omonatheydidIs there any other group that can be a better topic maker than them before debut? 2NE1 has attracted a lot of attention and topics due to the deeds like the collaboration with Big Bang in a CM song that has been topping the online music charts for weeks. Now they have showed us their debut stage in SBS Inkigayo on 17th, and officially made their challenge in the music industry.
2NE1 which is composed of CL (18), Sandara Park (25), Park Bom (25), Minzy (15) has released their debut song “FIRE”, and has presented a different style of music and appearance from typical group to the fans. Without the makeup they have a pure very childlike look compared to look they had on stage.
# The perspective of affirming and disaffirming “Female Big Bang”!
Already before the debut of 2NE1, they had decided to throw off the active broadcasting activities, and only bring one high completion/perfect performance per week to meet with the fans. Before the confirmation of the group's name 2NE1, they had been labelled as “Female Big Bang” and thus becoming a hot issue, both after their first stage performance and before their debut.
The compliments about their stage performance such as “shining with the charisma that doesn’t look like a rookie”, “the charming performance that shows off a different feeling from the typical idol girl group” are the affirmation. While as for the disaffirmation, they had been given a 6 minutes long performance even though they were a rookie group, which was a special treatment compared to the others that had only 2~3 minutes long stage performance, and hence this has attracted negative comments.
2NE1 was neither happy nor sad about these, but they continue to keep working on what they should do prudently. CL mentioned: “After the first stage performance, we feel that there are many regrets. We have already tried our best, but due to our lack of stage experience, many problems have risen like the unskilled way of holding a mic. We wanted to present a more enjoyable look, but we couldn’t show off everything due to nerves. We will work harder in the future in order to keep up with everyone's expectations.”
About the great attention they received before their debut, CL said: “Although there is pressure, but it still has the positive side. It’s not a bad thing to show our excellent look as a return to those concerns. We are under the same company as Big Bang sunbae and that might be the reason of being labelled as “Female Big Bang”, but that’s also like becoming a VIP, isn’t it? Therefore, we are very grateful about it too.”
Sandara Park added, “There isn’t anything more honourable than being someone like Big Bang.”
# I still want to become a singer after I am reborn!
Recently, most of the members of idol groups have experienced a nearly 10 years time of trainee life before making their debut officially. It is not easy to hold on to the faith of “must become a singer” within 10 years time. However, 2NE1 who also had their trainee period said that they would still choose the pathway to become a singer even when they'll reborn; and because they made their dreams comes true after experiencing the trainee life, thus they think that they are blessed.
When asked to give an advice for their juniors who are also having the dream of becoming singers, 2NE1 said: “You must have faith in your own dream and work hard, just wait for the right opportunity and your dream will come true”.
Of course they were sometimes depressed. CL mentioned: “When practising continuously, I sometimes felt depressed, but since that is the thing I like, so I never thought of giving up”. While Sandara Park said: “The moment that I really felt like giving up was the moment when my skills suddenly stopped improving for a long period of time. Other members can handle that situation well, and taught me the way to stay strong, so I got over that.”
Park Bom said: “After the long trainee life, I had prepared for a solo career, but then I got merged with the group members. After all that, I had the moment of getting tired of all the waiting before.” While Minzy said: “My vocal skills were kinda constrained, so I felt hurt while thinking that “I can’t sing”. Thus, I have undergone harsh vocal practices.”
The 94-er Minzy is now preparing for an exam. Carrying the both high school life and trainee life at the same time, but no matter how she still wanted to focus more on training and chose to leave the school. This is not an easy selection, but she confidently said: “I chose that because it is the thing that I like, I won’t regret.” CL was looking at this point at Minzy, and praised the maknae: “She has been reading a lot of books. Lyrics writing, composing, that’s surprising.”
# Neutral feeling is what we want!
The music and style of 2NE1 is emitting the charm of neutral. About this, 2NE1 laughed and said: “We feel very thankful that you can see us in this way.”
CL said: “We usually like music from male artists, and also hip hop, that’s why there are such elements in our music. We also like very much men's brands what comes to clothes, it has actually already reached the level that whoever see us will say that we are four guys. The preparation of debut album is also for making music that can let us present ourselves better.
# There is a lot that we want to learn from WG, SNSD!”
Not only accepting many pieces of advice from Big Bang, as for WG and SNSD who have set off the girl group wave since last year 'till this year, we see them as the seniors that we have many things to learn from, even though their music is totally different from ours.
We have learnt from Big Bang about their daily practice routine, and also their style on stage. We want to learn their sincerity when we see them still keeping on with practising 'till the midnight, and we have also memorized all their movements and facial expressions when they are on stage.
They look like a bunch of lively girls, but when we talk about the dream and the planning of music, they have stronger determination and heart than anyone else, and making people feel that their hidden talents are about to burst. Compared to becoming the best rookie of the year, they are anticipating more of having their own concert - The excitement and positive force towards this dream has given them the determination to start the new evolution of hip hop girl group. Let's look forward to them who are about to flip their wings and enjoy flying towards the sky.
