^That's a pretty dumb reason for comparing them if you ask me.

I feel like 4minute's style is an uglier version of 2NE1's. And their debut song was not as good. "Hot Issue" is kind of annoying, there's a few seconds in there that are catchy but it's just a mess. 2NE1 has real talent, and I'm enjoying watching them grow <3

2NE1's style was messed up - at first. They've gotten so much better since the first Fire costumes imo. Ssandara's hair wtf LOL.

i agree. i didn't care for hot issue at all :/ but i don't think 2NE1 has real talent vocally if that's what you're talking about.. but they are pretty good dancers/performers

well, I think 2NE1 has members who each have a specific strength - so it makes them not all blend together. They are the first group whose names I know - I can actually identify all of the members by name and face easily. Most groups, I can never tell them apart, so I think that's a good sign here =D

^I agree with you. To this day I still can't tell two of the Wonder Girls members apart.

Same here.
Each one has her one character and so you can easily recognize them. And they fit well together as a group, that's a great strength.

I don't have problems telling who is who in SNSD, WG, 2NE1, KARA, BEG. 4minutes, I still have to remember the names but they are easily recognizable.

As for style, sorry but 2NE1 has a really ugly style. LOL. Okay, they got better clothes for one of the I Don't Care performance (black outfits) but what they wear is usually pretty ugly. I don't like their style in photoshoots. Remind yourself that G-Dragon styled them a few times. That explains the weird combinations. LOL!

Awww but I love Sandara's hair. :weep

their style is fabulous, they are pretty much the hottest issue of korea right now. :)

Love the performance. Dara sounds great. And I agree with you. Isn't Hottest Issue a song by one of those girl group mention above your post?

cause I don't care eh eh eh eh eh~
cause I don't care eh eh eh eh eh~
:breakdanc

thanks for the perf, they are starting to look better :)

i don't mind their style anymore.. at first i thought it was ugly but it grew on me. some of what they wear is questionable but i wouldn't say their style is hideous.

they sound so good in that i don't care perf :yes i hope CL keeps her hair down like that.

I really luv their Album. all of the songs are good.

dara is freaky hot! woohooo!
pom... sorta looks fat in some angles. hahaha!

yeah, i love how the kpop rookies are doing it these days.. no more boring outfits! 2ne1 channels Latina and Japanese style clothing while 4minute channels Singaporean and Filipino style!

I don't like I Don't Care but the performances are so fun to watch. It seems to be a better song for the group overall. With Fire, Minzy and CL ruled but here they are all on the same level and share the spotlight.

Yes! the performance is sooo enjoyable. Dara is sounding great in those lives...CL too!
Bom is definitely boosting her confidence..

i love the new outfits...and something tells me they probably had no time to made new outfits for the live before LOL

I'm glad they aren't just a one-hit wonder; they're constantly getting better! =D

You know, cuz of all their popularity, they should have had a song called "Hot Issue" xD

Great performance, thanks for posting.

The change in style is nice, but I do like what they were wearing before, so it doesn't matter to me that much.

Another great performance!!!

They all look and sound so awesome. ^_^

They look great like this, with all their hair down!
The choreography looks sloppy, but other than that, great performance. :yes

oh i love that song !
2ne1 hwaiting ! ^^
i love CL ~

See? No rivalry between girl groups. Fans shouldn't be pushing it.

^im sure they are all friends lol...its just how the media portrayed them to be

The I don't care performance was great
and finally! GREAT OUTFITS!!!

I agree with you leena ~

i just think 2ne1 is the best (better than snsd and 4minute, anyway) but i don't see any rivalry really :shrug

I agree, I'm a big fan of 2NE1 at the moment and like them the most, but I like 4minute and SNSD as well.
Probably the media and some fans made up this rivalry because it's somehow thrilling. :laugh

I agree with what they said; I think right now SNSD are better dancers (but 2NE1 is getting better), and 4minute sort of has their own style. So they all appeal to different tastes

they are so good at harmonizing. kpop girl groups take note :cool

i'm glad they sang in the club! they sound great, i love their radio performances.

they performed on music bank and won! :yes





they looked so cute, i love these outfits.

another victory under their belt! i'm so happy.

i have a feeling they will win rookies of the year.. i don't remember the last time a group did this good right after debut!

In the club was amazing...tbh, I tot Dara opened the song...and NOW THAT I KNOW IT IS ACTUALLY CL!!!!!!!!!!!! omgg....CL's voice is amazing...

will watch IDC later

I agree!
At first I liked CL because of her attitude, it's great. Her rap parts are nice but sometimes her voice can get annoying in it. When she began to actually sing in the next songs I asked myself "Huh? Is this CL?". I was totally amazed by her singing voice, didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
Her first part in the "In the Club" radio performance gives me goosebumps!

Yay for winning Music bank!
Dara looks great.

Congrats on winning Music Bank! Shows they are winners and not losers =D

Although I love CL's rapping, I like to hear her singing voice too, it's such a contrast ~

NEW LIVE...im sorry i dunno how to embed here
I like this live...but can someone spot something CL did??? :P
Dara looks great

Thanks!
Wtf what is Minji wearing? Outfits aren't that great this time. XD

It seems CL has high spirits, that's all. :laugh

lol ew those outfits :no

i didn't catch CL doing anything.. unless you mean when her voice cracked.

CL is making a constipation face in the first 10 seconds LOL.

