Article: Dara and Bom’s Double Park TV Episode 1 Already a Big Hit – Gibberish Talk Gains Popularity

DARA & BOM’S DOUBLE PARK TV EPISODE 1 ALREADY A BIG HIT: GIBBERISH TALK GAINS POPULARITY

BRh7q8rCAAEkzL6.png large

[한국아이닷컴 이정현 기자] The first episode of DOUBLE PARK TV, the Internet broadcast created by 2NE1’s members DARA and BOM, was officially released.

DOUBLE PARK, named after the identical family names of DARA and BOM, was produced to serve as a promotional strategy. The promotional videos by the two 2NE1 members are a guerilla-type video, with no specific thoughts, plans or budget put into it.

The first episode that was revealed at noon of August 13 on YG LIFE shows DARA talking into the microphone labeled ‘Promotion Director DARA PARK’ and BOM talking into that labeled ‘Promotion Agent PARK BOM’. The two do not even seem to notice the camera—their instinctive and improvised conversation boasted the greatest teamwork.

The two made the viewers laugh when they called themselves FROM DOUBLE PARK, the new competitor of FROM YG, which is a channel used by YG Entertainment’s founder YANG HYUN SUK to communicate with the artists’ fans on the official website.

In DOUBLE PARK TV, the two girls talk about their new song and then out of nowhere jump to talk about Jeju Island’s grilled hairtail fish. They go off the track every so often, talking gibberish. The gung-seo font used in the video clip and the humorous editing add another source of entertainment for the viewers. Although they find it difficult to stay on one topic, they never forget to promote YG’s artists. A true promotional team.

The video is filled with the two Parks’ original ideas: selling socks at Hongik University playground to fundraise for PR activities, or inviting fans to ride their car and showing them the new song ‘DO YOU LOVE ME’ just before its release to get feedback.

What aroused attention the most was the first customer of DOUBLE PARK Personal Taxi: KANG SEUNG YOON. Despite the sudden request to sing live in the ‘taxi’, he picks up his guitar and starts singing BOM’s You & I. BOM, harmonizes perfectly with KANG SEUNG YOON, all improvised on the spot.

DARA and BOM, despite their joking around saying “Our role model is Kim Gura, so we have to be nasty to you,” showed much affection for the rookie artist. BOM seemed compassionate when KANG SEUNG YOON opens up about being left out in dance class for his lack of dance skills.

The 3rd episode of DOUBLE PARK TV will be revealed at 8 p.m. on August 13.

Official: YG’s Official Statements About 2NE1’s August Release and Double Park TV

Any more news on 2NE1’s plan for releasing a new song every month?

2NE1’s next new song will be released at the beginning of August as planned.

CL’s hip-hop solo song “THE BADDEST FEMALE” and 2NE1’s reggae “FALLING IN LOVE”, which were both
non-mainstream, were a first attempt at the genres for the group. But the new song that is to be released
at the beginning of August is a fast-paced and rhythmic song that is aimed for summer. The song is very 2NE1.

The new music video for the song in August will be directed by director SEO HYUN-SEUNG,
and Japan’s famous choreographer, KOHARU SUGAWARA, who designed the moves for “FALLING IN LOVE”,
will once again choreograph 2NE1’s new song.

Give us a brief explanation on DOUBLE PARK TV

2NE1’s BOM and DARA are diligently filming DOUBLE PARK TV, which will be revealed online soon.

DOUBLE PARK TV does not have any set format for regular viewing, it’s sort of “do whatever you want”
online program. BOM and DARA are showing great affection for the show, so I personally think the two
will be filming it until the end of this month, which is the month 2NE1 will be wrapping up their album activities.

Like you have seen in 2NE1 TV before, the two members are of greatly unique characters, so they embarked on
the DOULBE PARK TV as they thought a non-formatted and customized show would suit them better than
regular TV variety shows.

As you have already seen in the sneak-peek intro video clip of DOUBLE PARK TV, the two idiosyncratic MCs
will be delivering you every tiny detail of what’s happening at YG.

Article: 2NE1 Knocks Out 7 iTunes Around the World in Just 24 Hours

2NE1 KNOCKS OUT 7 ITUNES AROUND THE WORLD IN JUST 24 HRS

ygonair_5685016692981345018

NE1’s new song ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ stood on top of 7 iTunes around the world in less than 24 hours after its release.

‘FALLING IN LOVE’, which was released on July 8 at 0 a.m., immediately rose to #1 on iTunes of Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Brunei and Hong Kong.

‘FALLING IN LOVE’ is still gradually penetrating the world – in Indonesia and Thailand it is currently ranked #3, while in Finland, Sweden and Macau, it is within rank #20. The phenomenal performance of 2NE1 is even more special as it was accomplished in less than 24 hours of the release.

2NE1 has already proved themselves the ‘high class’ powerful girl group when the new song swept across 9 Korean music charts instantly after its release.

The reggae song ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ is 2NE1’s first attempt at this genre, each member transforming themselves into summery looks. Their last big hit ‘I LOVE YOU’, which was a trot-style (the oldest form of Korean pop music) song, is followed by the newly released ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ – writing another success story for the group.

Meanwhile, 2NE1 is preparing for their first comeback performance of ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ on Mnet’s M Countdown for July 11.

