Can anyone stop 2NE1 from taking over the world?
[해리슨의 엔터~뷰 (Enter-View)] Many fans were excited to hear that South Korea’s top girl group 2NE1 and the officially debuted ex-contestant of Superstar K KANG SEUNG YOON will both appear on KBS’s Music Bank. For a while YG Entertainment’s artists were not seen on any of KBS’s channels, so their recent news on long-awaited KBS appearance must have quenched the thirst of many music fans.
Fans were especially waiting with much patience for 2NE1, as after their last summer’s big digital single hit ‘I LOVE YOU’, the group only focused on holding a world tour.
Fortunately, after CL’s (the leader of the group) successful solo debut, 2NE1 kicked off their return to the music market with the reggae-influenced ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ in summer 2013. They proudly moved on to sweep across music ranking programs like MBC’s Show! Music Center, SBS’s Inkigayo and Mnet’s M Countdown.
2NE1 also made an appearance on variety shows like ‘Hwashin’ and ‘Running Man,’ attempting a great transformation since they were only focused on music-related activities until now. Many viewed them as ‘unapproachable’ in the past, but now they have successfully metamorphosed into ‘clumsy but lovely and cute’ idols.
‘DO YOU LOVE ME’, which was released on August 7, ranked number 1 as soon as its music video and the song were released. 2NE1 is in the midst of unleashing their full potential.
Their latest song is a summer-targeted one with exciting and rhythmic beat to it. It will succeed 2NE1’s previous summer big hits ‘GO AWAY’ and ‘I AM THE BEST’. All eyes are on the girl group now as they are having their first national television performance on Music Bank for the first time in 3 long years.
2NE1 will also be returning to ‘Yoo Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook’ in 4 years, a program on which G-DRAGON and MINZY appeared on October 19 last year. This is nothing but exciting news to the fans.
We hope to see more of 2NE1 on different programs, after their long-awaited ‘field trip’ to KBS soon, and of course other YG’s musicians as well.
The sensational journey begins now for 2NE1 who is heating up the music world this summer.
