OMG, New Korean album in September, working with will.i.am & planning a Japanese & American debut!?!

I CAN'T

Quote:

It’s been a long time coming but they’re here now–well, almost. YG Entertainment’s butt kicking girl group 2NE1 is set to make their comeback next month in September with their first full length album To Anyone!

Big daddy YG (aka Yang Hyun Suk) surprised fans with a big slap in the face as he put up a post on the YG Entertainment homepage titled ‘Message from YG’. It’s quite a long passage but to sum it up, 2NE1 will be returning on September 9th with a 12 track album titled To Anyone. Six of the tracks will be brand new with four being their past digital singles and an additional two bonus tracks.

3 of the tracks will be title tracks and the MV for them all will be out at midnight on September 9th together with the album. There will be no teasers at all.

It’s also been reported that the girls traveled to LA and London to work with Black Eyed Peas leader Will.I.Am in order to create the music on their album. Apparently he was given the chance to see one of their videos and almost immediately decided that he wanted to help produce their work.

In addition, plans for them to debut in America are undecided as yet but they will expand into Japan early next year. Also, 2NE1TV Season 2 will be shown in September instead.

Lots of more exciting stuff is bound to be headed our way so be sure to stay tuned!

They have the most American appeal of all the current K-pop girl groups IMO.

Quite frankly, if BoA couldn't do it I don't think they will.

I'd like to see them, Suju and SNSD try though.

BoA couldn't do it because she wasn't promoted in any way, shape, or form. None of her singles went for adds and her label wasted all her budget on 3 flashy music videos that nobody ever saw.

Oh... I replied before I read the article. So there's actually currently no info about their American debut... Lame.

Unfortunately not

LOL.
It'll probably happen sometime next year after thier Japanese debut though I personally think they shouldn't even bother with Japan. Their image really doesn't cater to the Japanese auidence.

I'm excited for Asian popstars in America. It's definitely long overdue.
I love BoA so hopefully they can bring it similarly

THIS!

Drais.

I'd rather have 4minute to be honest.

Plus BoA flopped because she had ZERO promo. I literally heard about her the day before her album was released.

Sporefan

I don't care-e-e-e-e-e

Nah,just kidding! Hope they will have success there!
4 Minutes and 2NE1 always confuse me though

Girl plez, SNSD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ooohhh myyyy gooossss.. Lol.. GO 2ne1, they need promo and released english version of "FIRE". That song is a real smash..

2ne1 >>WG

fabbriche

Oh no! They are novelty singers.

BOA did not make it big in the U.S. because her English diction is not clear in her English songs...

"Eat You Up" sounded like Korean even tough it is an English songs...

On the other hand 2NE1 got the English skills for them to make it! Also they got Perez Hilton on their side lol!

Drais.

Her English is more than clear.

She didn't make it because they tried to promote her a few days before her album was released. You CANNOT promote a new artist at the last minute, and expect them to move units.
