2NE1 speaks up truthfully about this whole issue of ‘war of girlgroups’ and also what they think of the other girl groups like So Nyeo Shi Dae and 4Minute. They said in a recent interview, “We feel that the other groups have their own charms and specialities and we also get to learn from them in always working so hard. Instead of calling it ‘war of girlgroups’, it is more like all of us as females showing the ‘woman power’.” They continued, “It would be good that 2NE1, So Nyeo Shi Dae, 4Minute will be able to capture fans’ heart through our cool performances on stage. It is because we are not standing in different places, but we are altogether in one place.” “Our weakness is our group dancing. We are weak as a group dancing together after we have been into our individual training lifestyle for long. So Nyeo Shi Dae on the other hand are really good at group dancing and we are envious of that. There are many times when we are surprised at how synchronised their angles and lines are.” They continued, “And for 4Minute, our thoughts are ‘they are really hardworking’ and ‘they put in much effort’. They encourage/stimulate us on.” Meanwhile, the girls are promoting their title song off their 1st minialbum ‘I Don’t Care’ gaining much popularity together with other girlgroups like So Nyeo Shi Dae and 4Minute who are also promoting their songs. 2NE1, “We were worried for a slump after dumping the powerful image for feminine image” 2NE1 has revealed that they had felt the pressure for a possible depression (?) after dumping the powerful image for feminine image. The girls said in an interview recently, “We are worried since ‘I Don’t Care’ has a totally different atmosphere as ‘Lollipop’ and ‘Fire’. Fortunately it seems that fans like the song.” They continued, “We can really feel how great the capabilities of Teddy and Kush were through the song. The music is good, the lyrics are fun and the fans love it.” And about the song going up to the #1 spot on music charts again after hits like ‘Fire’ and ‘Lollipop’, they said, “This is beyond our expectations that the song would go up to #1 so fast. We were just curious how our new image would be received.” Also about them getting their first #1 on music programmes, “We got so emotional. Bom (They actually wrote it as CL in the article) and MinJi kept crying. CL held on to her tears as Teddy has taught her that as a leader she should not cry. And for Sandara Park, she is someone who enjoys everything she do so she was full of smiles.” 2NE1 said, “As compared to getting #1, we hope to show new features of us. There are still many sides of us yet to be revealed. There is the cute image, and also each member’s charms. We just want to show everyone these.” Credit: KBites
