the unplugged acoustic stage version is even better. they sang it as remembrance for those that died in the Sewol ferry tragedy 100s of high school students perished. 😭
2NE1 are the true queens of kpop. The gamechangers along with BigBang, the charismatic, female empowering, idgaf group. There will never be another 2NE1.
Korean girl group that pave way for fierce badass swag Korean gg, back then they got a lot of critism for: their face (not Korean standard beauty) they make music 'Ugly' cos of it, dislike cos their music not girly, cute as mostly Korean girls soloist/groups & got hate cos their attitudes fierce, confident, swag...it's really hard that time for us YG's Stan & BlackJack (2NE1 fans).. Thank you for this guys, 2NE1 have lot of strong & great lyrics 🙏
Taking place in a bleak/grey futuristic metropolitan setting, the story is about how society is escaping reality to a Virtual Paradise...Sandara aka. Dara, whom was with her depressed boyfriend, learns that he opted a virtual paradise as a solution..eventually she felt disconnected & out of touch with him, and as a result join forces with CL/Bom/Minzy (other three girls)...These girls are a part of a revolutionary movement that rebels against the idea of virtual reality....During the song when CL raps in the abandoned building, The girls are gathered in the HQ for the rebels, creating & researching a potential chemical weapon that can be transferred to the virtual paradise (you will see also their weapons/gear in the car scene where minzy is at)...In minute 7.20 of your video, the girls are laying down in their VR gear about to enter the virtual paradise to infiltrate & terrorize the system within...At last they have virtually arrived in the white room, they vandalize, destroy, set fire and their chemical smog..soon they make their mark even leading more rebels to join them, until we see that paradise that does get destroyed, melting away into nothingness in the end of the video....So "comeback home" basically means telling them to come back to "reality", kinda like "wake up bitch give me some lovin and get real"...and the breakdown of the part of the song, in my opinion, is kinda like the girls planting and activating a virus to the system...telling people to comeback to their senses, that's why that part sounds somewhat hypnotizing... This was actually a very interesting video and great quality video considered this was done back in 2014, in at least within the k-pop scene at the time, such high production value videos were only affordable to big groups...at the time 2ne1 has already established themselves and they are still one of the many respected k-pop senior girlgroups today...many new groups look up to them, before there was blackpink, there was 2ne1 was emulating the bad-ass girl empowerment concept as oppose to the majority of groups that were either doing very pop, cutesy, innocent,glamorous songs at the time. Also there used to be a trend in k-pop (and still existing) where it feels like many songs/genre being meshed into one single track....i was shocked that somehow this song ties very well together despite the pop meets techno reggaevibes , electro, with rap and accoustic feels...it still ties well...kinda like bohemian rhapsody but in a k-pop take i guess?? if you want to see more of these trends with these multiple song/genre type check out BLACKPINK - WHISTLE & RED VELVET ZIMZALABIM for starters, and just suggestion... the more you pause less, and listen to the song thoroughly, you will feel how its sounds well integrated have fun
In my opinion the song and music video are legendary for story telling. You are able to interpret this song and music video into so many different meanings and that is what I call creativity. You are able to sing this song for a loved one, an ex, a person who's passed away etc. The director said that they live in a future dystopia where there is no so much pollution that normal food is non existent so the pills are used for food, during the first chorus the girls are in the lab creating this food. This relates to the Virtual Paradise where the rich dine on Squid and other rare expensive foods. People are miserable and there was an uprising due to how bad the world was affected so they created the virtual paradise to numb society and keep them in check. The girls want everybody to be accountable to the world they destroyed and think it's everybodies duty to fix the world they live in instead of escaping into this virtual paradise.
It's about today's society how people are more into virtual reality (video games, internet, smartphones etc.) Then the real human connections that are lacking
The mv is set in a futuristic world where people are enjoying the fantasy world more than the real life. Dara is the girl playing the female lead and in love with a man who prefers to live in the fantasy world and that’s why she is heartbroken. So, CL, Bom, Minzy enter to the fantasy world to destroy the world. If you compare this to present day scenario people are more busy in phone and internet rather than having a conversation. So, as per the mv this situation may get worse in future. I think I m explaining it correctly.😂 And you are right. 2NE1’s music sound is timeless n never sounds old. They don’t have a bad song either. Songs those are approx. 9 years 10 years old like Fire, Try to follow me, Can’t nobody are jewels. Thanks guys for the reaction 😊
Hope you can watch more of theeem!! They were called as the QUEENS of KPOP hand in hand with BIGBANG as KINGS topping charts back to back. They are the girl version of BIGBANG, and they have created the girl crush thing and all. Kyaaahh!! ♥♥
2NE1, the Legendary KPOP Group who introduced girl crush to Korean Pop and broke records as they were called monster rookies coz they gathered so many awards after they debut. First Kpop group to have a World Tour. Please react more to their songs! Hoping for their reunion
you could see how 2NE1 has grown so much vocally and music-wise in here compared to the first video you've seen of them which is I Am The Best. This was their best era and sadly the last, its saddening and maddening that they disbanded at this time of their career when they were starting to get a hold of their music identity and artistry. It was evident that they were about to get to a turning point in their career and was about to blow up not just kpop but the whole music industry but we didn't get to see it. We didn't get to witness them at their full potential. They had so much more to offer than what everyone has seen of them. The world was robbed =(
I never been click this fast seeing a 2ne1 reaction from you guys.. And I liked it even I haven’t watch it yet! 🤣 P.S. Where’s the Bigbang marathon? Did I missed it? 🤔 P.P.S. Please react to 2NE1 CRUSH Live from their All or Nothing concert.
Disbanded in 2016, all of the members are still highly respected in the Kpop Idol world. Fortunately they all have had success since the disbanding. There are videos of the respect they are accorded. There are rumors of a reunion/comeback, but one of the issues are contracts. Minzy is trying to get out of her current contract.
The song confronts those who retreat from reality into "Virtual World" or alcohol, drugs, gambling any of the addictions. Causing pain to the ones who love them.
Since u enjoy and love bigbang live performance, i suggested to react queen 2ne1 live stage, : 1. CRUSH live stage 2. I DONT CARE rock version live concert U will know why they called queen 👌
2NE1 Live @Seoul World Cup Stadium 2013 2NE1 2013 MAMA 2NE1 2011 MAMA 2NE1 2010 MAMA 2NE1's MVs UGLY LONELY MISSING YOU I LOVE YOU Klap Ya Handz Follow Me It Hurts CL Solo: +HWA+ +5 Stars+ Lifted MTBD Hello Bitches The Baddest Female Doctor Pepper Dirty Vibe Park Bom Solo You & I Don't Cry Spring 4:44
Imo it doesn't matter whether the drugs were his access to the VR world or whether they were making a comparison between escaping reality through drugs with escaping reality through VR. I thought they made their point. The ending of both the song and the MV left you wanting more, which isn't such a bad thing. You can see why 2NE1 inspired many current girl groups, including Steve's faves Mamamoo. I love their farewell song Goodbye.
So excited I can barely type!! Thank you for reacting to 2NE1!! Please please keep checking them out. Maybe blasphemous to say as a Blackjack but I agree the actual video is ... I dunno... not equal to the greatness of the song? So I'm with ya on that. I think if I keep going you will continue to appreciate them more & more 👍👍
Thank you for reacting to 2ne1!! PLEASE react to their Live Performaces especially their MAMA 2015 Performance (CL+ 2ne1 surprise appearance)🙏🙏🙏 Thank you 👑👑❤️❤️❤️
thats the beauty about art, like this video, its a contained piece, there is a story but the interpretation is up to the beholder, it stands in stark contrast with popculture as it is now, where everything has to be delivered on a silver platter, or through a far reached overarching storyline. my interpretation (and purely from my perspective) its a social commentary drawing parallels between drug abuse (Dopamine fix) and Social Media consumption (also a Dopamine fix), trying to disrupt the state of collectivist pawnage of ones own ability to think as an individual and critically... but thats when I think about it, to be honest I just enjoy the music and the cool video :p

