2NE1 to perform 4 songs for follow-up promotions of their first mini-album

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Group 2NE1 will continue with unique promotions for their followup hit for their 1st minialbum promotions.

The girls released their first minialbum beginning of July with the title song ‘I Don’t Care’, and recently the girls went on a 5-day vacation, and will be coming back to promote the followup song from the album from end-August.

Normally for Kpop artiste, they will choose one song other than the title song as the followup hit to promote, but for 2NE1, they will be promoting all 4 songs ‘Pretty Boy’, ‘In The Club’, ‘Let’s Go Party’ and ‘Stay Together’ for their followup promotions.

YG Entertainment said, “After the release of 2NE1’s first minialbum, not only is the title song doing well up on music charts, other songs on the album were also very well-received, that is why we decided that we will not go with just 1 song for their followup promotions.”

With that, the group will perform all 5 songs from the first minialbum. From debut, 2NE1 has been adopting special promotions tactics – with their 1 performance 1 week tactic and also debuting through a CF song ‘Lollipop’.

IMO they should've just stuck to "Pretty Boy" as their main promo song (not "I Don't Care") and do "Stay Together" on the side. I find "In the Club" and "Let's Go Party" kinda boring, ngl :(

The comic is from BANGS (http://ygbangs.com/), Big Bang's comic! 2NE1 were featured in an issue :)

I think the main reason other groups don't promote that many songs is because they usually have to learn choreography for each song, and it might get too much with more than 2 songs.

Loved the mini album except "Stay Together." Such a throwaway track.

Smart move not to promote only 'Pretty Boy' as their second song from the minialbum (like they were originally planning) as it hasn't been doing that well on the charts compared for instance to 'In The Club'.

I love "In the Club" hardcore, along with "Pretty Boy". This new promotional tactic pleases me.

[marochi-x.livejournal.com]

I love "Stay Together."
Great BAWWWW break-up song.

[beebz-x.livejournal.com]

I love "Lets Go Party". YAY !
But so they have to learn choreo for ALL the songs? YIKES.

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

They're choreo doesn't seem to be too much. I mean, these girls can DANCE. Now...can you imagine getting SM Town level choreography for four songs at once!? YIKES.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

wow a kpop artist that properly promotes an album. Imagine that...

I don't understand why they wouldn't do this more often. It means more money for the company

Great promotion tactics. I love all those songs so I'm game.

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

Whoever finds the instrumental to pretty boy, holla at me. I have an idea for a youth cheer dance for my lil sis and the beat is AMAZING.

[polyurethane.livejournal.com]

Great idea, YG.

A++.

tsk tsk ohhhhh YG i'm going to be disappointed in you [oh wait this is YG we are talking about he doesn't know how to promote more than one artist at a time >_<]

[theweathertoday.livejournal.com]

this past weekend's music shows were cancelled because their former president passed away. I'm guessing he'll show up at the next music show?

[risu-risu.livejournal.com]

that illustration is really cute!

i agree about "in the club" & "let's go party". i felt they were kind of weak tracks :/ but i'm interested to see how this promotion goes.

[ganesa.livejournal.com]

I love this idea because I want to hear/watch all the songs live (except Stay Together, I'm pretty meh about that one) but I hope this doesn't mean they'll do all 4 songs each time cut for length :\ Whole songs one at a time would be good~

[hiddlestan.livejournal.com]

OH YAY :D?
i love the other four songs more than I Don't Care actually. LOL

[hiddlestan.livejournal.com]

AND YAY 2NE1 cartoons! i wonder what's the name for the cartoon group. hahaha.
gosh they make minji look so..... T_T

[stesabsea.livejournal.com]

Seeing as how I really enjoyed their mini-album, I like this promotional strategy. But if they're performing, when will they get the chance to record a full length album and have it out before the end of the year?

[bri9890.livejournal.com]

apparently they're comming back on october/november, but i'm not sure if it's going to be with a full album instead of a mini

[hey-insomnia.livejournal.com]

The songs in their mini album are all good (which is like rare for most albums as other songs seems to be just fillers). I'm glad they're promoting all of the songs. Yay!

And that comic is damn cute. They got the expressions right.

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

YES, 'PRETTY BOY' 'IN THE CLUB' LET'S 'STAY TOGETHER'!!!

love all of their songs... ♥

[olive-101.livejournal.com]

I'm glad they'll be promoting the rest of the songs too cause i loved the entire mini-album. xD
