Even cl, who doesnt complain much, had mentioned on national tv how yg kept calling them ugly despite being a gg watch strong heart. YG came to a concert rehearsal once. I was a bit disappointed. Although YG Entertainment has typically branded itself as a company based on talent over visuals, fans have been disappointed with his focus on appearance with his female artists.
The track experienced major success, gaining the 1 spot on "Bugs", the 3 spots on "Dosirak" and " Mnet ", and the 6 spot on " MelOn " barely an hour after its release; it later grabbed the 1 spots. The track was released on November 20, and the duo debuted their performance on November 21st at the Mnet Asian Music Awards during 2NE1's special musical stage called "21 Jump Street". Hours after the announcement, the single was unveiled on online music sites with promotional photos accompanying its release.
The track was used as the theme song for the Samsung Corby Folder CF , and reached the 1 spot on online music charts hours after its release. Due to the overwhelming response and popularity of "Nal Ddara Haebwayo", a spokesman for YG Entertainment confirmed that 2NE1 would film a music video for the song. It was released on March 11, The first full album of the group, To Anyone , was released in September, YG Entertainment announced that three songs from it would be used as lead tracks, these being " Can't Nobody ", " Go Away " and " Baksuchyeo ".
This kind of promotion made 2NE1 the first Korean artists to promote three songs at once. The song was previously released in Korea on their first full album To Anyone. Their first Japanese album, 2NE1 , was released on March The album compiles their Korean debut-mini album of the same title, 2NE1 1st Mini Album , and three songs from their first Korean full album To Anyone.
They would have become the first foreign artist to perform on it prior to a Japanese debut. Park Bom's second solo single, " Don't Cry ", was unveiled on April 21st. Afterher solo promotions were concluded, the group officially confirmed that a new single titled " Lonely " would be released on May 12th.
The song achieved a perfect all-kill on music charts. The music video also garnered over 4 million views over the course of four days. The song went on to become the 4th most downloaded single of the year in South Korea. The song also achieved a perfect all-kill and was awarded the "Song of the Year" award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards.
Their next single, " Hate You ", was released the following month, and immediately following the single was the release of their second mini-album, 2NE1 2nd Mini Album , and the final promotional song " Ugly ".
Promotions for the mini-album officially concluded in late August. Following the end of promotions, their first sold-out solo concert at the Olympic Hall in the Chamsil Olympic Park was held on August 26th, 27th, and 28th in Seoul.
However, the group faced difficulties after the the Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami, and their activities were postponed again. As a result, it was decided by YG Entertainment that the group would promote in Korea again. Bom's solo song " Don't Cry " was released first on April 21, and was then followed by the group song " Lonely " on May 12, Both songs reached the apex of the Gaon Chart. Neither were promoted extensively on music shows, as well.
The song also reached number one and gained international notoriety. The plans for a mini album then stated that another digital single would come and then be followed immediately by the release of their 2nd Mini Album. It was released one week prior to the mini album's release on July 28, The mini-album was promoted through the song " Ugly ", which reached number one on the Gaon Chart, surpassed "Hate You" which only climbed to number three.
Following the mini album's release in Korea, the group began to promote in Japan. Nolza was released on September 21, , and reached number one on the Oricon weekly chart with over 20, copies sold. The song peaked at number fourteen. The end of the year was marked by releases of the group's live album and DVD for their first concert, Nolza.
Collection contained both their Japanese singles in addition to Japanese translated versions of their previous Korean songs. The album also contained a bonus version of the song "Like a Virgin" by Madonna.
A Japanese version of the album was released on June 25, That was a major change in my life. The people with the same faith and that same encouragement came into my life and were able to speak very boldly into my life. It wasn't like, 'Oh, you just have to get better. It's OK to struggle and it's OK to feel bad, but let's think about it, deal with it and have faith.
When she decided to depart 2NE1 and YG Entertainment in , Minzy says it was the first step in figuring out if performing was her true path. I had to find my own direction, and the only way to do that was by leaving the group and fighting for my own will.
I was wondering, 'What is my life about? The next step was putting herself first. She surrounded herself with people who support her and her vision like Ashley Choi, whose previous clients include Justin Timberlake and Jay Park , who handles global management and is her "best friend.
It's that I fought for myself, my own future and what I wanted," she reflects of her now-solo journey. I did feel pressure and [a] burden [when going solo], but it was a good burden. Looking ahead, Minzy wants to incorporate mental health resources and support for those dealing with similar issues into her upcoming tours in a similar vein to Demi Lovato offering free mental-health counseling throughout her Tell Me You Love Me tour.
Minzy choosing to speak out about her journey comes when almost exactly a year ago SHINee 's Jonghyun died suddenly in late His passing -- ruled as a suicide -- struck her. With her music embracing a global mindset latest single "All of You Say" is in English and boasts reggaeton vibes and seeing a higher purpose in speaking openly about mental health, Minzy says her path is clear and rich with the experiences that have helped her in her battle and growth as an artist, advocate and woman.
The longest pause she takes to answer during the conversation comes when she considers who she was then and who she is now. If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, you can call a suicide hotline and find resources in your country here.
