the weird thing about 2NE1 being fierce is that they're all kinda meek in real life besides Bommie, but they're all so charismatic and talented and pulled it off so well that it literally changed kpop from Tell Me/Gee/Mister kinds of stuffs to everyone being edgy.
I feel like Mamamoo are 2ne1's spiritual successors rather than BlackPink, obviously their music is very different but they're a group that survives on talent/charisma rather than visuals - I feel like we need at least one of those
edit: Also the overwhelmingly female fandom is another similarity.
Anyway, I'm sick of educating ignorant KPop n00b stans use google or something
Ugh this keeps growing on me, it really needs more attention
I kinda hated the song at first but it's so good! I can't stop listening to it. Although the rest of the mini is kinda disappointing. Secret def had waaay better b-sides. Perfect! is cute tho.

2NE1 was more reliant on their visuals & charisma rather than their vocal talent
I'd say mamamoo are more of BEG's successors if anything

I've been thinking about this actually, they serve sex and all that and the Korean oppas are still not here for them?
True, they are meant to be a bit girlier (mostly thanks to Apink member-esque Jisoo) but they have strong 2ne1 influence. Nothing against her but Rose is a bit of a Bom/CL imitator in terms of her voice Jennie too, to some extent.
Their lyrics are quite different though. I don't see BlackPink doing anything even slightly like Ugly.
You're right.
Pretty much everything 2NE1 ever did was Ugly, whereas BlackPink are visuals.
Poor Irene. She would've been AXED even after a decade of training for Jisoo.
Ahh Talent wins.
I'm not so sure about that, despite having the younger age advantage Jisoo is a bit of a questionable dancer while Irene very good, and I think SM cares about dancing a lot. F(x) & Red Velvet don't have any real dancing holes unlike SNSD
