^I'm not sure. It would be amazing if they added more US dates, but I don't know if they would stop off in the States, go elsewhere, and then return. It would probably tire them out. : o ( Anything is possible though, especially if there's a demand.

As of right now though, they are asking different fan sites (namely YGladies) to help them sell out both US locations, so I doubt they would add dates if they're having a hard enough time selling out those two locations.

If they would reduce the damn price I would totally drive my ass over to NJ and go.

Interesting article though, especially considering what I mentioned above. Voters in Korea just gave 2NE1 49% of the vote amongst other girl groups as the most likely to succeed in America:

I have to agree with this, I think their sound/lyrics/compositions would make them the most likely to succeed in the states. Thanks to Teddy for being bi-lingual/having lived in the states and knowing what America is looking for in terms of music, and thanks to 3/4s of 2NE1 having a fairly good grasp of the English-language, I think they would be the most appealing to American audiences.

The only problem is that the market over here probably won't make any rapid and dramatic changes towards being accepting of Asian-music. We've come pretty close with like the Far East Movement as a recent example, but that group mainly produces beats and the majority of them were born here.

I still think it will be a long time before Asian music makes waves over here, but I'm really hoping that YG and 2NE1 in general prove me wrong. Especially since Papa YG is ridiculously smart and knows what he's doing. His recent move to hold auditions in America for American acts in his company (of ANY race) was genius. If he can establish some American acts in his company and make them big, or semi-big then he can promote his already-established groups from within and get their names out there too.

Alright, I apologize for this mostly unnecessary analysis lol.
