YG, "The CEO of a famous U.S. record company shows attention towards 2NE1"
The special attention from Jimmy Iovine, the president and key figure of a well-known American record company Interscope, on 2NE1 such as giving them specially made gifts has become an issue.
Yang Hyun Suk, the actual headman of YG entertainment which 2NE1 is engaged with, stated that “Jimmy Iovine highly praised 2NE1’s leader, CL, as an incredibly talented artist full of potential after watching a video clip of her practicing” and that “he recently gave 2NE1 custom-made headphones as gifts.”
The headphones that 2NE1 wore in their ‘Fire’ space version music video are the very ones that Jimmy Iovine customized and gave them. Undoubtedly, it seems like he showed an extraordinary attention beyond Korea from the States to a rookie that has not even had their debut.
According to Yang Hyun Suk, Jimmy Iovine admired CL and showed specific attention towards her.
Indeed, 2NE1 rose as the center of attention in Korea as well before their debut. Even before debuting, they achieved 1st place in various music charts with ‘Lollipop’ which they sang with Big Bang.
Additionally, they recently had a successful first debut performance. With a 6-minute composition, which is believed to be extraordinary seeing as how they are only rookies, they made a record of an incredible 16% viewer rating.
Attention shown towards 2NE1 is not only from Jimmy Iovine. A famous blogger in America, Perez Hilton, introduced 2NE1’s ‘Fire’ music video on his homepage and showed affection by displaying their debut performance as well.
The extent of success by 2NE1, who is receiving attention in-and-out of broadcast, is being noticed.

2NE1 "A debut that's like a dream, we want to win with a strong performance."
New female group 2NE1 has made their first steps into the music world.
CL(18), Park Bom(25), Sandara Park(25), Gong Minji(15), who is in the group 2NE1 from YG entertainment, will have their first debut stage on the 17th at SBS Inkigayo. On the 6th, 2NE1 came out with their title song 'Fire' and 2 MV's, Street and Space.
2NE1, today, after their rehearsal, had an interview with Star News.
CL, who has the position of rap and leader said, "We are very nervous because it is our debut stage, but we had more than 1000 fans today supporting us who has been a strong support and we finished our rehersal with enjoyment."
Lead vocal, Park Bom also said "Our rehearsal stage felt like a concert stage thanks to our fans support (laughs). Also, the other vocal Sandara Park, was smiling as she said "This debut stage is like a dream." The team's youngest Gong Minji also said "I am very thankful to all the people who took interest in our debut date." [T/N- debut date = debut stage]
They also confessed that their seniors Big Bang's support gave them a lot of strength. Also this day, Big Bang's G-Dragon and Daesung were present at the debut to support. Park Bom said, "Big Bang members gave us advice on how to look at the camera and also on body movements and also gave us a lot of strength.
CL said "Everyone at our company helped us a lot, and before our debut, lots of people recognised us and rather saying we were intimidated, we will enjoy our stage."
The girls also said, they will perform with strong music and a strong performance and we will try hard to get the fans love and support.
Park Bom also said "The members have been practising every hour, expect for the sleeping hour and we tried hard, and will also show our good side to fans."
YG entertainment boss, Yang Hyun Suk, was also present to support the girls personally and said with the start of 'Fire' they will be continuing their activities until the end of the year, and that 2NE1 will show a different side from the usual female idol groups. He also said that he will be thankful to all the fans who continue to show support.

“2NE1, make known to the public” Yang Hyun Suk ” ‘Neutral’ is the keyword for the current music industry.”
On 17th, YG Ent.’s new girl group 2NE1 has been unveiled. They took part in a CM song ‘Lollipop’ together with Big Bang before their debut, and their debut title song ‘Fire’ has occupied the first place in various online music charts, aggregating many hot topics.
Besides 2NE1, YG Ent. is also having other artists under them such as Big Bang, one of the most famous idol group in the current Kpop, and Se7en who has begun to enter the US market, powerful vocalist – Gummy, HipHop group - 1TYM and Jinusean.
YG Ent.’s rookie 2NE1 who is determined to be something in the music industry, in order to keep pace with the current active senior groups, how their path would be? The headman of YG Ent., Yang Hyun Suk, met and had an interview with Kim Gwang Myeong, the minister of performing arts of Moneytoday Starnews on 18th evening in a restaurant nearby the Seoul Hong Uni.
- 2NE1 has gained great attention not only from the domestic, but also from overseas since their debut.
Since ‘Lollipop’ and ‘Fire’ MV was introduced by US Perez Hilton, 2NE1’s debut stage that aired on the 17th was made known to the public on his blog again. Perez Hilton is a famous blogger in US, I think it’s amazing to receive such attention from him.
- What kind of activities have been scheduled/planned for 2NE1 in the future time?
At first, we have planned to release 2NE1’s new mini album in July. However, in order to have onslaught marketing strategy, we are planning to bring forward the release date to June. It’s not that we did not think of having them to appear on variety shows, but we plan to control on it for the moment. Big Bang used to be taking the same strategy by gaining certain popularity then only taking part in variety shows, wasn’t it. 2NE1 is also planned to be using the same track.
- 2NE1 has different characteristics compared to the typical girl group. Not only their strong music but their style is also unique.
I think that the keyword for the current music industry is ‘Neutral’. The most popular lady music makers in the US, are also having the feminine personality right. 2NE1 is the group that is not only famous among the males but also gaining great popularity from the females. You can feel it from the SBS Inkigayo live broadcast on the 17th.
- What kind of singer you want to produce in future?
I do not want to create a simple popular singer, but a singer that people will look forward. In the era that full of media and public opinion, it is hard to make issues without taking part in broadcast shows. However, the most important thing is still based on the planning and music. There will be not much broadcast activities for the girls in the upcoming time. Even though without any broadcasting, ‘Lollipop’ and ‘Fire’ has still occupied the first place, right.
- Things you would like to say to the public.
During the 42.195km marathon, 2NE1 has just taken the first step in it. They are still not yet started to show off everything, so please do not simple comment on the start. They will improve and progress toward the best group, please continue showing your support and interest.
