You must have busy schedules for the second album. How is your condition and what have you been up to?
CL All of the 2NE1 members are focusing on mini-album schedules without getting sick. While addressing the schedules, sometimes we felt tired. But because playing on stages is our motto, we feel more joyful than anything.
Would you introduce this mini-album? Particularly, which song do you like best?
Minzy All 6 songs in the second mini-album features top quality, so it was hard to pick out a title song. Each song has a distinctive attraction, besides <Hate You> and <Ugly>, we have performed with other songs. We are very pleased to get such love from fans and they are lovely songs to us.
For the concept of this album, a pop artist, Mary Kim participated in. How did you feel when you saw what she sketched about you guys?
Dara It was the cooperative works that we had never done before, so we worried as much as we anticipated. When we got the outcomes, we were satisfied with them because the distinctive works were matched with the overall image of 2NE1.
Your first solo concert is scheduled for the end of August. How is the preparation going? What are you going to show your fans?
Minzy Someone may know, we’ve expressed how much we wait for our first solo concert. Now we made the dream come true, we were also told that concert tickets were all sold out and additional concerts were scheduled. So we are preparing the concerts with excitements.
Bom I would like to save what I want to say here for better fun in the concert. However, we are confident to satisfy those who wait for our songs and concerts. Please come to 2NE1's concert.
#After this interview, 2NE1 finished the concert with a sellout of all tickets, in full swing.
Comparing to other girl groups, 2NE1 goes differently in terms of color and characteristics. How do you define 2NE1?
Bom I can define it in a word, which is ‘Play’
Your group’s popularity goes beyond Asia and now to Europe. How do you feel about that?
Dara Recently, our members were surprised to hear that ‘You Are on A Roll[I am the Best]’ topped in Germany where the song was not broadcasted and we have not had a concert there, but they love me. It is unbelievable.
What is the most unforgettable episode or fan during your overseas concerts?
CL There are some conspicuous overseas fans. We tend to pursue very strong fashion styles, and those who like this come and see our concert while wearing the same clothes and accessories. Looking at those fans, we feel excited and grateful.
Minzy I am a little bit surprised to see someone who looks like CL in a concert stand.
What is your favourite fashion and accessories?
CL Rather than stick to a trend, I tend to seek the items to my taste. So, I do not have any specific brand that I prefer. However, I prefer black coloured items that are foundational and often look for some point accessories that goes well with black.
What do you usually do in flight?
Dara We often use an airplane. In this case, I try to take enough sleep.
Minzy If I don’t fell asleep, I tend to watch movies. As those flight times are pretty much lengthy, I try prepare what to do in advance.
Your interview will be translated into multi languages, any mentions to overseas fans?
Bom As we want to closely communicate with our overseas fans, we put efforts into music and concerts. We are very pleased to know that you like us as much as we try.
Minzy In the case of second mini-album’s title song <UGLY>, we expressed chorus parts in English to clearly deliver our message to overseas fans. I wish this interview that will be translated and put in
How about your plans in the second half year after concert?
CL After finishing this concert, we plan on releasing a debut album in Japan. We wish our energy goes to the public and it becomes the oppurtinity to play together.
