YG Reveals More Info on 2NE1’s New Single, Mini Album, Concert
YG Entertainment revealed more information on the 2NE1’s upcoming single, new mini album, and first solo concert through its official blog YG-Life today. The group will unveil their new single “I’m the Best” on June 24th and their new mini album will be out on July 21st. Their first solo concert is scheduled for August 27th and 28th in Seoul.
Here’s the full translation of today’s post:
“First of all, we apologize for delaying 2NE1’s new single release due to internal problems.
2NE1’s new single, following “Don’t Cry” and “Lonely,” is titled “I’m the Best,” and will be released on June 24th.
Produced by YGE’s main producer Teddy, “I’m the Best” is a powerful, fast beat song featuring electronic and hip-hop sounds. It’s expected to be popular among younger generation people used to the club scene as well as the fans of 2NE1’s original sound such as their debut track “Fire.”
Unlike their previous tracks that didn’t involve any TV promotions, “I’m the Best” is expected to have a lot more comeback and TV performances. This will be 2NE1’s first TV promotion in nine months since their first full album release including songs like “Can’t Nobody,” “Go Away,” “Clap Your Hands,” and “It Hurts.”
The MV for “I’m the Best” is produced by director Seo Hyun Sung and will be released at midnight on June 24th with the digital single.
Currently we’re expecting to release 2NE1’s mini album on July 21st. It will contain tracks like “Don’t Cry, “Lonely,” and “I’m the Best,” as well as two more three additional songs. Since we’ve been working on this album for a long time, there are a lot of promotional activities planned up, but we’ll give you more details in the near future.
2NE1’s first solo concert scheduled for August 27th and 28th will be held at the Olympic Hall in the Chamsil Olympic Park in Seoul. Following a long renovation process, the Olympics Hall has become a professional concert hall with a capacity of about 4,000 seats per performance.
Compared to YG’s past concerts, it won’t be as big in size. But for 2NE1 this will be their first solo concert, so instead of trying to do too much, we wanted to present something more fun and complete where the members can closely interact with the fans.
Tickets will be available starting July 7th, and more information on this will be up next week through YG and 2NE1’s official website.
The third season of ‘2NE1 TV’ has not been confirmed yet. But “YG on Air,” which was shown six times so far every Friday, will continue to air in a guerilla format whenever we have new ideas, as that was our original plan heading into it.
Promotions for “I’m the Best” will continue until late August, and following their solo concerts, 2NE1 will head to Japan in early September for a two-month long Japanese promotion.
We hope for your continued support for 2NE1’s official promotions and we will come back with more updates on their new mini album in the near future. Thank you.”

Lonely - A music video with outfits that costed more than the cost of production
Several people are talking about how the fashion in 2NE1's most recent music video for Lonely, was more expensive than the cost of the music video production itself.
Netizens were astounded to find out that the cost of the outfits had exceeded the cost of production, with the outfits costing a total of 200 000 000 Won (Approximately $200 000) while the cost of production for Lonely only totalled 150 000 000 won.
The clothes that 2NE1 had worn in their new music video for Lonely were of the brand 'Balmain', a brand that was launched in 1945 by the designer Pierre Balmain. In 2006, he recruited Christophe Decarnin, and has become a hot trend amongst designer labels, with musicians such as Kanye West, Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna, etc. sporting their line. Out of all the brands presently, this brand is renowned as a high-end brand within the highest price range.
Representatives spoke a bit about 2NE1's outfits, "It was originally an extremely expensive brand and out of all fashion labels, this brand almost never sponsors celebrities. Sometimes, they would sponsor actors for award ceremonies or other special performances however for the past few years, out of all the singers, they would only graciously sponsor 2NE1."
When Netizens heard this, they commented, "As expected, they're brand-name celebrities.", "I wonder how thrilling it was filming the music video", "This unique style matches 2NE1 well".

2NE1′S COMEBACK SINGLE “LONELY” DUE MAY 12
Good news, y’all! The brand new 2NE1 single “Lonely” is scheduled to drop on May12th, less than two weeks away. The song will serve as the first of SIX new singles due out from the group, with a new single set to be released every three weeks from the date of their comeback.
2NE1′s producer Teddy King (also Big Bang's producer) recently gave an update on the girls’ new album, confirming that it’s almost complete: “You can say that the singles to come are about 90% completed. The framework for the album is done, and all that’s left is working on the details.”
Teddy also confirmed that he’s been over in America recently working with U.S. producers and songwriters. He didn’t elaborate what it was for exactly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 2NE1-related.

PARK BOM PERFORMS "DON'T CRY" LIVE ON 'YG ON AIR'
YG Entertainment’s “YG ON AIR” went live this April 29th, and the first live performance of Park Bom’s ‘Don’t Cry’ was shown together with details of 2NE1’s impending comeback next month.
”YG ON AIR” is a collaboration with Korean portal site Naver, and it consists of media content that YG Entertainment directly produces. YG had planned this for a long time, as they had always wanted to break away from the frames of broadcast programs and create fun content based on their own ideas.
Besides seeing Park Bom perform acoustic versions of her digital singles, ‘Don’t Cry’ plus ‘You and I‘, there was also confirmation of 2NE1’s impending comeback by 2NE1 themselves during the show. Their new song, ‘Lonely‘, is scheduled to drop on May 12th.
