MANILA, Philippines – Popular Korean group 2NE1 is back in the Philippines.


The girl group arrived in the Philippines before noon today. The purpose of their visit to the country is not known yet though some say it’s for vacation since it’s winter in Korea.

Early this morning, 2NE1 member Park Bom tweeted that they are now headed to the Philippines.

“We are now going to the Philippines,” she posted on Twitter along with a photo of fellow 2NE1 member Sandara Park.

Upon learning of the news, Filipino fans waited at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 to get a glimpse of the Korean pop group.

2NE1 arrived in the country at 11:27 AM via a Korean Air flight from Incheon International Airport.

Recently, Newsweek magazine featured 2NE1 as part of the emerging popularity of Korean hip-hop acts.

“While ‘K-pop’ has gained popularity as the catch-all term for a host of glossy boy and girl bands, 2NE1—with its signature tune, ‘Ugly’—represents K-hop, a budding movement that backs up its slick pop sheen with true R&B talent,” the magazine said in the article “Korean Hip-Hop: K-Hop Goes Global.”

It said K-hop is getting popular.

“Now K-hop is getting in on the act: Internet exposure helped boy band Big Bang win the World Wide Act award at the MTV Europe Music Awards last June, and MTV Iggy just crowned 2NE1 the Best New Band in the World,” the article said.

It added, “The ultimate validation for K-hop would be lifting Asian music out of its tacky stereotype and bringing it to the same level as Latin and European music on the global music scene. The early signs are promising: will.i.am has already begun working on tracks for 2NE1.”

On March 31, 2NE1 and Big Bang will perform at Springroove in Chiba, Japan. Also performing in the popular event are LMFAO and DJ David Guetta.

I have such an intense urge to stalk them. I mean, come on. If they're just chilling in Resorts World, they're obviously staying in Marriott Hotel. LMAO they might even stop by Republiq while they're at it.

It's weird that when she used to be really popular here, she wanted to go back in Korea. She misses the pancit, I guess LOL.
