We have been updating you guys with performances and news about 2NE1 even before they debuted, and now we're back with backstage pictures of their second Inkigayo performance on May 31st. These pictures give you a different vibe from the performances, and you can now see them up close. Really close, that is. Even in these photos, their charisma is still very visible and tangible.

Although 2NE1 may not have the face or the look of the typical girl groups in Korea, they sure have charisma and stage presence (especially CL) that everyone is beginning to love. I'm hoping that we'll see these girls in other shows other than music programs such as variety shows, however, we might have to wait a while since YG released a statement earlier saying that they will use similar techniques as Big Bang to garner popularity - promote music and image first, then slowly move on to other shows.

Dara's pretty interesting eye makeup which pretty much freaked me out.
HAHAHA, but still I'm lovin' it. (:

Minzy's "Mop Hair".
No offence to Minzy's fans! Biandeyo! ^^
And oh, don't you think that she looked a bit like Dae Sung?
With that mesmerizing smile? =D

The bombshell, Bom.
My fave! =D Look at her ear studs! Awesome!! =O

a close up look at CL, the Charismatic Leader.

The leadah, the bombshell and the maknae.
Pay attention to CL's chain ; its attached to the jacket! So the rumors about CL and TOP from Big Bang sharing the chain is.. not true? HAHA. And look at Bommie's .. leggings? They got horns! o_o

CL, Bom and Minzy.

2NE1 ; girl power.

Fire baby. =)
