Hey all, I'm not sure if you heard about the 2NE1 fan art contest, but they did a fan art competition, and you can see 2NE1 holding the winner's work here:
BUT it's come to light that infact, that is not his work. HE STOLE IT. He stole it from a well known artist, Adriana Melo, and entered it in. He simply cropped out her signature, and submitted it as his own. And he won for it.
This is Adriana's original artwork on her official DA page (you can see her signature at the bottom):

And this is his submittal (where you can see the bottom is cropped):

This is her Tumblr post, where she expresses her disappointment:

He does not deserve that credit for winning, it is Adriana's artwork!!! I have already messaged 2NE1's official Facebook about it, but it would be great if you all could spread the world, so that maybe 2NE1 will get this message! He's not only made a fool out of Adriana but also 2NE1, by making them believe it was his! Please spread the word!!
