How about 2NE1 who is right on top this fall in Korea? YG Entertainment informed with a serious consideration saying “They will just focus on the domestic markets and consider to debut in abroad after they are fully prepared.”
One of the parties, from YGE, said, “There are many suggestions offering a contract with huge amount of money from many entertainment companies from Japan to 2NE1, but we kept on refusing them”, explaining the present situation, saying, “The domestic activities are the priorities and there’s a plan for the US debut, so we think it’s not our time yet.”
Also, they are being very careful on the money issue. A YG representative added, “If we get the money first, there will be a hard situation to keep the good structure of cooperation and we may have to follow what they want us to do most of the times”. He also said, “2NE1 has never had the official debut in Japan, but they are receiving very high responses, so we don’t need to offer that kind of unfavorable conditions by ourselves.”
The international markets watching 2NE1 is so hot. The music videos of the 3 title songs of the first full album of 2NE1, which costed of production of a one full movie, was chosen to be the most watched video on Youtube, the world famous video site, with the 500 thousand views only on the day it was released. Plus it ranked no.1 on the Japanese chart, nevertheless they haven’t even had an official promotion, not only for once.
The very first one who is performing triple title songs in the domestic musical industry history, 2NE1 is sweeping all the charts with their 3 songs, “Can’t Nobody”, “Go Away” and “Clap Your Hands”.
Also their ringtone downloads are over 600 thousand, showing off their power to be the top street popular music in this fall.
So what is so special about 2NE1 that they are becoming popular on both of domestic and abroad markets? The critics are saying that they are unique on both music and dance. They stand out beyond of all the whole girl group patterns which were just exaggerating the cute Barbie doll types or sexy voluptuous figure types.
Last year, they’d already expressed their genre-free music that varies from hip hop to electronic within the image of unique artists with their debut music such as “Fire” and “I Don’t Care”.
They are also receiving huge support from their company, YG. Compared to some girl groups, busy with all the shows, TV programs, stage showcases with a very small popularity as if they were such money making machines, 2NE1 has shown the leading system of separating the terms of preparing, performing, and resting.
