2NE1 HEARD ON A POPULAR AMERICAN RADIO STATION!

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE ->>
Our girls our getting more popular as time goes by,, I wish they'll enjoy their lives to the fullest..
--------------------------------------------------------------------





There have been a lot of tips coming from the Chicago area that there has been a 2NE1 song, the “Can’t Nobody” Eglish version, that they’ve been hearing on the popular radio station 103.5 KISS FM!
This is a pretty big accomplishment if this is indeed true, but I don’t really see why people would lie about this. Although this is a big accomplishment for 2NE1, they aren’t the first Kpop group to have had a song play in America as TVXQ’s “Break Out” was played on New York’s Hit Music Station, Z100 back on February 2010.
Isn't it great?!!

Se7en, "I am proud of Big Bang and 2NE1, who are my motivation"

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE ->>

Se7en is proud of the groups which can represent the Republic of Korea, Big Bang and 2NE1. He also regards them as his motivation and in this interview, his special affection towards these groups is shown.

Enews has recently conducted an interview with Se7en, he said, "the development of Big Bang and 2NE1 is good, they are the groups that I like very much. I am really proud of these friends." As one of the representative singers of YG Entertainment, Se7en is a witness of the growth of his juniors, Big Bang and 2NE1.

He continued, "In fact, I am glad that Big Bang and 2NE1 are my juniors and I like them. I always bear them in mind. If my favorite brothers and sisters come back but something bad happens to them, I will be very sad. I hope more good things can happen to them. Now, these friends have climbed to the top spots of the showbiz. Thanks for this, I always prepare myself well because I need to work harder in order to show that I am a great brother to them."

He concluded, "It can be said that I failed in doing my activities in America; however, it was also an opportunity for me to learn how to be self-independent and responsible. I have become more matured during this period of time so now, I am a little bit more proud when being with my juniors. For Big Bang and 2NE1, it seems that I am their hyung."

Meanwhile, Se7en has come back with the title song, 'When I Can't Sing' written by Park Jin Young (composed the lyrics and melody) and has started his promotional activities again. The song has topped various music charts and gained popularity shortly after it has been released.

15th anniversary YG Family Concert is an enormous success!

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE ->>
Celebrating their 15th anniversary, YG Entertainment continues to see enormous success with their ‘YG Family Concerts’, the latest concert in Osaka, Japan, drawing 80,000 fans to a one-of-a-kind concert featuring some of the biggest names in K-Pop.

With artists such as Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en, Gummy, Tablo, PSY, and Jinusean, YG artists celebrated for two straight days at the Osaka Kyocera Dome on the 7th and 8th of January.

2NE1 kicked off the energetic night with their debut track, “FIRE“, and Big Bang took to the stage soon after, drawing immense cheer from the crowd.

Se7en continued the festivities, and sang the Japanese versions of his songs “Better Together” and “Somebody Else“, the title track for his Japanese mini-album, which is scheduled for release on the 18th.

As recent inductees to the YG Family, Tablo and PSY also provided solid performances, and PSY‘s trademark wit was in full effect as he dressed up as “Lady Psy Psy” and “Psyonce“, parodying the popular American artists.

Next came Gummy, on the heels of her first Japanese album, and Jinusean followed soon after with “Phone Number” and “A-YO“.

As for special stages, Big Bang‘s Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri collaborated with Se7en to perform 2NE1‘s “Lonely” and “It Hurts“, and Gummy, Taeyang, and Park Bom made a special appearance on Tablo’s stage.

Altogether, 41 songs were performed at the YG Family Concert, and the energy never let up during the entire three-and-a-half hour long concert.

YG Entertainment is scheduled to take their family concert to the Saitama Super Arena on January 21st and 22nd.

Dal Shabet selects 2NE1 & Lee Hyori as their role models!

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE ->>
Our girls deserves to be role models.... Don't they?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Girl group Dal Shabet selected singer Lee Hyori and fellow girl group 2NE1 as their role models.

The members revealed their Kyunggi-do “Hit U” MV film site on the 6th, and met with a few reporters to answer a few questions.

Dal Shabet member Viki was asked which girl group she were jealous of, and she responded, “I respect Lee Hyori. I envy everything about her. Her song “U Go Girl” is my absolute favorite.”

“She’s cute, bubbly, and sexy all at the same time, and I’m envious of her performances,” she continued.

Fellow member Jiyul remarked, “My main priority when I stand on stage is perfecting the dance moves that we learned. But the 2NE1 members really know how to enjoy themselves on stage, and it’s so refreshing to see. I would like to not be so concerned with my dance routine and instead focus on enjoying the stage with the audience members.”

When asked what made Dal Shabet uniquely sexy, member Serri confidently answered, “I think just instinct. We tend to naturally reveal our own innate appeals and charms.”

