News: 2NE1, “If Our Music Isn’t New Anymore, We Will Quit”

On the 6th, 2NE1 had an interview in the office of YG Entertainment and spoke of their newest album and what they have been doing recently.

CL said, “We came back with a single for the first time in a while and we tried many different things this time as well. We tried this genre called trot and I think many people are appreciating it because we expressed it with our own style.”

Minzy also said, “When I was young I loved singing trot with my parents. Trot is something that requires the joy and sadness of life, but because I was exposed to it since I was young, it wasn’t hard for me.”

At the end of their interview, the leader CL said something rather shocking. She spoke of the future of 2NE1, “The 2NE1 from now on? Honestly it might not exist at all. You never know the future. As for me, if the music of 2NE1 is no longer fresh and new, I don’t want to work as 2NE1 anymore. The 2NE1 that’s not new and fresh is not 2NE1. That just shows our determination to show more of our unique colors. Nothing serious (laughs).”

News: 2NE1′s Dara reveals she shed tears as she shaved her head for her comeback transformation

Awww. It must have been scary for Dara. T_T Don’t worry baby girl, your hair suits you gorgeously well! <333

2NE1′s Dara reveals she shed tears as she shaved her head for her comeback transformation

2NE1‘s Dara revealed that she shed tears as she shaved the side of her head for her dramatic hairstyle change.

During an interview held at YG Entertainment‘s headquarters, Dara stated “When I was getting my head shaved, the feeling of sorrow just crept up and I started tearing… I just did it without thinking through it for we decided that a new transformation was needed while in the midst of rehearsing. It was my first time getting my head shaved and I thought to myself that maybe this is how men who shave their heads to go off to the military feel.”

CL added, “At first, the stylist unni told me to do it. I was going to do it at first but I just couldn’t get myself to go through with it. Seeing Dara unni cry, my heart was heavy… I was going to do it at first, but I was scared of looking too strong so I had nominated the pretty Dara unni.”

Despite shedding tears the first time, Dara revealed that shaving her head no longer bothers her. “My hair grows fast, so this is already the third time I’ve had to get it shaved. Now I don’t have any lingering emotions about it.”

In related new 2NE1 will be holding their first comeback stage on July 8th through SBS’s ‘Inkigayo‘.

News: 2NE1 Reveals Snippet of World Tour Setlist

I’m pretty sure the girls would be giving us something new, they always do! ^_^

2NE1 reveals snippet of world tour setlist

K-pop sensation 2NE1 has lifted the lid on the songs they will perform to at the girls’ first world tour concert that will kick off in three months’ time.

2NE1‘s leader and rapper CL slightly opened up the details about the songs they will sing and dance to at the “NEW EVOLUTION,” while talking to local media outlets at a private interview held at the YG Entertainment office building in Seoul on July 6.

“We held our concerts last year and since then we’ve only released one new song, ‘I LOVE YOU.’ Since the setlist is going to be pretty much the same as last year, we’re doing some remix for all songs except our latest love tune,” CL said.

Regarding their upcoming singles, which initially had been planned to be released with “I LOVE YOU” in the same album, the girls said they are not sure when they will drop the next one.

“We wanted to do our best on each song and it was going to take us too much time to finish all, if we were to release them all in the same album this summer,” CL added.

“I LOVE YOU” is a mixed genre of electronic and trot music, which the members say is a unique musical genre in Korea that can be compared to the American country rock music.

The girls are receiving mixed reviews on social networking services online on their new tune, vocal style and concept, which have substantial differences from their previous releases.

“NEW EVOLUTION” will kick off with the Seoul leg at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium on July 28 and 29. The girls will take the show to meet overseas fans in Asia, North America, South America and Europe but their final itinerary has yet to be set.

The “I’M THE BEST” singers will stage the first live performance of their “I LOVE YOU” on SBS’ music program “Inkigayo” on July 8.

News: 2NE1’s Planned Appearance on ‘Running Man’ Falls Through

Sobs, why? T_T It would have been great to see the girls on the show. Imagine the girls running as fast as they can, that would have been a sight to see! T_T But oh well, let’s just think of it this way, no variety shows means the girls could have more rest on this comeback and before their world tour starts. (Though, I’d still want to see the girls on this show one day!)

