2NE1 (Korean: 투애니원, IPA: [tʰu.ɛ.ni.wʌn]) is a four-member South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment in 2009 and is now one of the most famous girl groups in the country. The band consists of CL, Minzy, Dara, and Park Bom.

First appearing in "Lollipop", a commercial campaign with Big Bang for LG Electronics, 2NE1's debut single "Fire" was released on May 6, 2009. Since then, the group has released two eponymous extended plays, 2NE1 (2009) and 2NE1 (2011), and two studio albums, To Anyone and Crush. Their first EP spawned the number-one single "I Don't Care", which won them the "Song of the Year" award at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Their follow-up singles, such as "Go Away", "Lonely" and "I Am the Best" were similarly successful, with "I Am the Best" winning 2NE1 their second "Song of the Year" award in 2011.

2NE1 officially debuted in Japan in September 2011 with a Japanese version of their second extended play as Nolza. Since then, the group has released one studio album, Collection, and two physical singles in Japan. In 2012, The New York Times named 2NE1's performance at the Prudential Center in New Jersey as one of the "Best Concerts of 2012".[1] In October 2012, Zack Greenburg of Forbes magazine noted that 2NE1 has sold 27 million digital downloads.[2]

History

Conception

2NE1 was first mentioned by South Korean press in late 2004. YG Entertainment formally announced in early 2009 that the group would consist of four members and debut sometime in May of that year.[3] The company stated that the group had trained for four years, and that their debut album would contain songs produced by 1TYM's leader Teddy Park.[3][4][5] The group's name was initially announced as "21," however, due to the discovery of a singer with the same name, the group was quickly renamed "2NE1".[6] The name, pronounced in Korean to approximate English to anyone or twenty one, combines the phrases "21st century" and "new evolution.[7]

2009: Debut and first Korean EP

In collaboration with Big Bang, 2NE1's first CF song "Lollipop", was digitally released on March 27, 2009.[3] The song was created for LG to promote their Cyon phone. The music video was released on March 28, 2009.[8] Although it was not a promoted single because it was an advertisement (there were problems with network chart eligibility.[9]), "Lollipop" topped the online chart of music television network Mnet for four weeks in a row.[10]

2NE1's debut song, "Fire", was released on May 6. The song was written and produced by 1TYM's Teddy Park,[11] and contained elements of hip-hop and reggae.[12] Its music video had two versions — a "space" version and a "street" version.[13] Within the first 24 hours of release, the videos each received over one million views.[14] The group held their first performance of "Fire" on May 17, 2009, on SBS's Inkigayo,[15] marking the start of the group's activities. A reality show, 2NE1TV, was also launched in May to assist in the group's debut promotions.

Both the song and the group became popular online, and 2NE1 became a popular search term.[16] The group was awarded three Cyworld Digital Music Awards; "Lollipop" and "Fire" both won "Song of the Month" award and the group won "Rookie of the Month" for May 2009[17] 2NE1 received their first Mutizen award after their fourth stage performance in SBS's Inkigayo (Popular Song) on June 14. They received their second Mutizen award on the same show on June 21. Two days afterwards, 2NE1 signed a deal with Fila to become the models for their new commercial campaign.[18]

"I Don't Care" was released as the group's second single on July 1, 2009 along with the group's first extended play.[19] Promotions for their new release officially commenced in early July.[20] Yang Hyun Suk stated that the song would demonstrate a softer, more feminine image of the group than illustrated by "Fire".[19] A reggae version of "I Don't Care" was debuted with a performance on SBS's Inkigayo in September, signaling the end of promotions for the song.[21] Due to the remix's popularity, it was released to digital outlets on September 3 and became their next digital single.[21]

In August, after finishing "I Don't Care" promotions, 2NE1 took a temporary hiatus with each member releasing their own solo singles.

Along with three other groups representing Korea, 2NE1 performed in the 6th Asia Song Festival in September 2009, where they received the 2009's "Asian Newcomer's Award."[22] 2NE1 received many year-end awards. Their debut EP also reached a milestone of 100,000 sales by the end of the 2009.

2010: To Anyone

On February 9, 2010, without previous announcement, "Follow Me" (Korean: "날 따라해봐요", "Nal ddara haebwayo") was released to digital outlets and used as the promotional song for Samsung's Corby Folder.[23] Over the summer of 2010, 2NE1 traveled to Los Angeles and London in order to record English songs for an American debut album with The Black Eyed Peas's member and music producer will.i.am. The group recorded a total of 10 songs in their initial sesions.[24]

The group's first full-length album, To Anyone, was released on September 9, 2010 and proved to be a huge success.[25] The album charted at No. 7 on Billboard World Albums Chart. Prior to the release of the album, it had already received 120,000 pre-orders. The album eventually sold 150,000 copies by the end of the year.[citation needed]

The album contains 12 tracks, including three title tracks, "Clap Your Hands" (Korean: "박수 쳐"), "Go Away" and "Can't Nobody", which were promoted simultaneously. 2NE1 won first place on Mnet's M! Countdown for "Clap Your Hands" on the day of their comeback, followed by a K-Chart win the next day on KBS Music Bank for "Go Away", and a Mutizen a week after for their SBS Inkigayo performance of "Can't Nobody". Overall, 2NE1 won first place eleven times on various music shows throughout the promotional period for To Anyone.[26]

To promote the album, the group made their first entertainment show appearance as a group on KBS variety-talk show Win Win[27] while also airing the second season of 2NE1TV.

