me too I think GQ shoots are kinda bad taste and bit vulgar, I mean I have nothing against it when Beyonce or RiRi do it, but somehow I want CL to be different from them

well, now girls are filming the title track movie called 'Fallin' In Love'

Whelpppp I hope I like the new song since we're only getting "one a month" and then a "mini album".

Yes I am SUPER pessimistic, not just about music, unfortunately, but in life too.

I just had such high expectations and then they all came crashing down over the past year.

It's probably why I branched out to other K-Pop artists.

^that's what I'm saying, I love kpop but instead of listening to 2NE1 I listen to other korean artists.



I found this website that says what brands cl wears in baddest female here
This shirt is awesome, I didn't know it was from the simpsons

[ILoveGeniuses]

I'm not a fan of kpop at all... but only other Korean artist that's been releasing stuff at all in a long time that I'm interested in is BoA.

As for 2NE1, I've been skeptical of them lately. They just keep disappointing me over and over a lot.

I did the same thing. I use to be pretty YG-biased, but they've been so disappointing I've moved on to other artists. It just shows how terrible their marketing has been recently.

I don't know what artists are you guys moving to 'cause all kpop is as crappy as it gets right now... :s

[jewelbox]

I'm into B.A.P right now but that's it.

I don't mind reggae from them, but it might be too risky genre for a comeback song.. Since there's been quite a long break for 2NE1 they really need to blow up people's minds.

CL, Dara & Lee Hyori on Incarnation!

Same. I would say 2NE1 definitely got me into K-Pop (although, BoA unknowingly got me into K-Pop a long time ago, if I'm being honest lol), but now I'm branching out.

Their marketing really has been terrible. Even G-Dragon, in some recent interview (can't remember the name), was like "Yeah, Big Bang needs to put out another full album because the last full album we've had was like 2-3 years ago."

I agree with that, I think they put out too many groups. Every time I blink, there's a new boy group or a new girl group coming out and it's just like......

In terms of other artists, I listen to a lot of JYJ, Big Bang, and Jay Park. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that these three artists compose their own music/lyrics/etc and is not as close to mainstream K-Pop.

Obviously Big Bang is the exception out of the three, but I think it's more of the fact that they're really popular and when they try something new, it just becomes more mainstream.

I'm not saying I listen to underground Korean artists or even Indie Korean artists, because none of the artists I listed are either.

And this totally sidetracks but....I was kind of surprised no one mentioned the fact that Shinee put out that 'Why So Serious?' song like a few months after G-Dragon had the 'Why so Serious?' phrase in 'Crayon.' Now I know GD didn't invent the phrase (obviously the Joker did), but I was still like "Really? No one on Allkpop made this connection when people on Allkpop are notorious for pointing these type of things out?"

Anyway....back on track......LOL sorry:

I guess I'm just kind of surprised that 2NE1 went from like badass, independent females with songs like "I Am the Best" and "I Hate You" and now it's like "I Love You", "Be Mine," and "Falling in Love."

I know they said they'd surprise us musically, but I didn't think they'd go from being all one theme to a totally different theme.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see when this song comes out 2 years from now.

Alright, alright, kidding....I swear.

[ILoveGeniuses]

I didn't like Baddest Female single, but I'm thinking of buying that CL Anklet anyways just cuz she's my favorite member and I only have one other type of anklet right now...
Can't make up my mind though....

*sighs* I hate decisions.... -_-

[Dream]

YG: "From the beginning of July, 2NE1 will be seen a lot more often on TV when they release “Falling in Love”. We will be having some in-depth discussion with our artists about appearing on variety shows, which is something we were holding back until now."

I'll believe it when I see it, tbh.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Same here. -_-

However, I'd prefer to see em more on normal talk shows and such where they get to be interviewed and so forth yet be themselves completely.

[adantatu2]

Imagine 2NE1 on Weekly Idol !!!

[Dream]

[ILoveGeniuses]

^So Hawaiian theme for the new single then? Interesting. Btw, where did u get that picture?

@adantatu2 I dont even know what that show is.
I don't like Korean TV much, so I don't bother watching anything more than the clips of them performing the songs.

[jewelbox]

It actually might be happening.. the new single at least

[Not Fade Away]

*Gasp* Oh wow, a year and 3 days later they release a new song.

So then, we can expect the follow-up song on 7/11/14?

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

Sorry, my inner ***** came out again....sometimes I have to reign her in.

I really hope I love this song. I was hoping for a fast-paced club song that was in your face like "I Am the Best" but I don't think that can be achieved with reggae.

I'm not sure, *Shrug*. maybe it will be a reggae/dance song hahaha.

[ILoveGeniuses]

Well this is posted on their Official Facebook Page, so I guess it is true.

[Dream]

ok course it's true guys, it was posted on YG-life, YG's personal blog for teasers and information.

I think this might do great, koreans love summery songs.

[AyuHamasaki01]

Hopefully we'll get some audio or video teaser soon.
