Thank you so much for posting this!! <3 :love

new JPN single listed, out 2012.10.24 in CD and way over priced +DVD edition as usual. hope we end up with more then one song this time.

@kakumei For the most part I've just been ignoring their Japan singles. Only one they've had that hasn't been a "remake" of a Korean song already out was "Scream" so far.

@Queen_Bee Welcome to the Blackjack-hood. :D :P

Welcome to the Blackjack nation :D

I rarely watch TV, but I spazzed out when I saw 2NE1 for their Adidas commercial *_*

Sadly since that commercial's been out a while they've rolled out the shorter one, and 2NE1 is cut from it.

Hey know its a little random and late, but did anyone else notice Minzy's yellow flower tiger cub shoes in the new Addidas CM!!? They're SOO Awesome & Adorable!!

^they are really cute, when i watch the Adidas CM i don't see their shoes, XD

^The pic's behind the spoiler. :P

Since news about our girls is so sparse considering they're on tour, here is an interview that they did with MTV Iggy (it's subbed, yaaay!):

http://www.mtviggy.com/videos/breaki...global-tour-2/

----------

Also here is a chance to win a signed copy of their second mini album:

http://www.mtvk.com/2ne1-album-giveaway/

^I don't like the idea of places or people giving out signed copies. I think the true value, excitement and love of having something autographed is actually meeting them and getting it from them yourself. :)

Also nice interview. Just there are plenty of updates on facebook of what they've been up to lately. :)

it's already september, I need new releases to come out soon :D

^Well they said new album in October. Don't know wjhat promotion they have planned.

I know, I follow them on Facebook too, but for the most part they aren't really doing anything other than touring and giving interviews.

Since it was MTV Iggy, I figured I'd at least post this one here.

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

We probably won't hear anything new from them until they've completed their last stop in Japan on the tour, is my guess. That's 3 days away.

I need their Korean releases, as much as I love them & BIG BANG, I just don't care about that worldwide thing or US market that much

I'm looking forward to some international releases and a US Market release for 2NE1. However, I'm not expecting it all that soon. Only thing I'm ignoring is all the Japanese remakes of Korean songs.

Apparently they aren't releasing a korean album this year :(. Only a japanese single in october? I think.

^ what a bummer :(

I realllly am looking forward to US music... kpop is slowly gaining momentum here. Especially with gangnam style going viral but not breaking into radioplay

I LOVE YOU (Japanese Version) will be released soon :/ (19th I think)

This. :yes I'm kinda tired of them remaking every song in Japanese....


:scry I want some new Korean music.

What? Where did you hear this? News I heard said they had a new album coming out next month. And that news came directly from YG.

2NE1 will be releasing a new songs in November!

I.CANNOT.WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope they wont delay it anymore...
I guess that's the reason why Singapore's New Evolution tour is 1st Dec ^_^

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!

I'm excited for their comeback!

The delays are killing me :thud...i understand the reason for them but ugh.

According to LeeLeeNeko at JPC, 2NE1 is supposed to be releasing a Japanese single on the 24th of this month.

Maybe it was cancelled like BIG BANG's single

I don't see the point in releasing japanese singles and not promoting them.

I don't care what language it is but as long as it's new material ^.^

^ Yeah I'm kind of on the same page lol. At this point, I just want something fresh.

I havent even found "Take The World On" and that was supposed to be out forever ago. I just plain stopped caring until they release something.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but 2NE1 is on the cover for the 12th issue of FAULT magazine! You can see the behind the scenes video here: http://vimeo.com/51216091#

CL looks so amazing O: Especially in that corset with that hair, OMG. <3

^CL looks so awesome :heart I love her hair!

CL & Dara look stunning...Bom looks um...strange.

First person I saw was cl.
So damn fierce!
I love bom but cl takes it away.

Damn that pic is FIRE! they all look amazing, even though i absolutely hate that hair on Minzy. But i'll let it pass.

^agreed :yes

I wish they gave minzy nicer hair..LOLLLL..her best look was...Go Away/Don't Stop The Music era?

that pic is fierce and hot and edgy and hi-fashion..LUV IT!
DARA <3

the scans of flaunt are avaliable online
all I can say is that CL is a true leader, so charismatic & inspirational in everything, she is truly beautiful to me, and just fierce in everything

Minzy's hair is not bad. I think is regular hair.

I agree with Minzy's hair, she's looks so stunning with long hair like in Can't Nobody:
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg...iksao1_500.png

I think she either chooses short hair or they give her short hair for the more 'badass' look, but she looks amazing with long hair. My favourite short haired look on her was in the Japanese PV of 'Go Away:

http://images5.fanpop.com/image/poll...6429_full.jpg0 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Eov3ivXWB9...s640/Minzy.jpg

She's looks awesome with a styled bob like that, too. I think those look so much better than just a straight bob or worse, flicked out bob (shudder) on her. :) I can't stand the flicked out bob on Minz D:

This is random but does anyone know where I can find high definition pictures/screen shots of 2NE1 (specifically Bom) aside from their official website?