Different from the bubbly and cute image the girls have had until now, the members were dressed in sexier outfits to bring out the ‘femme fatale’ within for their “Hit U” MV. “Hit U” is a song from their fourth mini-album and it encompasses both hip hop and rock. As always, the girls showcase their powerful vocals and their sincere attitude towards their music. Dal Shabet will be making their comeback performance on January 26th.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in 2009, it was reported that famous song producer and Black Eyed Peas member, Will.I.Am would be producing a U.S debut album for Korean hip-hop girl group, 2NE1.  Afterwards, there has been huge anticipation for their collaboration and new album.  Will.I.Am’s recent tweet has boosted the buzz surrounding this particular topic.
On January 7th, the U.S entertainer tweeted, “2NE1 is coming out crazy“.
In 2011, Will.I.Am showed great interest in 2NE1 as he complimented and met with them several times throughout the year.  Back in May, the producer visited Korea and met with YG‘s CEO Yang Hyun Suk and YG’s main producer, Teddy to hold discussions on 2NE1′s U.S debut album.
In addition, Will.I.Am revealed, “We are carefully working to turn 2NE1 into superstars not only in Korea, but everywhere in the world” through an interview with Cambio.
2NE1′s CL and Will.I.Am also collaborated on stage in the ‘2011 MAMA‘ back in late November.
Will.I.Am’s latest tweet can be taken as a sign that there will most likely be a U.S album release in 2012.

[STYLE FILE] Park Sisters at 2011 SBS Gayo Daejun

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE ->>






The stunning Dara was wearing a Jonathan Saunders Long Sleeve Devore Burn Out Mini Dress (Retail $673) she accessorized that with Chrome Hearts jewelry and Christian Louboutin booties (Retail $781) we have seen her in on several other occasions. Fans were also especially happy to see her hair down, long and flowing, which is a rarity these days.

Jonathan Saunders is a Scottish fashion designer, known for his work with prints and use of traditional silk screening techniques. He is known for he genius work in color, but still can make an interesting "little black dress". Celebrities who have worn his designs include Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Sienna Miller,and Michelle Obama. 
Looks like Dara was in great company.

No surprise that Bom was also wearing Christian Louboutin's she seems to adore their Very Prive heels and has worn them often. What was shocking, was her dress, a long flowing velvet gown by Rick Owens. The sleeveless draped maxi dress retails for $1,250 at net-a-port and features a crossover detail at the back and a draped neckline. 2NE1 is no stranger to the brand, they wore a ton of RIck Owens back during the YG On Air days. However, seeing Bom with her legs covered in so much material was certainly a red carpet surprise for Blackjacks.

The big question, did it work? Although we were fond of the dress, it appeared slightly too big on Bom and dragged along the floor rather than "flowed" as the dress was intended. We also weren't particularly fond of the fur collar it overwhelmed Bom's gorgeous neckline and face. Overall, we liked the dress, just not necessarily the styling.

What about you, did you love the Park Sisters look?

K-Pop Superstars 2NE1 Take Over Times Square

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE ->>




"We were worrying," CL says. "What if a lot of fans won't show up?" Lee Chae-rin of Korean hip-pop girl crew 2NE1 shared an honest moment with SPIN just moments after the group stormed the stage at New York's Best Buy Theater early Monday night. Their brief headlining performance was their first on U.S. soil as well as part of MTV Iggy's Best New Band blowout, the finish line to an online contest in which they were top vote-getters. Much of that success came on the strength of the group's fervent (and extraordinarily web-savvy) fanbase, who often refer to themselves collectively as Blackjacks. Those Blackjacks in this particular corner of the globe came to Times Square in numbers — so many, in fact, that the worrying seems curious in retrospect. With Times Square having morphed into even more of outdoor mall over the past two years, the excitement surrounding the show added a tiny bit of chaos to the calm.


But underground, deep inside the theater, the feeling was far less muted. Three tiers of glow band-bedecked fans were in position, eager to finally catch a glimpse of the girls in person. Mothers, daughters, sons, fathers, the works. And every runner-up performer that preceded them — be it Malaysian lawyer/boutique owner/Nirvana-covering singer-songwriter Yuna or Jamaican lover's rock lothario (arguably the guy behind last year's Song of the Summer) Gyptian — felt like just one more hurdle in between.


Every interstitial breather, every baffling Matt Pinfield-ism and Sway-ism, every interview segment with anyone but 2NE1, brought on more sighing and fidgeting in seats. But then there they were, down on the street outside, just saying hello to us before they made the same trip downstairs that we did. Cameras followed them all the way to sidestage. The room jittered and heaved. Clusters of digital cameras began bobbing up and down from front to back, ready for the moment they'd finally step into view. And then they did.


Four hits (save for "Ugly", an unfortunate omission) and they were done. They came, they dance, they conquered, they even received crowns. We screamed. Waiting for the way out to clear, three Montclair State students facing a trip back to Jersey caught their breath for a second. "
That was so emotionally draining," Elene Badillo, 20, gasped. Adrianna Andino, also 20, had no words. Her hair was done up in one elongated, cherry stem-like extension just like Dara's, her eyes were glazed over. She nodded in agreement.
