[wishdreamx3.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment said on the 3rd that they will take strong actions against the leakage of the several photos of 2NE1 members posing with no makeup on.

A YG representative said, “We are currently investigating into the source of the leakage. The photos leaked out are the stillcuts of when our staff was deciding on the style and cordi for the girls.”

“We are now investigating into how they were leaked out. This seems like some bad intentions with the recent release of the girls’ new song ‘I Don’t Care’. Our company will make a strong stand that we will be taking actions against whoever leaked them.”

The photos leaked out have shown the members with no makeup at all. Many fans have also voiced their unhappiness with such photos circulating online. Meanwhile, the girls’ new song ‘I Don’t Care’ has already gone up to the #1 spot on various music charts.

ikr.

[thexness.livejournal.com]

Yeeah, because no one knew they looked like this BENEATH the make-up?

I don't really think it's a big deal x'p
It just shows that what we see isn't always true.
Which... yeah okay, it might be a real bad thing, but whatev x'p

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

IAWTC.

[chasethetaxi.livejournal.com]

so it wasn't shopped?

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

ugh i thought it was official.

must be someone from the inside. o__O

[ari-meh.livejournal.com]

idk... there's something in me that doesn't believe YG anymore.

[nicooyo.livejournal.com]

Same.

Sometimes I think he says one thing hoping it'll have the opposite affect.
That probably didn't make sense but whatever lol.

[cloud-honey.livejournal.com]

As if they looked so much better with makeup.

LOL no but seriously, who took these photos? Were they bout to sleep or something?

[amorspesfides.livejournal.com]

makeup artists/stylists sometimes takes photos of models raw (no make-up, no dressing up) to assess them in their au naturale look and how to style them(so models do not to cheat using makeup). it's very common in the industry.

[amorspesfides.livejournal.com]

Knowing how netizens react even over the smallest thing it's not surprising how YG is responding so strongly to these leaks.

[iiluminate.livejournal.com]

i was wondering why yg would release such um unflattering pics.

well at least they're number one on the charts

[bellaprincess9.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was wondering the same. I saw the photos on allkpop yesterday.

[orangejuice14.livejournal.com]

They don't look THAT bad. It's just that they look super tired.

[chasethetaxi.livejournal.com]

ia

bom doesnt look half bad

[faithgrowsold.livejournal.com]

idk. i think the girl in the bottom left looks super cute, just tired. and the girl next to her isn't too bad.

and the two on the top arn't ridiculously bad, just not terribly flattering. ):

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

thats bom she actually looks way better without makeup. The makeup makes her face look plastic

[onlyformusic.livejournal.com]

YG should have played it smart and pretended it was like... antifan photoshop or something

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

OK so I feel bad for the girls now that these turned out to be leaked photos however--- I wish they were official. I thought it was a bold and smart move. Why not see what they look like? The images people see online and in magazines make fans delusional about what they really look like.

Ugh I need to stop before I start going on my rant on how the media makes girls insecure T_T

[cherise.livejournal.com]

I totally agree. If this had been an official move on their part, I would've been surprised at first, but there'd definitely be some respect for them.

I'm interested in the new SM group that's promising no plastic surgery, and tbqh, how they as a combination of talent and image will stand. imo, most of the SNSD girls are naturally pretty in some way, but when it stretches as far as nine I know there's been work done on at least a couple. I'm not bashing on them, promise. But it's kinda nice to know that people look like what they were born with.

[memorialaddrss.livejournal.com]

lol, so basically they're admitting that the girls look terrible by being so pissed off about it.

[always-lovin-u.livejournal.com]

LOL, right?

[psychtiger.livejournal.com]

The thing that makes them look bad is that they are tired and their hair is a mess. Plus, they are showing no emotion in their face.

Still love em though. And meth addict CL makes me love her more. She looks like she is really ~from the hood~.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Dara, Bom and Minzy don't even look that bad--just exhausted. I'll admit CL's pic really took me by surprise, but she's talented so idgaf really.

[herro-is-vip.livejournal.com]

I'd be pissed too if someone leaked pictures. Not because they're ugly or anything but because it means someone can't be trusted. Music could be leaked next.

The only one who looks particularly bad is CL but she is talented. And that should really be all that matters.

[sup-homeskillet.livejournal.com]

And here was me thinking that they were just being ballsy and awesome. Guess not!

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Yah man. This could've been an awesome move but YG just has to spoil it >.>~

[herro-is-vip.livejournal.com]

lol It's true. He even has them in the gym to make sure people are actually working out and not screwing around.

[nichkhun.livejournal.com]

This.

[cityscripts.livejournal.com]

Darn, and I thought YG was just trying to different from all the other companies.

Oh YG, will you ever learn that it doesn't matter? We all know they're not ~super gorgeous~ anyway.

[purkin.livejournal.com]

Not like I won't stop listening to them because I saw these photos.

And I thought 2NE1 were supposed to be "all about the music, little/no focus on looks"? :O

[kanaala.livejournal.com]

lol, it's not like we didn't know that they are just usual persons under their makeup :D those pics are shocking but who cares.. i don#t think it's such a big matter x__X but of course i understand that they have to find the one who is to blame.. lol

[sequined-doll.livejournal.com]

very convincing mr yg, hahah i wonder who's your marketing support

[lovely-tatsuha.livejournal.com]

I’m a guy and I’m telling you there is nothing wrong
