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.

141125560_4

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) 

141132834_6

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.

141136535_7

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.

141139478_8

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?

141142464_9

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.

141145530_10

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? 

141148140_11

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.

Interview: 2NE1, Exposure that Reflects Sorrow… Difference is Competitiveness

2NE1, exposure that reflects sorrow…difference is competitiveness[Interview]

51281002

‘Unrivaled girl group’ 2NE1. This is not just their plausible modifier. Since their debut, and for five more years they have been differentiating their music with unique distinguished characters. They are still differentiated from other groups. 2NE1’s weapon is ‘difference’ which is now settled down as their unrivaled competitiveness.

2NE1’s new song ‘Missing You’ is about extreme sorrow. It is not a typical break up song but it is broader. They said the recalled each members when they sang the song.

“I imagined the possibility of parting up with my members. I would miss them if we start doing things apart. In fact, everyone sang the song with same heart. It is not that we are going to stop being a team!(laughs). We had a lot of time to think during the tour last year. I think that time made up feel more special to each other.”(CL)

1456610_582206491828549_1897476265_n

2NE1 who mainly showed strong intense performance, came back with sad tear shedding new song ‘Missing You’. The music video was even more shocking. Member CL made a bold daring decision to perform naked.

“As soon as I listened to the song, I wanted to play raw. I thought this song did not go out with any clothes. I wanted to express the ‘ra image’ so I first offered to perform naked in the video. I could not have done it if someone asked me to. I did not feel uncomfortable since I knew this goes well with the song.”(CL)

“CL said lets go all nude together. We were appalled. We all refused so she did it by herself. When we saw the video, it was amazing.”(Park Bom)

1452179_582206428495222_52885860_n

She even made her members’ startled. But her choice eventually created a artistic outcome. The video was lauded by Billboard which said “CL has does the sad and naked with more classic than Miley Cirus ‘Wrecking Ball'”

“We were really surprised. I thought she was so cool to go naked for our video. Her art spirit was amazing. I did not have any desire for naked performance since I have the youngest image.”(Minzy)

This was a big issue even inside the YG Entertainment and Yang Hyun-suk.

“He said nothing much. I remember him saying ‘I will let her go naked since she wants to but I am a little worried.’ after watching the outcome Yang Hyun-suk and YG family all said ‘Thank god it came out well. We were so worried.’ I guess it was a big issue in YG. Many must have been worried.”(CL)

1451380_582206431828555_1374641360_n

The song ‘Missing You’ is the third single this year after ‘Falling in love’ and ‘Do you love me’. In the beginning of the year they planed on releasing each song every month from July to October. Actually it did not turn out as they planned.

“We tried to comeback with regular album. This is why it took so long. But we just came out with ‘Missing You’ because we wanted to share the song fast. Also due to the timing and weather. Regular album? There are already many songs. We did not want to rush anything. Instead we wanted to come out with perfect high quality songs.”(CL)

Previously 2NE1 already garnered attention with their comeback time overlapping with YG Family musicians. Again, their comeback will be overlapping with Taeyang and TOP who are already in promotion. Instead of looking uncomfortable they seem to look happy.

“We are really close with Young-bae(Taeyang). We don’t know many celebrities since we don’t regularly come out. We are happy to see our family musician. It is not boring to work together.”(CL)

1474423_582206418495223_1564934669_n

“If our promotion overlap I feel more excited. When we are active in promotion, sometime I feel tired, sick, sleepy but still..alive.”(Dara Park)

Park Bom and Dara Park playfully confessed that they have no development in their love life although they earned their freedom to date. When they said about music, they soon became serious right away. When they were asked about their future goals and plans they focused on their simple not far away plans.

“For now, our goal is to release our regular album. We will be dropping our regular album before our world tour next year. We don”t want to become meaningless top chart singers. Instead we would like to inspire and effect others with our song.”(CL)

Feature Article: Dara’s Parts in Naver Star Cast’s Behind the Scenes Feature During 2NE1’s Inkigayo Comeback Stage for “Missing You”

Okay, so Star Cast usually posts up their English translations in a couple of hours after the Korean one is released. ^^ So I’ll just post their trans up when it comes. But for now, enjoy the Dara and 2NE1 parts of the BTS! ❤

141139478_8

Also a pair of hat and gloves, but this time exuding a different charisma. The black, floppy hat with wide brim and gloves that encase the wrist until her arm. The atmosphere is very feminine. Which 주인공은 (T/N: literally main character/ heroine/ protagonist) will wear this? Check it out below right now.

141142464_9

Right! The correct answer is Dara. The big hat isn’t a joke. It makes her small face look even smaller. It will make a perfect shot when worn on stage. We will show the shots soon. Please wait a little.

141145530_10

Now completely into preparing for the comeback stage. First off is Dara. Carefully putting on and inspecting each item before going on stage. Even when her mind is on the comeback stage. Her smile never left her place. Isn’t her black and white dress pretty?

141148140_11

Hair preparation is very important. Specially the management of Dara’s long, straight hair style is not easy. With this in mind, her hair has to be carefully combed. Her blonde hair and black and white oufit, while contrasting, will look great on stage.

141238749_21

“Bling bling purple nails.”

141246242_24

The character with the purple nails, Dara. She chose this nail color in order to have a cute point.

141256138_27

Dara is enthusiastically doing autographs. Holding the black pen carefully while signing.

141258815_28

“All the fans, accept my sign, juseyo.”

141301845_29

“Whose sign is the prettiest?”

141311072_32

We never spare support and and advise for each other. Watching Taeyang sunbae-nim’s awesome stage with mouths open. We will work hard in order to give a good performance. YG family~

141316233_33

The records have been set within only a day from the release of the music video at midnight on the 21. 2NE1 is catching eyes in the music video, by acting with full emotions and performing a nude scene. Notably, 2NE1’s leader CL is giving off a mystical atmosphere which goes against her past charismatic style, presenting bold performance in a scene where she is sitting crouched undressed, as well as in another scene where she is sitting in a bathtub.
