YG wants 2NE1 songs to be title tracks before release

2009-10-24T20:47:00.000-07:00

Yang Hyunsuk mentioned to Money Today Star News on the 23rd that, “In September, 2NE1 was planning on releasing their first full-length album in November after they finished their promotional activities for their first mini album.”

Continuing on he said, “But 2NE1’s debut single ‘Fire’ in May and ‘I Don’t Care’ both received massive amounts of love in an extent that we did not expect. So, we’re going to repay by putting in more effort and passion into their first mini album.”

Yang Hyunsuk also said, “We’re going to keep working on the songs in the first full-length album, so all the songs in the album will seem like a title track . Thus, we do not really know when we’ll be able to release 2NE1’s first full-length album, and depending on the circumstances, we might not even be able to release it by the end of this year.”

However for the fans that are waiting for 2NE1’s new songs, Yang Hyunsuk has decided to release Park Bom’s solo track first on the 28th. This song will also be in the full-length album.

Yang Hyunsuk said, “This is the first time Park Bom is releasing a solo song after she’s debuted as 2NE1 and she is the second person out of the four members to release a solo track after Sandara Park.”

Continuing on, “The title of Park Bom’s solo track that is being released as a digital single on the 28th is ‘You and I’, and it is a medium-tempo R&B slow song. We’ve filmed the music video recently at Daekwan Pass and many other places.”

And about the solo activities Yang Hyunsuk replied, “We have not decided on whether or not Park Bom’s going to do promotional activities for this song yet.”

** Title Track – Tracks that are of a better quality in terms of lyrics, beats & melody so as to appeal to a wider range of people which also means that it will be another hit song. Hope you get what i mean!

Bom’s single “You and I” (OCT. 28!)

2009-10-22T21:23:00.000-07:00

With a lot of buzz generated about 2NE1’s lead vocalist, Park Bom, making her solo debut, more information about that has been released by YG Entertainment!

It has been revealed that she will release her solo song called, “You and I” on the 28th. She will be the second member from 2NE1 to make a solo debut, with Sandara Park being the first, who released her hit single “Kiss.”

Park Bom’s song will be produced by none other than Teddy, who in the past has produced hit songs like “Lollipop,” “Fire,” “I Don’t Care,” and “Kiss.”

The song is about a vowing love for someone who has been supportive in the hard and struggling times. The song will reveal Park Bom’s strong voice, as it will be a R&B + hip-hop song – something that you don’t see quite often from solo female artists.

Park Bom will also show her charms through her music video, which was filmed by going all over different places in Seoul and was filmed early this week.

2NE1 is also currently working on their new album, and preparing for another strike on the music industry once again before the end of the year.

Stay tuned to the release of Park Bom’s single, “You and I” on October 28th!

Girl group 2NE1 went gangster for a fashion spread in the November issue of W Korea, according to the magazine.

Each member donned different gangster styles -- from Russian Mafia to Italian Mafia to Japanese motorcycle gangs -- for the shoot aimed at expressing the low-end fashion as high-end, explained W.

A W official on set said 2NE1 had to have tattoos drawn onto them for about four hours before actually going into shoot.

A video of the photo shoot will also be posted on W Korea's official website on October 26.

The four-member girl group, managed by Korean talent powerhouse YG Entertainment, has been a hit since their debut July with songs including "Fire" and "I Don't Care."

YG reduced the 2NE1 relationship ban to 3 years

2009-10-14T20:23:00.000-07:00

Bom and Dara must be celebrating by now. YG said it was sort of joke contract and willing to reduce Bom and Dara’s contract ban to three years.

I really didn’t get this part. so they have to wait three years before they date or they marry?

Minji and CL will not suffer even if their contract ban will last for 5 years.. Minji will only be 21 and CL will be 24 by that time. lol.

Well I think it’s okay because they’re not like men, they don’t need to serve their country for 2 years…

Now that made me think, how does Big Bang’s contract ban last?

and and YG answer is in top 10 most search on daum (thanks laani@soompi for the info)

2009-10-12T19:55:00.000-07:00

2NE1's Sandara Park and After School's UEE will be guests on an upcoming episode SBS's Family Outing.

They haven't even filmed their episode yet but their appearance has been confirmed after the show invited them on. Jang Hyuk Jae PD said, "The two of them will come on the show. We will film sometime in this October."

Sandara Park has only been on one variety show so far, Strong Heart / Kang Shim Jang, with her fellow 2NE1 members which will air tomorrow. This is the first time Dara gets to be on a variety show alone. UEE on the other hand has a lot of variety show experience including We Got Married, Star King and more.

It has been announced that a new side of Sandara will be shown. People are anticipating on what UEE and Sandara will bring to the show since this is the first time Family Outing has 2 women guests at the same time.

Who's excited for this episode? I know I am. UEE doesn't seem to be stopping her hard work anytime soon and Sandara and her crazy self with newly recovered DaeSung? There's more to look forward to than Kang Shim Jang!

Many thanks to lah for the tip.
