YG almost rarely keep to the 3 weeks apart thing though. The next single should be out on 26th but we havent have any information. I LOVE YOU is honestly doing really well so maybe they miay promote it longer?

and its 3 weeks because...21 days :)

Gosh I'm so eager to have new songs ^^

... Yeaaaaaaaahhhh... Except, buying each single supports the artist and it's only $2-$3 that I would otherwise spend on an ice-cream so I think it's best to actually show support for them and buy the singles :)

go ahead if u want. was only a random suggestion.
Personaly, I just never buy from itunes since i dont have it and dont like Apple. Had some real bad experiences. plus i dont buy singles as to save cash. Those few dollars do add up from saving on tons of things. It even added up enough for me to have the extra change to afford to go to their concert, which is costing me a lot to get down to the US next month. :D

I feel their promo is quite weak this time comparing to last album and new BIG BANG releases. maybe because they want to grasp both Korea, Japan & USA at one time. it might do only harm. I'd rather they stayed focused on one thing. because now I feel I do miss them

New Live! Idk, I think CL sounds tired. I hope she takes good care of her voice

yeah she does. that's the leader, her & GD are always too much into everything :)

WOWZA, look at Dara's hair! :D hahaha. I think it's a synthetic attachment. It would be cool if they kept changing the colour for each performance, haha. CL voice does seem a bit drained, she looks gorgeous though. I adore her outfit and hair. :D

Thanks for posting today's performance! I haven't been keeping up with them too much so I'm trying to play catch up, lol. Anyways, I hope they release the English and Japanese versions of the song soon as they should be promoting another song soon.

According to what I've read on various sites as well as the google translation of the description on YesAsia, it's supposed to be an international edition so everything should be written in Korean, Japanese, and English. I preordered my copy today and can't wait to receive it!

*does happy dance* :D :D :D Awesome!! ^^

Are they winning something ?

^With no physical sales, it's harder to win against artiste who sell albums. based on that score thing

^I think it's somekind of "wig" ^^

Yea im sure it is! LOL..if not..YG artists must have really bad hair..

bunch of the 2ne1 goods for the tour are announced. I found some here

OMG THAT Heartbag. I want one! ♥

^was half in Korean but i think they said they'll put em up for online sale on the 28th when they do their first concert of the tour in Seoul, Korea.

TSHIRT. need it. O_O
and super awesome about them being mentioned on CNN!

And More NEWS!!!!!!!!!

2NE1's "I AM THE BEST" Becomes 1st K-pop Song Used In "Dance Central" Video Game Series
http://www.jpopasia.com/news/2ne1s-i...es::11768.html

I need the t shirt!!!! O_O
I wonder when it'll be released? Tour?


huh...... Dance Central 3! too bad I don't have an xbox!

Theyre going on a world concert tour called "2012 New Evolution Global Tour". :D

I've already got tickets for their stop in Newark, NJ. :D
However, theres still many dates and locations still not yet announced. YG's promised more though. :D

Btw, i might be wrong, but wasnt the 2nd single supposed to come out on the 25th? That's this Wednesday.... I would've expected some teaser pics and clips by now....

Oh wow, I love that shirt and necklace!!

this was just uploaded to their official youtube channel. :D

those rainbow necklace and bracelet are so awesome

Maybe YG will all surprise us by releasing the single just "out of the blue"? :D

(Okay, I doubt it but I have to stay postive :laugh)

Hey bit random but i just got this new phone strap thingy today. ^^

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Girl/strap.png

Still no updates about the european tour dates?
Meh, I'm waiting, I wanna go!!

I'm just eager to hear something about another song :thud

They havent added anything yet. Hopefully soon. However, i dont think this tour will be anywhere near as massive in size as BIGBANG is having unfortunately. :(

same here, "I love you" is epic but it makes me wants moooooore. :thud

Seems like "I LOVE YOU" is their next Japanese single due to be out on September 19(?)

