On 17th, YG Ent.’s new girl group 2NE1 has been unveiled. They took part in a CM song ‘Lollipop’ together with Big Bang before their debut, and their debut title song ‘Fire’ has occupied the first place in various online music charts, aggregating many hot topics.

Besides 2NE1, YG Ent. is also having other artists under them such as Big Bang, one of the most famous idol group in the current Kpop, and Se7en who has begun to enter the US market, powerful vocalist – Gummy, HipHop group - 1TYM and Jinusean.

YG Ent.’s rookie 2NE1 who is determined to be something in the music industry, in order to keep pace with the current active senior groups, how their path would be? The headman of YG Ent., Yang Hyun Suk, met and had an interview with Kim Gwang Myeong, the minister of performing arts of Moneytoday Starnews on 18th evening in a restaurant nearby the Seoul Hong Uni.

- 2NE1 has gained great attention not only from the domestic, but also from overseas since their debut.

Since ‘Lollipop’ and ‘Fire’ MV was introduced by US Perez Hilton, 2NE1’s debut stage that aired on the 17th was made known to the public on his blog again. Perez Hilton is a famous blogger in US, I think it’s amazing to receive such attention from him.

- What kind of activities have been scheduled/planned for 2NE1 in the future time?

At first, we have planned to release 2NE1’s new mini album in July. However, in order to have onslaught marketing strategy, we are planning to bring forward the release date to June. It’s not that we did not think of having them to appear on variety shows, but we plan to control on it for the moment. Big Bang used to be taking the same strategy by gaining certain popularity then only taking part in variety shows, wasn’t it. 2NE1 is also planned to be using the same track.

- 2NE1 has different characteristics compare to the typical girl group. Not only their strong music but their style is also unique.

I think that the keyword for the current music industry is ‘Neutral’. The most popular lady music makers in the US, are also having the feminine personality right. 2NE1 is the group that is not only famous among the males but also gaining great popularity from the females. You can feel it from the SBS Inkigayo live broadcast on the 17th.

- What kind of singer you want to produce in future?

I do not want to create a simple popular singer, but a singer that people will look forward. In the era that full of media and public opinion, it is hard to make issues without taking part in broadcast shows. However, the most important thing is still based on the planning and music. There will be not much broadcast activities for the girls in the upcoming time. Even though without any broadcasting, ‘Lollipop’ and ‘Fire’ has still occupied the first place, right.

- Things you would like to say to the public.

During the 42.195km marathon, 2NE1 has just taken the first step in it. They are still not yet started to show off everything, so please do not simple comment on the start. They will improve and progress toward the best group, please continue showing your support and interest.