2NE1 SURPRISE LIVE IN SINGAPORE
dont blame the quality because it was live streamed in that quality
and i have no idea why they had to sing I Don't Care twice.. =.=
Singaporean blackjack here btw ><

FIRST: Bom has shoulder length hair now
SECOND: Minzy and the purple longer-version-of-pixie cut ><

Bommie why did you cut your beautiful long hair? :(

Bom looks so good with shorter hair! :) It makes her look younger, and shoulder length hair is very in right now.

I thought they were supposed to have a comeback this month :shrug

i'm wondering.
did Minji go even shorter with her hair? o-o
these are pics from Singapore.

Bom looks so good with shoulder length hair!

I don't like Minzy's hair... sorry.

Where's the news about the comeback! :(

& I'm liking Bom's short hair :D!

now that hair on minzy's is UGLY!!

I miss Bommie's hair but she looks cuuuute

I love her hair! ^_^ So pretty.

I hate short on Bom, she's the babydoll, but now she looks usual :(
but Minzy looks good, imo :)

I like the shorter hair on bom, actually! Although I do wish they gave minzy longer hair, now it's even shorter. D: Long hair in that purple would look amazeballs.

Also yeah, their comeback this month, want nao. D:

I think they should have given minzy an asymmetrical bob instead...with purple highlights or something

:yes I think about anything would've been better than this...

I feel like they haven't released anything in a while. It's time for a new single/album!

A woman named Ellen Kim on Twitter stated that she was working on 2NE1's new music video but deleted the tweet shortly after posting it:

I'm not sure of the source of this picture but it's being speculated that it's for a Jeremy Scott advertisement.

I saw 2NE1 live at the SBS K-Pop Super Concert yesterday and, oh my gosh, they were BY FAR the best act there. They are amazing, amazing, amazing live. They really command the stage and all of them have so much energy and charisma. GUH, I loved their performances so much. They performed Fire, Can't Nobody, I Am The Best, and I Love You. I want to see them live again so badly. :heart I hope their comeback is really soon.

AHHH MV means new song is coming soon :D

Really hoping for a new MV and song :heart

Dead god at those clothes. I thought they were over them

The photo of the girls with Jeremy Scott is for an advertisement.

lmao they look so tacky, but I must admit JC shoes are amazing.

I bet you look flawless.

thank you lots ^.^

2NE1 > everything Kpop based ever, lbr. I NEED MORE OF THEIR STUFF 8C

I'm starting to lose hope that they'll even release anything before the end of the year :thud

They've kept promising "next month" for like 6 months in a row :headache.

there is still that english album right?

I have a feeling new release will be only in 2013. I think, January

According to 2NE1's Official Facebook page, the 2012 2NE1 Global Tour Live CD [New Evolution in Seoul] will be released on December 4th!

OMG Announce new material!!!

this like a recording of their live?

Why are they releasing that while the tour is still going on?
Seriously I want the european dates, it gets a bit ridicioulos. -_-

Gosh I love my girls so happy that new material is coming !

Oh great, a new live album :rolleyes

Thanks, YG...

^I share the sentiment. Like....wtf YG?

Everyone was prepared for a comeback in July and now - nearly 5 months later - we have nothing.

Like YG is basically screwing them over right now. It's no wonder they didn't win on any of the music shows this year.

I'm not gonna lie, I haven't even been following them lately cause there's been nothing to follow.

[/rant]

Alright, I mostly just miss them/want new material.

I will say this though....CL looked FIERCE at Jeremy Scott's Hong Kong party:

http://i.imgur.com/FRIme.jpg

^This so much.

I kinda agree and I also feel like this about bigbang too. I've been waiting for new stuff for so long that I've started to focus more on other artists. I understand that they're on tour but I hope that YG starts to get serious again with them..

They coming to Singapore in 2 days time :)
i was hoping they actually released a new song like YG promised but guess not...

I don't think that YG doesn't take them seriously, and I don't think that they stopped caring, I just think that they're creating less interest for them in Korea right now, which is what I meant by "screwing them over".

Two of my friends are living in Korea right now and even they were telling me that it seems like 2NE1 has kind of faded from the spotlight. I know I have to take this with a grain of salt, because I don't live there myself, but when I heard that I was disappointed.

After the stellar year they had in 2011, it was just upsetting to see them lose on every music program so far this year with "I Love You". I was hoping for another round of kick-butt promotions and new singles. They slaughtered the competition in 2011.

I think I just get frustrated because I'm a YG-stan so when there's no new music, I have no other Korean artists to spaz over lol. I know I should probably expand my interests - and I've tried - but no other artists cut it for me but Big Bang/2NE1 out of K-Pop.

I'm definitely glad they're on a global tour right now, good for them, I'm just jealous that I was unable to see them live so I'm kind of disinterested in it.

Yeah, exactly. I've felt the same way about Big Bang too, but at least with them they had a 2012 release and then GD released his mini-album not too long ago.

