2NE1, K-Pop Sensations, Heading To America for Two Shows

2NE1, the female Korean pop quartet that has become an overseas sensation in their three years together, have plotted their first international tour — the New Evolution trek — that will include the group’s debut stops in the United States.

CL, Dara, Bom and Minzy will head to 10 cities in seven countries this summer, including Newark, NJ on Aug. 17 and Los Angeles on Aug. 24. A 49-second tour trailer released earlier this month demonstrates the glittery fashion and eye-popping theatrics of a 2NE1 concert.

We feel very blessed for this opportunity to tour worldwide. We’ve been working with an awesome team and can’t wait to hit the road and rock out with our fans,” says CL in a statement. “We’re especially looking forward to coming back to the states for our first official US shows.

2NE1 gained momentum last year when they were crowned “Best New Band In The World” in an international vote held by MTV Iggy. The group’s hits include the international smash “I Am The Best,” “Ugly” and “I Love You,” the latter of which received an official music video earlier this month that has already racked up 7.3 million YouTube views. The song is currently No. 1 on Billboard’s K-Pop Hot 100 chart.

Along with the two U.S. shows, 2NE1 will also perform in Korea and Japan on the tour; the full itinerary is below.

July 28: Seoul, Korea (Olympic Gymnastics Stadium)
July 29: Seoul, Korea (Olympic Gymnastics Stadium)
Aug. 17: Newark, N.J. (Prudential Center)
Aug. 24: Los Angeles, Calif. (Nokia Theatre)
Sept. 1: Osaka, Japan
Sept. 2: Osaka, Japan
Sept. 7: Nagoya, Japan
Sept. 8: Nagoya, Japan
Sept. 11: Yokohama, Japan
Sept. 12: Yokohama, Japan

News: 2NE1 Members Find Singing Easier than Talking

2NE1 Members Find Singing Easier than Talking

While the 2NE1 members were attending the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France, they also shot some amazing photos with fashion magazine, W.

Issued in the August edition of W magazine, the pictorial revealed the 2NE1 members wearing very distinct outfits and unique accessories such as Sandara Park’s giant pom-poms or Minzy′s winged hat.

The magazine also showed some pictures from when 2NE1 was speaking at the Festival in June.

During the interview with W, 2NE1 discussed its newest single I Love You and its upcoming global tour concert, New Evolution, which will take place on July 28 and 29 in Seoul, before moving to the rest of the world.

When told that their performances in Korea were shortened due to their upcoming concert, CL replied, “We were a bit sad, but because the first concert is in Seoul, we were able to feel a bit better. We’re currently really busy, preparing for the concert and our next single, but we’re a lot happier when we’re working rather than just resting.”

W asked, “Choosing between standing on the first comeback stage or talking at the Festival, which one is harder?”

“Talking is definitely harder,” said Sandara Park.

CL added, “At a performance, we’re able to transform into something completely different, but at settings like this one, we have to show ourselves, so it makes us nervous at times.”

The complete interview and pictorial can be found in the August issue of W magazine.

News: 2NE1 To Lose Weight, Except Sandara Park Who Will Do The Opposite

The girls are really working hard for their concert, even with their eating habits! I just hope that they’d stay healthy! 2NE1 fighting!!! ^_^

2NE1 To Lose Weight, Except Sandara Park Who Will Do The Opposite

With their song, “I Love You” sweeping the music industry by storm this mid-summer, girl group 2NE1 revealed that, “All the members, except Sandara Park, are on a diet,” they said.

Recently, 2NE1 met up with some members of the press and said, “Recently, we’ve been dieting these days in preparation of the world tour. But Sandara Park, who is underweight, needs to eat more,” they said. They revealed that instead of eating sweets, they’ve taken to drinking a lot of water instead. They added, “The company didn’t spefically tell us to lose weight. Instead, the members voluntarily went into a diet so that we could show more beautiful features for the fans,” furthermore, they said, “It’s a combination of dieting and exercising,” they revealed.

On the other hand, Sandara Park said, “I think I need to gain a bit more weight. But my mouth is too small and can’t take in a lot of food, so I don’t eat much. I bet you’d be surprised if you know my real weight,” she revealed with a smile.

2NE1‘s single, “I Love You,” which was released recently as their comeback single in Korea, has been received with an explosive response. Their world tour, called “New Evolution,” which is scheduled to start at the Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium, would be a first for a girl group coming from the country. Even after 10 days from its release, “I Love You” is steadily claiming the top spot, despite facing stiff competition from other group releases.

2NE1 made their comeback amidst a storm of other comeback schedules on July, netizens expect to see fierce competition unfold as these groups go neck-to-neck for the top spot. However, 2NE1‘s achievement of staying on the top place at number 1, shows that they are not like other normal girl groups. Their song, which is a mixture of trot and electronic, plus their more feminine and sexy concepts, gave off a high level of anticipation from fans and netizens, gaining a following that lead to their claiming the top spot.

Meanwhile, 2NE1 is set to hold the first stop of the “New Evolution” world tour concert, in the coming 28th and 29th, at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Stadium. They are planning to bring the concert to 10 different cities, in 7 different countries.
