.
Dara: “Chakhan Yeoja (Good To You).” I love the lyrics and I feel this song represents me well. I also love CL’s rap at the end.
CL, you wrote the music for three songs and lyrics for five. YG has said he was so surprised to hear you write for the first time that you’ll be following Crush with a solo album, right?
I woke up one day and suddenly felt like I had so much to say…I ended up making ten songs in about two weeks. In 2NE1, you mostly see just one side of CL. I have other sides of myself that I can show to the world, and this solo album will show that…it will be a lot more personal.
“All Or Nothing” is your second world tour of this scale. What can your fans expect this time out? How will it be different from previous 2NE1 concerts?
Our last tour seemed more catered to the image we felt that the public had of 2NE1 – it was fun and high-energy. For this tour, we wanted to bring about other elements that are more pure to what 2NE1 is…it’s more graceful. We really wanted to challenge ourselves and show the other sides of a woman.
In the video announcement of your album and world tour, you seem at a crossroads — a bit self-doubting even, talking about a “do or die attitude.” What feels especially immense about this moment in your career?
“All or Nothing” refers to our world tour and [the fact that] it’s been four years since our last album…four years is an especially long time in Korea. So each one of us personally has that “do or die” attitude. We are giving everything we have into this album and tour…We have never released an album full of all new and previously unheard material.
