The 4-member Korean girl group 2NE1 released their debut single in Japan, entitled "Go Away", on the 22nd February. Since their 2009 debut, they have become the 30th biggest group in Asia and their music videos have been viewed over 2.6 million times on YouTube. They are really taking the music world by storm and are gaining a name for themselves as a super unit. K-Pop's biggest group are looking forward to doing battle in the J-Pop market.

(omitted irrelevant info)

In the middle of all this, they have secured their Japanese debut. Japanese record company Avex saw one of their performances and were reportedly shocked by the perfection of the girls' songs and their refined fashion sense. After hearing about their success in Korea, they immediately set up negotiations with the group.

The single 'Go Away' is their first Japanese language song. The ringtone of this song will be available from 9th March. As well as Japan, entry into the western market is also in sight. The leader of the group CL (19) says that she hopes that they can live up to the fans expectations.

This popular K-Pop group will surely light up the Japanese chart race.

This will be great song to debut with, if they get rid of the auto-tune.

I'm usually not that bothered at all by the over use of auto-tune in 2ne1 songs but it pissed me off in Go Away ngl.

You know, for someone who has a boyish figure and isn't a very pretty girl, they really don't try to make Minzy look more like a girl and less like a boy. It's like they just slap on some random emo cut and ill fitting jacket and tell her to get out of the room.


As for 2ne1, only big name releasing that week that I know of is JYC, who will get number 1. No idea who else is releasing that week but luckily for 2ne1, quite a few big names fall before and after their release.

This isn't one of the best songs on the album and out of what they promoted I'm kind of 'meh' about them choosing this one, I think Bak Su Cho and Can't Nobody are better songs, then again, I don't really know what the Japanese market likes. I thought they liked cuter themes? Should have gone with Kiss if that's the case.

They look stunning in the photo though. Is this recent? I hope so because farewell to Minzy's tragic as hell orange mess.

Well, the translation is wrong. In the original article it says:

以来、発売する楽曲がことごとく音楽チャートで1位を獲得し、昨年の「MAMA」をはじめ、韓国を中心に30冠を獲得

which would translate as "The songs to be released were #1 in all music charts, and since MAMA and with Korea as the core/center, they've 'won 30 crowns' (literally)", which I think means their songs have been hits in 30 countries, cause then the artcle talks about how they even got the attention of American producers.

I don't think they should have chosen this as their debut song. Debut with Fire instead, please! Or at least with some song that has some sort of memorable dance. Look at Kara they were smart enough to debut with Mister instead of Lupin. But then again 2NE1 is with Avex which fails with girl groups, so what can you expect!?! :-(((

(They are looking really awesome in that photo though!)