Anyway, fighting to the girls! ^_^ 

2NE1’s Planned Appearance on ‘Running Man’ Falls Through

2NE1’s planned appearance on SBS’s Running Man has fallen through.

Despite initial negotiations and discussions to have the 2NE1 members appear on an upcoming episode of SBS’ Running Man, the group has ultimately decided to turn down the invitation to appear on the popular variety program.

In between kicking off promotions for 2NE1’s upcoming new single I Love You and preparing for its upcoming world tour, it was decided fitting in time for television variety programs would prove too much.

In addition, a YG Entertainment representative added, “The 2NE1 members are rather shy and don’t fit well with variety programs. They would like to avoid appearing on a good show and end up inconveniencing the program.”

In addition, sources from YG Entertainment shared it is likely the 2NE1 members would not be appearing on variety programs for this upcoming round of promotions due to their busy schedules and discomfort the members feel on variety programs.

On a previous episode of Mnet′s 2NE1 TV, the members expressed their nervousness for a recording for SBS’ Strong Heart the next day and could be seen practicing their topics late into the night.

2NE1 will release its new track I Love You on July 5 and hold its comeback stage on July 8 on SBS’ Inkigayo.

2NE1 will also kick off its world tour New Evolution on July 28 and 29 at Seoul’s Gymnastics Stadium.

News: 2NE1 members exclaim, “It’s so exciting to meet Spiderman in person!”

 2NE1 members exclaim, “It’s so exciting to meet Spiderman in person!”

Recently, girl group 2NE1 has met the main cast of Amazing Spiderman.

On June 14, a red carpet event for Amazing Spiderman was held at the Grand Hall of Lotte mall located in Gimpo Airport in Banghwa-dong, Ganseo-gu, Seoul. There, 2NE1 members spent meaningful time with leading actors of the movie.

Prior to the appearance of the actors, 2NE1 stepped on the red carpet first; they waved and autographed for their fans.

On the stage, the singers shared their feelings upon being invited to the event. Gong Min Ji said, “Among the many man’s in the world, my favorite one is Spiderman.” Sandara Park added, “Spiderman seems sexier than any other heroes.”

After actors presented themselves before the audience, 2NE1 reappeared and greeted them in English.

When Park asked Rhys Ifans, “Have you ever listened to our music?” he answered, “Of course.” But he became lost when asked to name a song he listened to, so the girls sang a line from “I Am The Best.” Immediately, Ifans sang after them.

Park emphasized, “I’m so glad and it’s very exciting to see them (actors) in person.”

“It’s fantastic and exciting,” responded Emma Stone.

Park concluded, “We’re so looking forward to the movie and we’ll be watching it together. Thank you so much for inviting us tonight.”

2NE1 left the place after having a photo session with the main cast and director Marc Webb.

2NE1 is delaying their comeback as well as the release of their new album.

A representative of YG Entertainment stated on the 12th KST, “There were plans to release 2NE1′s new album within this month. However, because there were so many good songs and [because they are putting their hearts and souls into this album], the release period has been delayed.”

As the 2NE1 members are absorbed in album preparations these days, it’ll be appreciated if you take a lot of interest in [the upcoming album],” making it clear that the group was delaying their comeback due to album production and not to avoid competition with other groups.

News: Why Sandara Park is the Ultimate Dongahn

Why Sandara Park is the Ultimate Dongahn

Sandara Park‘s past photos resurface and the netizens are impressed.

Several photos of Sandara Park were posted on an online community board titled, ‘Sandara Park’s past photos which seem like were taken just a week ago’. (Donghan: looking younger than one’s age).

The photos are from before Sandara Park debuted as a member of 2NE1. In some of the photos she’s completely makeup free but her skin complexion is flawless beyond belief. The real shocker comes when you compare her old photos to a recent one and she looks basically identical to her much younger self.

Netizens commented on Sandara Park’s past photos, “Sandara Park is the the real donghan beauty”, “It really looks like it was taken just a week ago”, “She doesn’t age does she?”, “You can’t help but fall with love with her beauty”, and so on.
