2NE1 who was supposed to have a comeback in October,
Why haven’t we heard any news of their comeback yet?


As major girl groups announce their comebacks one after another, 2NE1 has attracted much interest as they have been the only ones to remain silent.

Previously, 2NE1 actually planned to release a new song soon after their ‘I Love You’ promotional activities and return to the domestic stage. However, due to limitations caused by the ‘New Evolution’ global tour schedule such as the members’ physical problems etc, it was decided that they would release their new album in October instead. Soon after, the news came that the release of this new album would be postponed to November but since then, there has not been any news of their comeback and the curiosity of fans is growing.

Until now, it has not been decided when 2NE1 will make their comeback. Since starting off with the concert in Seoul in July until December 1, their first global tour ‘New Evolution’ have attracted a total of 200 thousand fans. They are now taking a rest and are immersed in the preparations for their new album. 2NE1, who has always been committed to concepts that feature unconventional music has been reported to have come up with fresh material again this time round, and also have been working closely with staff for the previews. They are also preparing to embark on another tour next summer.

A YGE representative says, “2NE1 is resting from their busy world tour schedule. While the songs are still works in progress, 2NE1 is in the midst of preparing a comeback with songs of the highest quality. A specific comeback schedule has not yet been set.

Since YG did NO promotion for GD's album prior to its release (aside from GD's own tweets) his fans from different fan sites paid for the mural and subway advertisements:

YG basically seems to do nothing for GD when it comes to promotions but is really quick to use him for YG's petty excuses of why everything is delayed.

Actually it shouldn't have been. Every time the stock prices dropped YG put out articles saying that GD's 2nd album is to come out in August and it's going to have the song with Luda featuring. Comes August, the only month without any tour schedule there's nothing till like 15th, when GD puts up a timer for Aug. 18th.

Comes Aug. 18th and what does the timer say? COMING SOON. VIPs went apeshit. Few days go by and GD puts up a tweet saying he doesn't know what's going on either but it will be great, fans should wait. Then YG says they're releasing his 1st mini album (not a full one) and they keep delaying and delaying and delaying until middle of September and have GD fly between countries to do concerts and promote his album.

Ugh. The album was probably ready for months, YG just fucked it up and kinda blamed it on GD for not having it ready enough for release and on that some irrelevant law about music video rating system that weren't actually in effect for another three months.

For a company with stock prices in the air YG does a terrible job of sticking to plan.

Ohhhh I recall that COMING SOON transition, it was so rude... Do not recall that tweet but when your employees blatantly comment on your ability to manage... YG should have taken the hint.

ah man Daesung's famous quote...
"Only album that ever comes out on time is your graduation album."

I really hope he gets a Korean solo album because a remake album after being a singer for seven years is just a travesty.

The vocalists at YG deserve way more of everything.

Did you see the rumors that Seven is enlisting in 2013? Hope he goes out with a bang :/

Meh, I feel bad for him because he would have done much better if he stayed in Korea instead of trying to break into US market (same with BoA, they just weren't ready) and kept up the Rain-Seven rivalry going on. Instead Rain became a legend. YG fucked up on that one too.

At this point I think he's satisfied though since his business is doing well and his relationship seems so stable that two years of military won't do anything. I'm just sad because he had so much more potential as a male solo artist.

Something that frustrates me about YG is when I watch kpop star and think "that kid would grow so much at YG", then I wonder if they would, really. Blind faith just doesn't happen anymore when you can't deliver. But then I play a YG album and I'm happy with it!

Yes, Seven seems rather set as far as love and earnings go. It's just unfortunate his career was so spotty. Maybe he couldn't have been as epic as Rain, but he wasn't in Korea long enough to keep trying.

Basically everything at YG is all good except for the CEO - I commend him for successfully developing a good staff of producers, but his micromanaging needs to go. KVIPs are even developing conspiracy theories about how YG is purposely limiting the artists to tie them to YG for contract renewal.

I really wonder what's gonna happen to Big Bang after the contract expires in 2016. I personally hope they take the Shinhwa route and set up their own company (since Seungri would be so good at running it) and have GD&TOP be the main producers but I feel like GD is perfectly happy becoming another Teddy and even though the rest of Big Bang would be okay with leaving YG I think GD still feels very much attached. And I mean, GD is pretty much the heart of Big Bang.

I'm a bit sad because it's quite obvious Big Bang members aren't exactly besties with each other (GDYB are practically married, but...) and I wouldn't be surprised if they disbanded after the YG contract ends - they'd have good careers on their own.

I would love to see all if not some of them create a label. Between the five of them you have such an array of serious talent, their trainees could be so diverse yet so wonderful

I am shipping this future now tbh

the link leads to YG/AVEX website (it's in Japanese, hence the reddit link instead haha) so I guess it's true? He's been doing a lot in Japan so I'm not surprised if Avex made the announcement and not YG.

I used Google translate on the avex page and it said "enlistment in 2013"; he was born in 1984
