Brief Background

Even before their debut, news of the “Female Big Bang” became a hot topic for those familiar with YG Entertainment. With a long list of pre-debut activities, 2NE1 started to gain fans even before their official debut. Then, on March 27, 2009, New Evolution of the 21st Century or 2NE1 was featured in a commercial for the LG ‘Lollipop’ cell phone, with label-mates Big Bang. The collaboration was a smashing success, the immense popularity of the song helped it reach #1 on many music portals despite not being promoted on music programs, the MV was also well received, gaining millions of views on both Korea’s GOMTV and Youtube. Based on this preview, 2NE1′s official debut became one of the most anticipated events of 2009.

2NE1 finally made an official debut at SBS’ Inkigayo on May 17, 2009. The quartet performed their chart-topping digital single ‘Fire‘produced by Teddy Park of 1TYM. The group splashed on the scene feisty and fierce, with 100% girl power. 2NE1 truly gave a strong and lasting impression to the public and to the KPOP world.


After the release of their fist self-titled Mini Album, 2NE1 started promotions for their title track ‘I Don’t Care’. The song topped many charts and won on various music shows. As 2009 wound down, and with an ever-increasing number of awards and honours, 2NE1 gained the title ‘Super Rookies of 2009’. Since then they have continued to build on that success with the release a full length Album, ‘To Anyone’ as well as another Mini Album, both of which have gained an incredible amount of critical as well as commercial success.

In 2012 and beyond 2NE1 is planning for a U.S debut, further expansion into Japan and a continuation of their success in Korea. This is just the beginning for the Girl Group and they continue to chant “Nolza” every step of the way!
