2NE1 on Breaking Chart Records, Turning 5

The K-pop phenoms sit down with Billboard to reveal their favorite videos, memories

2NE1 shot to mega-superstardom from their thumping, debut single "Fire" and continued to release a rush of hit singles, collecting over half a billion views on their official YouTube channel, collaborating with superstars like will.i.am and Skrillex, and touring sold-out shows around the world.

Despite their success, the girls had only released one full-length album since their 2010 debut, "To Anyone." That changed in February when the YG Entertainment group dropped second LP "Crush," which immediately became the highest-charting K-pop album on the Billboard 200, landing at No. 61. Plus, the set was dubbed favorite girl group album in a Billboard.com readers poll, beating girl groups like Destiny's Child and Spice Girls.

Nearing an impressive five years in the industry and a number of milestone achievements under their belt, the record-breaking group seems more eager and spirited: The girls just released a new music video for "Gotta Be You" (the third vid unleashed from "Crush") and launched their highly anticipated tour, "AON: ALL OR NOTHING." The tour that has already hit Korea, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Malaysia since its launch, bringing thousands to the their show.

With lots to celebrate, 2NE1 -- aka CL, Bom, Minzy and Dara -- invited Billboard exclusively to the studio where they were shooting for their upcoming Japanese album cover to talk what it means to break records, the most memorable moments during their five-year career and their plans for the rest of 2014.

I want Minzy's hair color, but I would look like an idiot

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

You'd look hot, but pink or purple would be amazing on you too ^^

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

Awwww, but I'm not cute like Minzy so I'm staying a boring brunette

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

You're far from boring

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

My parents are probably crying over the money they spent on French lessons (I suck at languages and I was a rebellious teen)
Link me link me, Google is my friend

old song coming your way



Almost accurate lyrics :
Everyone
Repeat in chorus that men prefer blondes
they melt
For a discolored in less than a second
I have the impession that they confuse
And the Mona Lisa, unless we mow her
It's really a brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

Some, brunettes call themselves
Venetian blondes, naughty
Liars, they cheat, and then where this is leading them ?
We should warn them
Sophia Loren, I'm not color blind
It's really a brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

We have some character, and in our arteries
It's warm blood flowing
We dont play uncool
Watch out for brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

And even if everyone
Repeat in chorus that men prefer blondes
they melt
For a discolored in less than a second
I have the impession that they confuse
And the Mona Lisa, unless we mow her
It's really a brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

We have some character, and in our arteries
It's warm blood flowing

Watch out for brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

Watch out for brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

Watch out for brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

Watch out for brown
Brunettes not count for nothing

what. there's nothing untrue about that statement. i'm pretty sure more than one group can be impressive, accomplished, and record-breaking.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

where is the lie in that sentence tho? or do we have to bring up snsd even when they have nothing to do with the whole thing, in typical perma-pressed sone fashion?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

No lies detected.

Wait, wut? Did CL just say the Japanese M/V for Crush is her most memorable video? I've been outta the loop...when is this going to happen?

[imangos.livejournal.com]

The hell is going on with Dara's hair? Could it be any more obvious it's a wig...and a bad one at that? It's like the stylists have not a single bloody clue what to do with her hair/makeup/clothing so they turn off the lights and tell her to get dressed by herself in the dark. This long red hair looks amazing on Minzy! She gets prettier and prettier every time I see her. I do wish the other girls spoke more. Seems like even for Korean interviews CL does all the speaking with occasional comments from Dara.

A JAPANESE CRUSH VIDEO!!???