I thought they said it wouldnt be a Japanese language "remake" of a single already out....?

YG has announced that they've cancelled the release of the upcoming single and will be releasing an album in October due to their busy schedule with their upcoming world tour.

Preview of "I Love You (Japanese ver.) MV:



According to their official Japanese website, "I Love You" will be out on September 12th.

I still haven't listened to I LOVE YOU through. -.-

I'm sort of happy they scrapped the single since the tour is coming up so soon --- that's too much pressure for our girls!!

On a side note.. this thread only has 3 stars?

I'm just disappointed that we won't be seeing a new album for another two months :weep. I understand though & it's good to see YG taking the girls' well-being into consideration :yes.

With the singles thing they were doing before it probably would've been longer than that. Just we'd have a new song every few weeks. I actually like this better cause I wont have heard every song several times before the CD comes out. Gives my ears some new and refreshing material to listen to once my copy comes in the mail in October. :)

Really love the news of the new album. Hope its not just a mini. And...lol, once again YG didnt live up to the 3 week thing HAHHA

PLEASE NO MINI!! I dont want one either. They need another full album. Will be happy but cry too if its a mini.

YG does no bad :)

They still haven't shown European dates yet, have they? I want to know what date is it for London and where I can buy a ticket. I hope they are not too much :/

^Yea I'd like to know the dates too..

I'm little disappointed about album delay, but I think their wellbeing is most important and we blackjack's can wait a little longer for awesome music. Aye? ^^

U can see all the "New Evolution Tour" Goods here. Also it says something about ordering them but I'm confused (despite being in poor english) what theyre talking about.

http://www.ygfamily.com/artist/2ne1_...YPE=2&ARTIDX=4

Those goods look amazing!! I hope YA will get them in stock, I really want all the stationary items, the frame, towel and light stick. :luv2

^Theres a guy on ebay who has a few of the items u can "preorder" already. just a bit pricey... but i'm not sure the exchange rate between Koean Won & Canadian Dollars.

It's been pushed back twice now, it has to be a full album lol. And even if it is I hope it has more than 9 songs

OK. I want the black top and the heart bag seriously :luv2

I really like the Team shirt and the light stick. I wonder what the secret item is.

Well yeah that's true...I'd rather have an album packed with new songs :yes. Also, I didn't think about it being drawn out longer...ugh if that's the case then I'm happy with the way it is now.

The Stage of the 2NE1 "New Evolution Tour" from their first show night in Korea during the Encore. :D :D :D :D :D

^ So umm a diamond ring, lipstick and something creepy :D ?

^I think the white things are pearls..... red thing might be a tongue....

It just looked like a worm :laugh

2NE1 - I Love You (Japanese ver). MV (full)

ewww the lipstick looks weird

yay! thank you. :D

Found a fanaccount an tracklist!

Sounds really awesome
and totally different style that they had from before

^Sounds like so much fun! I wish I could go! :(

pics off the concert 1st day are already flooding the net

ahaha that looks weird

Most of it sounds fun. Just I hate they do that Rihanna song though. I hate "We Found Love"..... -_-

I liked the Japanese version but the second verse sounded a little odd to me...maybe Japanese being sung in staccato fashion just isn't my thing.

^I just find that I really don't like them singing in Japanese in general *shrug*

Just like I would probably find it weird if Utada or Ayu started singing in Korean, lol.

I find that out of any of the Asian languages I'm usually most sensitive about Japanese as I have a much further understanding of it than any of the others.

Like a Korean song could be saying stuff really bad and I wouldnt even flinch, but I'd catch on real quick with a song in Japanese.

Personally, I like "Scream", but I can hear a few flaws. I do enjoy 2NE1 singing in Korean more. Actually even their English is over all really good.

I think the stage looks really cool~ The slide is awesome :heart

The fan account seems kind of fake to me... I don't know why haha. I just can't imagine them doing half of the stuff that it says they did.

