News: Will.I.Am “I want to make 2NE1 into a world-wide top group”

International producer and member of group, Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am, who produced songs for girl group 2NE1, has given his praise for them.

On the 10th, during the premiere of Hollywood animated movie, Rio, Will.I.Am expressed, “I want to help make 2NE1 be the best group internationally,” saying his aspirations. (A/N: The news paraphrased what Will.I.Am said, which is “I want to do for 2NE1, what I do for the Black Eyed Peas, and that’s you know, number one in a whole bunch of countries.”)

In his interview with Pacific Rim Video (The interview was actually conducted by Chris Trondsen of Pacific Rim Video. However, the original news article linked below said MaximoTV. We stand corrected.), he revealed “We’ve alread worked eight songs with 2NE1,” he said, “And we are going to do more work on two more songs,” revealing his plan.

Will.I.am followed with, “It’s not easy. We have been working extremely hard to make 2NE1 a superstar, not only in Korea, but as well as other countries all over the world,” he explained. “We want to introduce 2NE1 in countries like Brazil and London,” he continued. (A/N: Again, this is paraphrased. He said, “It’s not easy. We’re taking our time with it, because the plan is to make someone from Korea, big in every country, not just in Korea.”)

2NE1, with the support of Will.I.Am plans to enter into the global music market, starting with the United States. 2NE1 and Will.I.A have recorded together three times, with a duration of three weeks, to complete the recording of 10 songs, meeting in different places like London and LA to work with music.

Will.I.Am debuted in 1998, and along with female member, Fergie, the four-member group became Black Eyed Peas, whose music and unique style, is popular all over the world.
