The members of 2NE1 started out the year with the release of their 2nd album CRUSH in late February, which they have been busy promoting throughout 2014. CRUSH has garnered much attention internationally and has made it to the TOP15 World Album on Billboard.
2NE1 took 11th place on Billboard’s World Album Year End chart for 2014, making them the only artists from Korea to make it on this specific list. Billboard’s Year End chart determines the top tracks and albums of the year by observing the total sales throughout the year. With the final results out, it shows how much love and support 2NE1 had been receiving this past year from fans.
CRUSH is 2NE1’s second official album, which includes 10 tracks that share the various colors of 2NE1 while staying true to their style. Earlier this year, CRUSH had been chosen by the U.S. Billboard as the most popular girl group album and placed first in popularity during “Girl Group Week.”
Congratulations 2NE1 on your success this year! 2NE1 is said to be attending the 2014 SBS Gayo Daejun later this month.
In other news, 2NE1’s leader CL has also been busy getting ready to promote in the United States and Diplo shared a glimpse at a track that fans determine to be CL.

My introduction to South Korean skin care—the latest phenomenon sweeping online beauty forums, Amazon.com, and most recently, brick-and-mortar boutiques—came firsthand. It was my junior year of college, and I was living in Paris with a Korean roommate. In terms of beauty, we were diametrically opposed: Where I existed in the easy, low-maintenance, zero-to-one-step French skin-care camp, my roommate followed a strict, traditional Korean regimen of as many as ten serums, lotions, patches, and creams. Our respective shelves in the bathroom cabinet looked like two different planets—it was the first time I had ever looked at a shelf of beauty products and thought to myself, “What is all of this stuff?”

i like how they included the part about jin's solo center part being switched for jiae just a day before mv filming. that can definitely create animosity between members but hopefully jin doesn't blame jiae for it :/

Article: New victim of Enes Kaya steps forward, reveals messages, "Sexy body, big boobs.."

"We met on SNS. We went to a club together and he kissed me saying he wanted to make a relationship with me work. We dated from July to October and had a relationship deep enough to consider marriage. He said that we would have a good future if we didn't get caught by the journalists. I considered him my lover so I slept with him."
When asked if she didn't know he was married, "Unless you watch his shows, I don't think you'd know. The reason I didn't suspect him to be married was because we met in front of his home and walked around the area often too."
"He made a lot of requests and talked sexually a lot. He was once on a radio show and put on a song that I had requested. Who would expect a man like that to be married?"
1. [+1,036, -65] Can't believe he's the complete opposite of what he presented himself to be on Abnormal Summit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Go kill yourself, why even bother living? How can you be like this when you're married? This woman's hopeless too ㅋㅋ She meets a man on SNS for the first time, clubs with him, kisses him, sleeps with him, and considers marriage less than 100 days after dating? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What a joke
2. [+699, -21] An embarrassment to Turkey, to men, to his family.. just quietly go back to your country. You have no future in Korea.
3. [+663, -19] More and more women are probably going to come forward... what if he dated 20~30 of them?
4. [+61, -30] She deserves it for thinking to marry a man she met at a club
5. [+54, -12] She's a complete liar, there's no way she wouldn't have known he was married if she even listened to his radio shows and considered marriage with him. Surely she would've looked his name up on the internet, the information's all there...

Watch on Gooddrama|Viki
In the early 1980s, there were five friends who ran an illegal broadcasting station.
Back then, the world was much simpler.
It was clear what had to be defended and fought for.
The way to go forth was like a straight line.
But reality destroys ideals.
Time teaches one about betrayal and compromise.
Now, their children have grown up to their twenties.
One of them became an agent who steals the secrets of others at night.
Another is a paparazzi who digs for information about others behind their backs.
In this damned world left behind by their parents,
political and societal justice are just unlucky words to them.
But there is one person who will take them forward. Thanks to him…
These children now start to harbour the same dreams as their parents. A dream to become a real reporter.
But in order to become true reporters, there is a wall that they have to overcome.
This world that their parents have shaped and left behind for them.
Will these children be able to become the real reporters that their parents once dreamed of?
Will they be able to untie the knots of the past and change the world?
“The world messed with us first,” one person among us said.
“No, it is us who have sinned against the world,” yet another person said.
- Hwang Jin Woo, from “Within the Broad-leaved Forest”

I like how his lyrics in this one and his debut both seem very connected to everyday life in Korea with the social media usage, it's very relatable imo
