‘Unrivaled girl group’ 2NE1. This is not just their plausible modifier. Since their debut, and for five more years they have been differentiating their music with unique distinguished characters. They are still differentiated from other groups. 2NE1′s weapon is ‘difference’ which is now settled down as their unrivaled competitiveness.
2NE1′s new song ‘Missing You’ is about extreme sorrow. It is not a typical break up song, but it is broader. They said they recalled each member when they sang the song.
“I imagined the possibility of parting up with my members. I would miss them if we start doing things apart. In fact, everyone sang the song with the same heart. It is not that we are going to stop being a team! (laughs). We had a lot of time to think during the tour last year. I think that time made us feel more special to each other.”(CL)
2NE1, who mainly showed strong intense performance, came back with a sad tear-shedding new song ‘Missing You’. The music video was even more shocking. Member CL made a bold daring decision to perform naked.
“As soon as I listened to the song, I wanted to play raw. I thought this song did not go well with any clothes style . I wanted to express the ‘raw image’ so I first offered to perform naked in the video. I could not have done it if someone asked me to. I did not feel uncomfortable since I knew this goes well with the song.”(CL)
“CL said lets go all nude together. We were appalled. We all refused so she did it by herself. When we saw the video, it was amazing.”(Park Bom)
She even made her members’ startled. But her choice eventually created an artistic outcome. The video was lauded by Billboard which said “CL has does the sad and naked with more classic than Miley Cyrus ‘Wrecking Ball’”
“We were really surprised. I thought she was so cool to go naked for our video. Her art spirit was amazing. I did not have any desire for a naked performance since I have the youngest image.”(Minzy)
This was a big issue even inside the YG Entertainment and Yang Hyun-suk.
“He said nothing much. I remember him saying ‘I will let her go naked since she wants to, but I am a little worried.’ after watching the outcome Yang Hyun-suk and YG family all said ‘Thank god it came out well. We were so worried.’ I guess it was a big issue in YG. Many must have been worried.”(CL)
The song ‘Missing You’ is the third single this year after ‘Falling in Love’ and ‘Do You Love Me’. In the beginning of the year they planed on releasing each song every month from July to October. Actually, it did not turn out as they planned.
“We tried to comeback with regular album. This is why it took so long. But we just came out with ‘Missing You’ because we wanted to share the song fast. Also due to the timing and weather. Regular album? There are already many songs. We did not want to rush anything. Instead we wanted to come out with perfect high quality songs.”(CL)
Previously, 2NE1 already garnered attention with their comeback time overlapping with YG Family musicians. Again, their comeback will be overlapping with Taeyang and TOP who are already in promotion. Instead of looking uncomfortable, they seem to look happy.
“We are really close with Young-bae (Taeyang). We don’t know many celebrities since we don’t regularly come out. We are happy to see our family musicians. It is not boring to work together.”(CL)
“If our promotion overlap, I feel more excited. When we are active in promotion, sometime I feel tired, sick, sleepy but still..alive. ”(Dara)
Park Bom and Dara Park playfully confessed that they have no development in their love life although they earned their freedom to date. When they said about music, they soon became serious right away. When they were asked about their future goals and plans they focused on their simple not far away plans.
“For now, our goal is to release our regular album. We will be dropping our regular album before our world tour next year. We don’t want to become meaningless top chart singers. Instead, we would like to inspire and affect others with our song.”(CL)

But we just came out with ‘Missing You’ because we wanted to share the song fast.
wise choice because it was very obvious that their summer songs were recorded a few years ago and had outdated sound.
I love everything about Missing You and it's great to see something like that from 2ne1. I sincerely hope that this album happens but I have a lot of doubts. This is YG after all.