@@waiskuxx cool idea for a video, but I see what I see and interpret from my perspective :) but a visionary director indeed :) and as stated I mainly just enjoy, and I normally consume Kpop through spotify so the visuals are not really there. but thanks for the explanation always nice to learn the amazing thought process that is put in to it :D
BIGBANG's sisters! They are besties especially GD and CL ( and yeah they have perfoemances together and they are like king and queen making you to bend the knee with their swag and chemistry)... Please keep reacting to 2NE1, they are one of a kind and beautiful, they have so much different songs like BIGBANG. Both are great, please keeo reacting to both and their collab!!
3 1/2 is fair. Keep in mind that Korea is a lot more conservative about some things than America, so some topics cannot be shown directly. They have to be approached obliquely or they get censored.
Queens of Kpop, the female BIGBANG, and Kpop Legends
They don't make girl groups like they used to. You gotta listen to the live stages.
You should react to 2NE1’s live performances. If Big Bang are the kings of live performances, 2NE1 are the queens.
the unplugged acoustic stage version is even better. they sang it as remembrance for those that died in the Sewol ferry tragedy 100s of high school students perished. 😭
that stage makes me CRY. The first time I watched it I bawled.
Honestly, after watching that performance when it happened, every time I hear this song, I always think of that tribute
Especially because the tragedy happened shortly after the release of the song. *bows head* R.I.P.
2NE1 are the true queens of kpop. The gamechangers along with BigBang, the charismatic, female empowering, idgaf group. There will never be another 2NE1.

ikr....its been a long way.... I want 2NE1 to comeback home to us BJ!

have fun
2ne1 has a special place in many hearts because they got a lot of people into kpop

Please react more to 2ne1. Especially their live performances. The legend queens! Plus waiting for bigbangathon too! #Blackjack #VIP
I really really hope you watch their live performances!! These queens are unparalleled. Damn even in their dance practices they sing live 😂
The mv is set in a futuristic world where people are enjoying the fantasy world more than the real life.

thank u for reacting to queens of live performances.. can you react to UGLY BY 2NE1
Yes please
you could see how 2NE1 has grown so much vocally and music-wise in here compared to the first video you've seen of them which is I Am The Best. This was their best era and sadly the last, its saddening and maddening that they disbanded at this time of their career when they were starting to get a hold of their music identity and artistry.

you should react to 2ne1 live.! you’ll not get disappointed. Their bigbang female version
The song confronts those who retreat from reality into "Virtual World" or alcohol, drugs, gambling any of the addictions. Causing pain to the ones who love them.
The genius of the ending is that it will forever leave you wanting more.
Pls watch 2ne1 live performance.. I DON'T CARE (ROCK VERSION OR ACOUSTIC VERSION)
Bigbang IF YOU live Please
In addition to singing, dancing and rapping Dara is also an actress.
Since u enjoy and love bigbang live performance, i suggested to react queen 2ne1 live stage, :

This one I've always felt is more of a grows-on-you track & MV.