I LOVE YOU @ Inkigayo 07/29. :D



Dara is always my favorite in these performances. ^^

^Beat me to it :P

oh here's something random i found. CL doing a bunch of rapping in ENGLISH during the NOLZA concert in Japan. :D

Thank you for postingggg!!! :love

In terms of outfits, CL's was my favorite and Bom's was my least favorite.

In terms of hair, Dara's was my favorite, but she pretty much always has the most fierce hair this time around.

Andddd in terms of vocals, I thought this was definitely the second best so far. Their very first one on Inkigayo is still my favorite though.

Sorry for double-postage.

Behind the Scenes of the 'W Magazine' Photoshoot in Cannes:

^Dara looks absolutely STUNNINGGGGGGG!!! and those dorky sides of them ahhaha!!

2NE1 Photo Essay in Philippines:

i posted this in the last thread.
she's so confident! :D

Heres a bunch of photos from the tour first night!!! :D

I put most behind the 2 spoilers just to make it easier for people with less speedy internet. ;)

Something's wrong with youtube for me!! Everything's showing up as white block with a "!" in middle of acircle for me now!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...dianGirl/1.jpg

Dara looks like the cookie monster in that blue furry dress... :thud

Regardless, the girls look EPIC. I think I just don't understand Korean fashion, maybe... :innocent

Wow..its so amazing. Dara has that wild blue dress and Bom's gown-ish cosutme.
Jeremy Scott really is kinda cool HAHA

YG on Air / 2NE1 X Jung Sungha

I Love You acoustic
LONELY
Making of~

I Love You acoustic is truly beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
Dara's voice is so mellow and suited for acoustic music really. and she sings more than we expect!!

I thought I'd share this with you guys because it's a really cute fan moment:

2NE1's K-Fans decided to plan an event during the 7/29/12 concert to show 2NE1 their support as fans.

During 'Lonely' at the part where Minzy begins to sing [Eng Translation] "Even though you're beside me, baby I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely, (etc).."

The K-Fans at the concert all turned off their 2NE1 New Evolution light-up sticks and held up (and swayed) posters that read "There are Blackjacks beside you," in response to those lyrics.

This caused CL to cry, as you can see in this video:



So far, this is the only video, so we don't know what the other girls' reactions were, but if you listen closely, as soon as the swaying of the posters begins, Bom's voice cracks in emotion during the chorus.

At 1:30 in the video, CL says "I'm really happy," and is attemping to hold in tears.

Overall, I just thought this was really really sweet of their K-Fans, and wanted to share. : o )

Thats SOOOO sweet of them... :weep

awww! :) that's so sweet of them. i almost cried as well. :D

I need to be there. on the tour

Omg, CL NEVER cries! T__T

You know, thinking about it, why the hell is 2NE1 doing the tour now when the album's coming out in October? They should've just waited and used the concert to promote it. I honestly can't wait for their Korean album regardless, because... well, I wouldn't say that I'm getting sick of their current songs, but we do need new material, especially since COLLECTION was just Japanese versions of songs already released. I had heard that the girls are releasing the album in a series of singles; not sure how well that's gonna work in comparison to a regular album where one of the selling points is a few new songs in addition to singles... but we'll see.

Like they need the promotion. An their new album is coming out in October because they scraped the singles idea.

This is completely random.. But I was watching some TV the other day, I came across Nicki Minaj's new Adidas commerical and I saw 2NE1! <3 I thought it was interesting. ^^

guize check this out!

^ Wow that's not bad. It sounds pretty good :yes.

I must... see them LIVE.... !!

Not valid.

TEARS

God I love these girls so much. I'm sad that I can't go see them when they come to NJ, AND I missed them last year when they played NYC because I was at another show. 8|

New International Trailer for the New Evolution Tour! :D

thaanks!! hope they could come to brazil like bigbang this year *-*

Have they announced if they are coming to the UK, yet? I really don't want to miss them D: I assume that the tour will go out throughout next year too, and they'll be promoting their album in between?