Official: 2NE1 Mentioned in YG’s “From YG: NEWS ABOUT ‘G-DRAGON AND TAEYANG” on YG-Life

Oh wow! So YG is indeed planning to have the girls appear in more shows! I cannot wait for this! I want to see them in more and more shows, heck, I just want to see them! Kekekeke! A lot of our followers want the girls on Running Man! If you could decide on which show 2NE1 would first appear in as a group, which one would it be? ^^ Leave your answers on the comments section below! ❤

2NE1 mention in YG’s “From YG: NEWS ABOUT ‘G-DRAGON AND TAEYANG” on YG-Life

So there are no changes in YG’s once-a-week appearance on TV music program?

 Was it 4 years ago that we announced it for the first time? I think it was, when 2NE1 made their debut around that time. When they made a debut we announced that YG artists would make an appearance on TV music program once a week. And for the last 4 years, the plan helped our artists carry out activities both home and abroad, which led to the increase in the number of international fans and the scale of our overseas market. On the other hand, we feel regretful that our Korean fans have a lot less opportunity to see the artists now.

We are sorry that our Korean fans did not have many chances to see BIGBANG who were on a World Tour for a long time after releasing a mini album at the beginning of last year, and also 2NE1 who left Korea for World Tour after releasing just one song “I Love You” last July.

 So taking everything into consideration, we may come up with a new promotional method that is more suitable for us, rather than continuing the once-a-week appearance plan.

 From the beginning of July, 2NE1 will be seen a lot more often on TV when they release “Falling in Love”. We will be having some in-depth discussion with our artists about appearing on variety shows, which is something we were holding back until now.

YG-LIFE: Who Will Make a Comeback on May 28? 2NE1 or CL – Fans Welcome Either

WHO WILL MAKE A COMEBACK ON MAY 28? 2NE1 OR CL – FANS WELCOMES EITHER

Untitled-1s

YG Entertainment has recently announced that the artist who is to make their comeback on May 28 will either be 2NE1 or CL. Now all eyes are on the two possibilities.

On May 13 at 2p.m., on its official blog, the Entertainment agency has posted a teaser image of the artist making a comeback on May 28. Fans were excited to see 2NE1 and CL’s names highlighted in the image.

Whether it be 2NE1 or CL, the public is happy with the news. Fans are patiently waiting for 2NE1 as they have not released any new songs for the last one year, after their digital single “I Love You” last year.

But if CL makes a comeback, that would be her first solo debut. This is exciting news for the fans. Bom and Dara were the only members who have also released their solos in 2NE1, and the fans have not yet seen CL, the leader, release her very own song.

2NE1 was the first Korean girl group to hold a world tour, and it was a huge success. Since their global concert, 2NE1 joined in on other artists’ concerts as a guest artist. Those occasional appearances quenched the thirst of their fans.

In April they were on stage with the global star Psy for his exclusive concert, and around the same time were also at G-Dragon’s concert for a remarkable performance. The most special was when the group performed with the American hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg on May 4 for a joint performance.

Whenever 2NE1 is on stage the venue fills with excitement and enthusiasm. This is no wonder that the fans have always been waiting for their comeback.

To console the waiting fans, 2NE1 had repeatedly told them that the group “will release a new album.” And they would always add, “Please stay tuned!”

Their words show that it will highly likely be 2NE1 making a comeback on 28. The hint is, if you add all the numbers in May (5) 28, 2013, it equals 21. It was a unique hint borne by the brains of YG Entertainment.

Apart from 2NE1 and CL, there are artists lined up to make a comeback from YG. Personnel from the Entertainment said, “starting from May 28 until the second half of this year, there will be scores of YG artist making comebacks. Along with our CEO Yang Hyun-suk, the artists and staff members are putting concerted effort into preparation.” Now the expectations of the fans will only go higher.

News: ‘YG-Life’ blog updates fans on 2NE1’s new mini-album + concert

On June 15th, CEO Yang Hyun Suk updated YG Entertainment’s ‘YG-Life‘ blog with some new info about 2NE1’s new mini-album, as well as their first solo concert.

The post reads:

“June 24th will see the release of the digital single, <I’m the Best>.

First of all, I would like to apologize for the delayed releases of 2NE1’s new songs due to internal problems. Following behind ‘Don’t Cry‘ and ‘Lonely‘ will be 2NE1’s newest track, ‘I’m the Best’, which is scheduled for June 24th.

The song was produced by YG’s main producer, Teddy, and is an electronic hip hop track that’s reminiscent of 2NE1’s debut song, ‘Fire‘. The style of the song will definitely be familiar to the youth who are used to clubbing culture.

Unlike the previous two songs, we do have plans of promoting this one on music programs. It will be the first time in nine months that the girls will promote actively on air after they concluded their first album promotions last year.

The music video for the song was directed by Seo Hyun Seung and will be released at 12:00 AM KST on the 24th concurrently with the digital single.

Our current date of release for 2NE1’s mini-album is July 21st.  It will include the three releases, as well as two new tracks. Because it is an album that we have been working on for a long time, we have a lot of things planned.  Further information will be updated at a later time.

–

On August 27th and 28th, 2NE1 will be holding their first solo concert at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park.  The hall can seat 4,000 people per concert.  Although it isn’t a big concert compared to other YG concerts, we wanted to make sure that 2NE1 would be able to work closely with their fans since it’s their first concert.

Tickets will be available for sale on July 7th, and further information will be posted on YG and 2NE1’s homepages next week.

Regarding ‘2NE1 Season 3‘, the broadcast date has yet to be finalized.  ‘YG ON AIR‘ will continue to be broadcast in a guerrilla fashion, where we film whenever we have good ideas.

2NE1 will be crossing over to Japan in September after their Korean promotions for about two months of debut and promotional activities.

We ask that you give 2NE1 your anticipation and support, and I promise to return with more details regarding their album.  Thank you.

FROM YG.”
