OMG! I didn’t expect that they’d show Japanese version MVs this early! When I saw the schedule, I really thought they’d show the Korean MVs, but surprise surprise, there’s two Japanese version PVs for us to spazz about! ❤
I don’t think they changed a lot for Missing You PV, but they have a lot of new scenes previously not seen on the Korean version of the MV for “Do You Love Me” and it’s awesome! The girls really let loose and looked like they had a lot of fun! More swimming pool scenes, more car scenes (except Dara because she was driving, so she needed to concentrate on the road), more beach scenes, and more party scenes! Yay!!! ❤
Kekeke, cute Driver Dara! ❤ She was driving slow so that the segway could film her. I wonder how long that particular scene took? XD And then there’s 2NE1! Haha! So cute! ❤

Yaaayyyy, finally finished HAPPY caps! Kekeke! ❤ Wasn’t happy with the hue of the MV, so I decided to edit all the caps before uploading. Whew! ❤ Enjoy the two sides of our girls: Cute, colorful, and happy VS cute, fierce, black leather, and still happy! ❤
Oh wow, 2NE1 got featured~! Awesome, awesome! <333 And I just love what they said about the girls:
“First, I have to tell you about this band… They have 600 million views and one of the biggest videos of the day, but they’re not even a household name in the United States.. YET! Kpop sensation 2NE1 just dropped two new videos and practically broke the internet.”
Check out the video and don’t forget to like! ^^ The MVs for “Come Back Home” and “Happy” were also linked in the description. Did you guys watch the music videos today already? ^^ A go go go! ^^
K-Pop Superstars Break the Internet! | YouTube Nation | Tuesday
Today, K-Pop sensation 2NE1 drops two new music videos, style guru Amy pham solves fashion dilemmas, and Superman meets the Hulk.
2NE1 Take Down Dystopia, Get Animated In The ‘Come Back Home’ + ‘Happy’ Videos
We’re obviously beyond thrilled that 2NE1 have come back home.
Congratulations, everyone! It appears as if we’ve survived the K-Pop-pocalypse. You know, how two of South Korea’s girl-group titans, 2NE1 and Girls’ Generation, both planned to release new music and videos in late-February/early-March? C’mon, do you even read the news??
Well, now that 2NE1 have seen GG’s “Mr.Mr.” wager and raised them two new videos for the Crush tracks “Come Back Home” and “Happy,” it appears as if the dust has settled for the time being, and we can finally breathe. Oh wait, except we can’t, because the clips have snatched our lungs, hearts, kidneys, and every other organ we need to function.
In the aptly titled “Come Back Home,” we see Minzy, Bom, CL, and Dara channeling a little bit of everything from the dystopian lit canon: “1984,” “Brave New World,” Beyoncé’s “Superpower”video, etc.
Much like the track itself, which switches from “Man Down” to “The Baddest Female” and back, the visual’s a total mindf*** — and we mean that in the best way possible, obvs.
“Happy” is like endorphins in music video form.
“Happy,” meanwhile, goes straight for your pleasure centers, pairing 2NE1 with some adorably emotive animation. As the video progresses, the hand-drawn bells and whistles increase until you begin to question whether 2NE1 doesn’t actually live in a half-animated paradise 24/7. (They don’t, FYI. Actually, we’ll get back to you.)
These two offerings kind of encapsulate everything that 2NE1 does best: playing with hard and soft and fusing polished K-Pop production with unexpected genres from across the globe. Needless to say, we’re (still) crushing hard.
2NE1 Serves Double Dose of Fierce With ‘Come Back Home’ & ‘Happy’ Videos
The K-pop girl group shakes up a CGI-created world and downtown Los Angeles with new visuals
K-pop’s baddest females are truly back and bolder than ever. After spending 2013 experimenting with different images and sounds — from the sunny, reggae pop of “Falling in Love” to the sparse, piano ballad “Missing You” — 2NE1‘s new album “Crush” feels like a return to its roots. The 10-track LP comes with hard-hitting, electro-pop/hip-hop tracks that recall some of the group’s past singles while refreshing the formula by incorporating new sounds.
It’s all led off by first single “Come Back Home” — one of two the quartet will actively promote — a reggae-trap hybrid that mashes the two seemingly disparate genres into a booming final product. Opening with a bouncy beat similar to Rihanna’s “Man Down,” the girls croon about losing a lover, asking him to “come back home” until the production flips into a heavy trap beat. At that point, the girls get seductive and demand their love to “come, baby baby, come, baby baby.”
While the gals played with reggae last summer, their latest feels like a more honest attempt to dive into the genre as opposed to just incorporating it for a nice summer sound. “Come Back Home” — along with album standout “MTBD,” a solo by 2NE1 leader CL — feel the type of tracks Rihanna or Nicki Minaj would make if a little more open minded to genre fusion.
In in its computer graphic-heavy visual, 2NE1 live in a futuristic world where one can escape reality for a “virtual paradise” with a special machine. While the girls can live out their ideal fantasies — unsuprisingly, main vocalist Bom is a diva singer entertaining a dinner crowd — when Dara‘s love interest would rather be in the fantasy land than with her, the girls transform into warrior rebels to lead an army to seemingly destroy the paradise.
While the sci-fi clip ends without an ultimate resolution, one wonders if the video for hip-hop/dance track “Gotta Be You” — the other promoted single off “Crush” — will be a part two.
The video for album track “Happy” dropped alongside “CBH,” revealing a much lighter side of the girls — despite the melancholy lyrics like the brilliant “I’m not happy, but I hope you’re happy” chorus.
Watch the cartoon-inspired visual as the girls saunter around Los Angeles in their signature crazy-patterned getups and hairstyles that require a double take — from Minzy‘s violet bowl cut to Dara‘s ’90s-inspired baby curls.
As Billboard previously reported, “Crush” could make an impressive splash on several Billboard charts this week. Early industry forecasts suggested the LP could sell 4,000 copies which could lead to 2NE1‘s first entry on the Billboard 200. The charts refresh every Thursday.
Fans can also look forward to videos for “Gotta Be You” and the “unplugged version” of “Come Back Home.”
THIS IS SO CUTE AND FUN AND COLORFUL! ❤ Gahhh, I hate some of their clothes, but who cares?! The girls looked so carefree and looked like they had fun! And did you spot Jeremy Scott?! Dara so gorgeous and pretty, even with the weird hair and the funny outfit! ❤ WAHHH! Guys, our queens are back! ❤