The arm-thing with Minji was pretty cool, pretending to be her arm

The whole performance was good, they really have gotten a lot better since their first FIRE performance =]

I heard one part where CL's voice cracked lol...at the 2nd Ohhh NoooOoooOoo..

(how to embed videos here?)

so cute! 2pm x 2ne1

LOL 2pm is so stupid, il them.

they performed pretty boy on some radio show :yes



and in the club & i don't care

They were so cute on the radio show!

They always give Dara very flunctuating parts of the melody...zzzz
(i wonder if they will sing Let's go PARTY)

HOW MANY OF YOU WATCH 2NE1TV!!

i watch it :yes has the most recent episode been subbed?

btw they won on music bank again!

^ Yup! Congrats to them!
They won by 132 points the first time and 7 points the 2nd time. Who will win the 3rd time?!

they deserved to win.. they have the best song out right now!

i don't think it will be 4minute. the next ranking down was lee seung ki and he had half the points of snsd + 2ne1 LOL

Episode 4 of 2NE1TV is hilarious hahaha

Congrats for winning again!
Does Dara drop the trophy? XD

Here's the performance of the show:



They all look great.

THEY WON INKIGAYO! woots!!! congrats to them...they're bound to get Rookies of the Year

perf


victory

their haters are so delusional.. lol. these girls have brought something to the scene that was much needed in kpop. they are here to stay.

<-------- haters to the left :laugh

i love their outfits in that perf :yes i'm glad this song is doing so well, it's better than fire imo.

I agree, this song is so much better than FIRE! But to be fair, they're both a different style

I like fire more,but I think that's, because it takes me a while to like cutsy songs.

I dunno if anyone is interested but:

dara dropped the trophy and broke it LOL

"Tears tears.. The now broken trophy TT sniff sniff sniff what to do… we tried using bond and glue but it doesn’t stick.. Does president (of YG) know that it’s broken? What am I supposed to tell him?… TT TT aigo.. I want to take a dive!!! Kekeke Bbyong~!"

LOL she's so cute. it's ok, they'll be getting more in the future :yes

You can see Dara dropping it in the winning video btw. in the performance after. :laugh
I saw it the first time I watched it.

I got my copy of their debut mini-album in the mail yesterday and I decided to scan the booklet for y'all. I used an old scanner that I found kicking around in my garage so the scans are only 300 dpi but they still turned out pretty good. :D

Booklet:

I wasn't able to scan the front or back cover because they're both printed on holofoil paper. It's really pretty to look at but also really hard to scan. :P


Photocards:

http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/7...ocard01.th.jpg http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/9...ocard02.th.jpg

If you're wondering why these scans seem a little odd (low-res), it's because the photocards are small. They're not postcard size but rather credit card size so the amount of detail available in the pictures isn't that great.

I'm also supposed to get a poster in the mail but it hasn't arrived yet. I don't think I'll try to scan that one, though, since I'm sure piecing it together would drive me nuts. :dead2

Enjoy the scans, and if you share them on other sites, credit would be appreciated. :)

thank you for the scans! i wanted to scan mine but my scanner sucks so i was waiting for someone else to do it. where did you buy it from? bc i didn't get any photocards with mine :(

I got it on eBay from GRAPEMUSICLAND. :cool

Thanks a lot for the scans!

And thanks for telling your ebay seller.
I wanted to buy the album at YesAsia, but I couldn't resist and just bought it from this seller. :laugh
Cards and poster are too tempting.

^You're welcome. :)

And I was going to buy the album at YesAsia too but when I saw the listing on eBay that included photocards *and* a poster, I couldn't resist either. :D

Stay Together on Radio Show
Gosh, im VERY VERY impressed with CL in this song now. Note whose singing those high harmonizing backgrd vocals at about 2:30. (sad that Minji has really few parts in this song)

I really want a 2NE1 poster! I just may buy it from that seller, along with SNSD's =D

i am addicted to 2ne1 tv.. they are so cute. i want more and more episodes


well, we will miss you in this thread!

i should have bought the mini album off ebay, yesasia never has posters and stuff with their korean items :weep

they sound so good in that stay together performance!

What Are you crazy! I love dara too, but CL and Minji's Vocals are better than hers.......and judging by where they are in the charts, I don't think they need to step up to any other level, there perfect the way they are right now.

Yeah I love 2NE1 TV too, to bad last weeks episode was the last, since this is just a 10 part series, and now its Big Bang's turn for the rest of the 5 eps.

their mini-album is very nice !
actually i ever spend my day with only listening 2NE1 songs (which made me feel so guilty for ayu ..)
but these girls is love n CL is incredible ! :)

I really want more 2NE1 TV! I'm sure we'll see more of them soon enough

isnt 2NE1 TV just postponed????...ITS GONE FOREVER?!...i mean they couldnt have installed all those cameras in their house for nothing o.o

It's over for now, the rest of YG Live is going to be dedicated to Big Bang now.

^garhh...damn...
(but on the + side, its big bang!)

Haha, true, at least we get some Big Bang love.

Now the girls can work on new stuff!

guess who won inkigayo!!! one more and they get the triple crown! idk if its possible but we will see!

2NE1 WINS 3RD INKIGAYO..now they have the TRIPLE INKIGAYO CROWN

2NE1's take on BIG BANG'S Last Farewell
I think this is AMAZING...CL's rap was great. Bom and Dara sounded very gd. Minji's slick moves were hot.


2NE1's I Don't Care (Piano Remix)
Also very nicely done. I prefer this to the Summer-y remix from before..but they're both cool