On October 21, Yang Hyun Suk announced that 2NE1 would be releasing a follow-up single on October 31, later revealed to be "It Hurts (Slow)" (Korean: "아파").[28][29] It was first performed on SBS's Inkigayo. The music video was directed by Kim Hye Jung, who also directed G-Dragon's "Butterfly." The music video was released on November 1 and utilized a Halloween theme.[30]

In Addition, on October 28, it was revealed that 2NE1 would release Japanese material under the Avex Group, and that To Anyone would be re-released in Japan on December 8, 2010. However, the release was later delayed to early 2011.[31] Other non-Korean promotions took place in Thailand, where To Anyone was released on October 28, 2010.[32] On November 26, 2NE1 released the single "Don't Stop the Music" as a "special gift for Thai fans" and as the promotional accompaniment to the group's Yamaha Fiore endorsement.[33]

At the end of 2010, 2NE1 took home the "Artist of the Year" award and the "Album of the Year" award at the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards, thus making them the only artist to win all 3 grand awards at the said award ceremony.

On February 22, Avex announced that 2NE1 would release their Japanese debut single "Go Away", previously used as a Korean promotional single, as a ringtone on March 9, 2011.[35] It was later announced to be the theme song of Japanese television program Mezamashi TV.[36] On March 16, the group released 2NE1, their first extended play, in Japan, with no promotions because of the Tōhoku Earthquake and tsunami.[37] It debuted at #24 on the Oricon charts, selling 3,860 copies in its first week of release.[38] 2NE1 initially planned to make their official Japanese debut live on Music Station, but instead postponed their debut to the fall of 2011 due to the earthquake.[39] 2NE1 participated in the Naver "Pray for Japan" campaign alongside many other Korean celebrities, helping to raise funds for earthquake victims.[40]

On April 18, 2NE1 announced their plans for a Korean comeback, pushing the release of their second self-titled EP, 2NE1, forward from the fall to "May or June".[37] Park Bom's second solo single, "Don't Cry", was unveiled on April 21, 2011.

After Park Bom concluded her solo promotions by singing an acoustic version of "Don't Cry" on YG on Air, the group officially confirmed that a new single titled "Lonely" would be released on May 12, 2011. A behind-the-scenes video of "Lonely" was shown on the second episode of YG on Air, with the full music video being released on May 11, 2011 on 2NE1's official YouTube account. The song enjoyed similar success to "Don't Cry", ranking #1 the Gaon Singles Chart. The music video also garnered over 4 million views over the course of four days.

The fans have spoken. Congrats to 2NE1 and all the loyal Blackjacks who voted.".[85]

In 2NE1's debut EP 2NE1 (2009), the group was noted to have a distinct, mixed style. While "Lollipop" was categorized as for pop, debut single "Fire" is predominately influenced by hip hop. "I Don't Care," however, was intended as a song with a reggae feel.[88]

Their comeback album, To Anyone, was marked by a strong shift into electronic music. "Go Away", the most successful promotional single from the album, is classified as dance.[89] However, songs like "It Hurts (Slow)" are R&B, another style that also characterized their first EP.[90] The three title tracks, "Clap Your Hands," "Go Away," and "Can't Nobody" were noted for their lasting impressions, as they topped music charts weeks after release.[91]

2NE1 is known for a "unique and edgier style".[92] During their debut single, the group was noted for being "hip-hop" and the female counterpart to Big Bang but changed this perception with "I Don't Care" into strong, feminine women.[19] During the "It Hurts (Slow)" music video, the members were noted for their Gothic, black attire[93] and strange hair and wigs.[94] Zack Greenburg from the American business magazine Forbes described 2NE1 as a pop group characterized by bold, bright outfits and big, catchy hooks punctuated by rap verses and an "in-your-face swagger". He also considers the group to be "bigger than Psy", singer of the worldwide hit single Gangnam Style.[2]

Influences

2NE1 recorded R&B songs with styles that encompasses urban, contemporary[citation needed] and dance-pop. They have stated that Destiny's Child,[citation needed] Spice Girls and TLC are girl group influences.[95]
