During 'Lonely' at the part where Minzy begins to sing [Eng Translation] "Even though you're beside me, baby I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely, (etc).."

The K-Fans at the concert all turned off their 2NE1 New Evolution light-up sticks and held up (and swayed) posters that read "There are Blackjacks beside you," in response to those lyrics.

This caused CL to cry, as you can see in this video:



So far, this is the only video, so we don't know what the other girls' reactions were, but if you listen closely, as soon as the swaying of the posters begins, Bom's voice cracks in emotion during the chorus.

At 1:30 in the video, CL says "I'm really happy," and is attemping to hold in tears.

Overall, I just thought this was really really sweet of their K-Fans, and wanted to share. : o )

TEARS
TEARS
ON MY FACE
FROM MAH EYES

God I love these girls so much. I'm sad that I can't go see them when they come to NJ, AND I missed them last year when they played NYC because I was at another show. 8|

[ayu_ready?]

I need to be there. on the tour

[tasking]

Omg, CL NEVER cries! T__T

You know, thinking about it, why the hell is 2NE1 doing the tour now when the album's coming out in October? They should've just waited and used the concert to promote it. I honestly can't wait for their Korean album regardless, because... well, I wouldn't say that I'm getting sick of their current songs, but we do need new material, especially since COLLECTION was just Japanese versions of songs already released. I had heard that the girls are releasing the album in a series of singles; not sure how well that's gonna work in comparison to a regular album where one of the selling points is a few new songs in addition to singles... but we'll see.

Like they need the promotion. An their new album is coming out in October because they scraped the singles idea.

New International Trailer for the New Evolution Tour!

[brener]

thaanks!! hope they could come to brazil like bigbang this year *-*

[Ayu_Love]

Have they announced if they are coming to the UK, yet? I really don't want to miss them D: I assume that the tour will go out throughout next year too, and they'll be promoting their album in between?

They've been annoucing everything on their official facebook page. I've been checking daily for updates on the tour and anything else. Heres a link: https://www.facebook.com/#!/2NE1/app_414919681892429

Europe stops havent been added yet, but you can check up frequently here to see when they do.

2NE1 needs to add more US dates if you ask me. The US is a huge country and two dates on the coasts doesn't account for all the fans in the middle of the country. I think they should most definitely add European dates before adding any more in the US, but I hope they eventually visit Las Vegas or San Diego. That would be amazing!

I agree
I can't make it to their other show dates!

And maybe they can come to Canada? I really don't wanna go all the way to California.. I don't have that kinda money..

[Ayu_Love]

^thanks alot! I have them added on Facebook so I'll have to keep an eye out. I would love to go see them, I just hope their tickets aren't too much. D:

[Ayu_Love]

Hopefully they will soon, they may just be doing a few dates now before the mini album release, because they'll be focusing a lot of time on the promotion for that, so maybe they'll upload more dates afterwards so they can concentrate on the tour fully? Just a random thought D:

[Not Fade Away]

^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:

http://ygladies.com/news/120811artic...eed-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.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I think it is partially the price that's keeping them from selling out. I spent A LOT for me & my 2 roommates to get tickets as well as get the transportation to get down to the US for the show. However I still talk to A LOT of people that would love to go but cant afford the
ticket prices. -_-

Other thing I'd like to add concerning the market over here in North America is I also think image and self presentation are part of it. You'd need to act American. It seems like many here don't understand many of the Asian cultures and just don't really care to learn. Very sad, but it seems true.