I understand it a bit more with Big Bang because I know that Seungri was in Japan doing the variety show/anime/drama thing, Youngbae is recording his new album, Top is filming that Korean drama, and GD has his solo promos or w/e, so they're incredibly busy.

I still miss them though. :(

they need a rest maybe there hasn't been anything new because of that.

^I'm all about giving artists rests. Lord knows I've been patient with Utada.

I think it's mostly the fact that YG has been creating a lot of hype for new singles and nothing has come of it but 'push-back' dates.

If they're trying to give 2NE1 a rest, just come out and say it and that'll be fine. At least then I can stop the heart palpitations that occur every time I think new material is coming but then it gets pushed back.

I think my biggest frustration is the fact that YG keeps saying that they're coming back, and then it never happens. So now it's getting to the point where they've almost completely lost any momentum they could've had with I Love You (and, if I recall correctly, weren't even the promotions for ILY cut short?)

I hope we get some new material soon...

There's no doubt that they lost the momentum of I Love You-- that song came out five months ago. It's hardly relevant anymore. I just really don't understand what YG is doing... :shakehead 2NE1 is head and shoulders above a lot of girl groups out there yet they market/manage them poorly, imho.

I've forgotten about the girls for now, focussing on other artists. I still love them all the same though.

:yes they've definitely lost momentum with I Love You. And yup, the promotions were pretty short (I don't know if they cut them on purpose, but promotions for their other singles were definitely longer).

And that aside, YG coming out with that statement that the girls no longer wanted to do variety shows didn't help them I'm sure. They could have used those shows for extra promotion, and I'm sure a lot of those programs weren't too happy about that.


Yeah I haven't even played I Love You for like 2 months now haha. Without a follow-up single, the song is somewhat forgettable. I still love it, but I don't think it had the impact ability that I Am The Best did.

I mean luckily my Japanese artists have stuff going on to tide me over, but I was really looking forward to new stuff from 2NE1 cause I got really hyped up about them during I Love You and now I'm kind of disinterested in them (though I still love them a lot).

That'll probably change as soon as their next release happens, though. :D


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

I mean....even YG Ladies has essentially been posting nothing but news about Minji's cell phone drawings (which are really good) and the girls' twitter conversations.

i think this is at the press conf of the Singapore Tour :)
if the leader says it, I think its credible then

whatever happened to that english album:(

There are a lot of things they have promised...so we'll see about this.

I hope they might say SOMETHING at tonight's concert in Singapore!!! :)
3 more hours to go ^^ im so excited!!

I URGE EVERY 2NE1 FAN WHO HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO FOR THIS CONCERT
OMG IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD FROM A CONCERT!!!!!!!!!

the atmosphere was superb right from the start and it never died even till the last song. I felt it was too short :( The girls were superb. CL is truly BORN to perform. Minzy had an amazing solo dance break. Bom's vocals in It Hurts touched me so much. Dara was so sultry in her Kiss performance. THEY WERE SUPERBBBB I have no other words except Perfect. I was at the last row on the middle section and that never got me down at all. The energy and sound was incredible and the LIVE BAND OMG. LIVE BAND. That's SO rare in a K-pop concert seriously.

OH one thing...I TOTALLY gonna download that LIVE album because I was so mindblown with EVERY SINGLE TRACK they sang, it was all remixed and had the live band. One particular song that stood for me was SCREAM. Whoa that song is INSANE live. Heavy rock accompaniment and CL just kept tellling us to SCREAMMMMMM it was just HIGH. Every song was amazing. Im so happy to have seen In The Club and Stay Together live too, being a blackjack since their debut. :') suffering from heavy withdrawal symptoms now >< I'm glad I didnt pass on this one just because of my exam HAHA

gosh, you are so lucky T__T
I'm gonna have to wait for the DVD :(

and thanks for the fanaccount ^_^

Some Fancams of the Singapore stop:
not by me

I AM THE BEST + FIRE (Remix)


Clap Your Hands (Remix) + I Don't Care (Reggae Ver.) + Don't Stop The Music


It Hurts + Lonely


Scream (MY FAV OF THE NIGHT)


Go Away + Can't Nobody

honeslty, YG has given a lot of promises about every artist it has

Tae Yang off BB was to release his solo in September, but then in November. it's 3th of Dec today, okay
2NE1 were to release new album in September then in November again. and then, they even didn't attend the MAMA awards.
and wasn't Seungri off BB to have his own Japanese show?

While i agree with you that YG always has all these false promises and delays, about MAMA, thats because they had commitments in Singapore. I dont think YG promised that they would be on MAMA and besides, MAMA is a show whereby artistes turn up only if they win (or some say, turn up TO win). They definitely werent the hottest female grp in Korea this year.

Yeah, but VIPs knew Taeyang's single wouldn't happen so soon. 2NE1's album was a disappointment though, I was really expecting it in november 'cause there was a rumor about filming a MV...
And Seungri actually had his show in japan, it's called "Seung-chan's Complete Victory Declaration", i think it had 12 episodes, bbvipchannel is gonna sub it.
