[STARCAST] 2NE1 completed in waiting room ‘interesting 1mm backstage’

Missing You, Missing You, Missing You~~

Hello. This is ‘2NE1′. 2013 was a year of change indeed. Last July, they conveyed a fresh reggae feel through ‘Falling in Love’. In August, they showed a fierce performance through ‘Do You Love Me’.

And in November, the last one for the single project came out. The new song is ‘Missing You’. It is a 2NE1-style ballad song that can be matched with ‘It Hurts’ and ‘Lonely’. In this cold winter, they released a sentimental ballad song to warm our hearts.

‘Missing You’ was first performed at ‘2013 MAMA’. To tell you the truth, it was an abrupt decision to perform at ‘MAMA’. That is why we only had three days to prepare for the performance. We were so happy to come back on a big stage, but we had a regret, too.

We put the past behind and released the performance of ‘Missing You’ first in Korea through SBS-TV’s ‘The Music Trend’ on November 24. We felt awkward to sing a song while standing still at first, but we adapted to the situation and focused on the lyrics. We had a satisfying result.

Are you wondering about behind-the-scenes stories of 2NE1’s comeback stage of ‘Missing You’? We are going to show you the waiting room to the readers of ‘STARCAST’. 

Finally ‘2NE1’ arrived at KBS. Can you see the large letters ‘2NE1’? Once we arrived at the waiting room, it felt real that we came back. Our heart started to pound. We were both nervous and expectant. Let’s get in now.

As soon as we entered the waiting room, we could see presents from fans first. There was a rose basket for Dara. There was a cute Teddy Bear, too. There were pretty hand-written letters for Bom and Min-ji. The presents helped us to relieve nervousness and smile.

Our favorite was that cheering board made by our fan club ‘Black Jack’. The board was full of messages of support from written by each fan. We read them one by one and gained strength. We always thank you, Black Jack.

▶ Wait, whose shoes are these? We sometimes wear comfortable shoes backstage. We let our poor feet suffered from high heels rest. The yellow-green slippers are cute. To protect our members, we will not tell you whose shoes they are (laughter) 

These are the shoes that we wear on stage. All four of us wore the same black ankle boots, but the designs vary, don’t they? We chose shoes of different designs to show our own personality and taste. We will come up to the stage in the four different pairs of boots.

What about the accessories? There are a black fedora and leather gloves. You will be able to some fierce energy, won’t you? I think that all of you would know that whose accessories they are. They belong to CL, the charismatic leader of 2NE1.

They are the same hat and gloves but they have a totally different feel. The floppy hat and warmers covering wrists and backs of hands gave off feminine vibes. Whose accessories are they?

You are right! The answer is Dara. The big hat makes her small face look even smaller. The completed look will be revealed on stage. Please wait.

Now, we are getting ready for our stage. Firstly, Dara. She is thoroughly checking her warmers. She seems to be happy with the comeback costumes. She cannot stop smiling. The black and white dress is beautiful, isn’t it? 

Hairstyle check is essential, too. Especially Dara’s long straight hair requires an extra-special care. Her hair needs a thorough combing. She pays a detailed attention to her blonde hair which is in contrast with the color of her costume.
