[Exclusive] YG & 2NE1 stick to “prioritizing quality stage”
[일간스포츠 엄동진] Top girl group 2NE1 has no plan on appearing on TV “mindlessly.”
The quartet made their comeback on SBS’s Inkigayo on March 9. They impressed the fans and the entertainment world with “COME BACK HOME” and “CRUSH.” For an album to sell steadily, artists must make continuous TV appearance. But YG and 2NE1 decided to go with “select and concentrate” strategy. They are sticking to their principle that it is inevitable to “let go” of some programs in order to deliver quality outfits and performances.
Related personnel of the music industry said, “It’s highly likely that 2NE1 will only appear on SBS’s Inkigayo and Mnet’s M Countdown.” In fact, 2NE1 is scheduled to appear only on the two shows out of all from March 11 to 16.
The personnel added, “This is not about the relationship between KBS and YG. G-DRAGON appeared on KBS 2TV’s Yoo Heeyeol’s Sketchbook, so there is always room for 2NE1 to do so.” 2NE1’s new album “CRUSH” stood at #61 on Billboard Album Chart on March 5 (local time), gaining much popularity. Billboard extolled the title “COME BACK HOME” by saying that it is an explosive result of a crossover of different music genres. 2NE1, after appearing on the scheduled shows, will move on to perform for 2nd World Tour.
