I think it's maybe to do with giving the girls a break. They're on tour; apparently a world tour as well, despite some of these dates still not being released. I don't expect new stuff when they're touring. It would of been nice if they'd released a new album to promote alongside it, but obviously they're working hard enough to please their managers so I'm just glad we're not seeing any stories of them fainting or becoming ill due to stress.

I can wait for new stuff. I'm impatient too but I'm sure their next releases will be worth the wait.

I don't think that YG doesn't take them seriously, and I don't think that they stopped caring, I just think that they're creating less interest for them in Korea right now, which is what I meant by "screwing them over".

Two of my friends are living in Korea right now and even they were telling me that it seems like 2NE1 has kind of faded from the spotlight. I know I have to take this with a grain of salt, because I don't live there myself, but when I heard that I was disappointed.

After the stellar year they had in 2011, it was just upsetting to see them lose on every music program so far this year with "I Love You". I was hoping for another round of kick-butt promotions and new singles. They slaughtered the competition in 2011.

I think I just get frustrated because I'm a YG-stan so when there's no new music, I have no other Korean artists to spaz over lol. I know I should probably expand my interests - and I've tried - but no other artists cut it for me but Big Bang/2NE1 out of K-Pop.

I'm definitely glad they're on a global tour right now, good for them, I'm just jealous that I was unable to see them live so I'm kind of disinterested in it.

Yeah, exactly. I've felt the same way about Big Bang too, but at least with them they had a 2012 release and then GD released his mini-album not too long ago.

I understand it a bit more with Big Bang because I know that Seungri was in Japan doing the variety show/anime/drama thing, Youngbae is recording his new album, Top is filming that Korean drama, and GD has his solo promos or w/e, so they're incredibly busy.

I still miss them though.
