What you witnessed here my friend is what the k-pop industry was never able to reproduce. They are the blueprint, the standard for what every k-pop girl group should be. Raw live vocals in every single performance, no loud backtrack, balanced choreographies, and stage presence at it's finest. This group is the best performing k-pop girl group in history. Even if they are in their 40s (except for Minzy and CL) their presence still shakes the room. 2ne1 manages to capture the audience in a way no other k-pop group can. Minzy and CL especially, they are monster performers.
Agreed, i mean the younger generation they're good, but watching their performance it's like watching some kinda AI robotic software that has programmed to do that, yes good dance and all but it doesn't feel alive
Till now? Is it because of Babymonster performance at SBS Gayo? If yes, then I agree. As a blackjack, we kinda have some 'problems' with getting behind Blackpink because a lot of people have the opinion 2ne1 disbanded because of Blackpink. But Babymonster performance makes me remember of old 2ne1.
@ nope. Not even close. I mean, Baemon is really good but their stage presence is still not as impressive as 2ne1. CL's opening greeting is killer, plus Minji's energetic free style dancing and Park Bom's melodious voice. You can see their appearance when they were young. They are truly irreplaceable
@@Oiboi 'when they were young'. That's the point, they aren't young anymore, but still hypnotized the whole stage with their presence. Baemon mayhaps not there yet in your opinion, but for me that's good enough, I knew 2ne1 is unique, too unique to make a copy of. The industry already tried it so many times but there is only one 2ne1.
This was from a few days ago and was basically their first TV appearance after 8 years of being disbanded. Listen to the crowd. That's all you need to know about how popular they are.
@zack_reacts in simple terms....... poorly handled scandals by dim witted management. YG chose to bury 2NE1 and fast track BlackPink. I believe the phrase "I have a great looking jacket. I'm not going to throw it away. It will look good on new people"" was made by the CEO of YG in reference to Blackpink's early style being similar to 2NE1.
@@zack_reacts YG disbanded them and replace them with Blackpink. the members knew about the disband from the internet. YG even said "Blackpink is the pretty version of 2ne1". can u imagine that? YG really did them dirty after what they brought for YG.
@@zack_reacts so yg always viewed them as ugly, nothing compared to the pretty snsd girls (their contemporaries) so he always envisioned a group as pretty as snsd and as talented as 2ne1. Hence the throwing away of 2ne1 and pushing forward with blackpink. Yg released videos of trainees entitled “the next 2ne1” and he named their tour “ all or nothing” so yeah we kinda had a feeling as to what he was going to do.
Bom had a scandal. YG didn’t defend her and just abandoned her. Minzy left the group cause she felt like she was getting the short end of the stick. It was like instead of fighting for the group, YG just abandoned them to start anew with BP.
When they were disbanded, everyone was shocked because they were currently in the prime of their career. so many people, especially blackjacks were saddened and heartbroken. They are very talented, each of them has a beautiful voice and stage presence. they are unique. many loves them. many were also hurt by what happened to them. all their hard work seemed to disappear suddenly. so now that they have formed again, many people were happy, they were missed a lot, so welcoming them back was too much. they deserve that. everyone loves them. besides, they are very good at live performances, you will be really amazed
THE KPOP QUEENS ARE BACK 😭😭🔥🔥, you definitely need to see more of them, they are an extraordinary group, there was no one like them at the time, and they manage to be 1000x better live,They teach the new generation how to make a stage catch fire, and they don't use playback.👑👌🏻
@bjird7278 yep! Incredible, right? Both Dara and Bom debuted kind of later than most Idols in the industry. They were already way over 20, at the time. :)
@@bjird7278 If it makes them happy, sure! But I wouldn't want any of them to just "settle" with anyone, regardless of their ages. They are The Best, so they definitely deserve "The Best". But I do hope that they find happiness and companionship! 😊
2NE1 is the best seller korean girl group in number of records, they sold over 66M records and is the girl group with most #1 songs in korea being 12 in total, they are from the same company as Blackpink that came after then with the same concept in mind.
So, you have: CL: The Leader of the group. She is MOTHER...Queen...She is the Main Rapper, lead vocal, lead dancer, writer, producer. She oozes charisma and she doesn't have to try. Minzy: The Maknae...Dancing Machine..Main dancer, lead vocal, lead rapper. She is a dancing force. She owns her own dance studio Dara: Fake Maknae...Face of the Group...Actress, sub dancer, sub vocalist, sub rapper. She is the voice of the group for interviews etc. Blackjacks call her the Fake Maknae because she looks so young. Bom: The Voice of Korea...A living doll...She can make you laugh without trying. She is the main vocalist. People have said that she is the 6th member of BigBang. G-Dragon has said that if Bom is on a track, it is a hit. I am so glad that they are back. You need to check them out. You will be surprised. They started the "Girl Crush" movement. When YG announced that they were back, YG's stock went up. That is their power. So, go down the 2NE1 hole and enjoy. Oh, and check out their lives.
The thing that cracks me up is the ignorance of whoever asked who's bigger 2NE1 or BlackPink because without YG or 2NE1 (Most likely also BlackPinks Idols that inspired them to sing and dance in the 1st place) there is no BlackPink without them there 1st.
THEY ARE THE QUEENS OF K POP..they change a lot of things in korea and are the queens of perfomance, unique fashion, friendship, carismatic,lyrics, voice, dance ....THE OG
And they are really singing, it’s not a backer track 😊❤️ That takes some balls after such a long hiatus. Great to see them out and doing well! They really paved the way for others ❤️
They are my ult group of all time, boy or girl. This was a music festival with a ton of the top idols performing, usually from current KPOP. 2NE1 is a group from 2009 that had an untimely disbandment. After nearly 10 yrs away, they came back this year and pretty much dominated KPOP again. This stage proved why they're the Phoenixes of KPOP. Note that audience members are not there for the same group, yet everyone was singing along to them. That's the power this group holds. Every girl group you see now that comes out with an edgier and hiphop style have 2NE1 to thank cause they were the revolution for what's now considered "girl crush". A 2NE1 marathon (including solos) is an absolutely must. Plus their live performances cause that's where they shine the best.
Well, this might sound a bit messed up, but their boss (YG aka Yang Hyun-suk) literally said he wanted to debut a "prettier" version of 2NE1, which we now know as BLACKPINK. 2NE1 is known for their fierce music, bold style, and unforgettable live performances. They were the first girl group to introduce the "girl crush" concept, rebelling against the typical "cutesy-pop" sound that was common among 2nd generation girl groups (such as Wonder Girls, Kara, Girls' Generation, 4Minute, and others). You should check out their recent live performance, 2NE1 2024 World Tour "Welcome Back," Day 3 full broadcast in Tokyo, Japan.
"I tried to make the YG version of a girl group like I did with 2NE1. But this time I wanted the girls to look pretty too, with skills." - Yang Hyunsuk
2NE1, especially CL, are swag, charisma and stage command personified. The original girl crush group, the legends, the idols of idols, the group who made kpop internationally known, THE true queens of kpop. Their iconic song I Am The Best describes them perfectly. XG look up to 2NE1, they mention 2NE1 in their documentary and they even did a cover version of I Am The Best at KCON LA 2023.
Babymonster also in their song Dance Challenge were successful in the 2NE1 mesh up I am the Best/Can't Nobody and performed it at 2NE1 Welcome Back Concert in Seoul as a surprise performance they did 2NE1 mesh Up Dance and also Batter Up Extended also the other debut song Sheesh.
Oh my…. You have to check 2ne1 more. Their live performances are crazy. Nobody can replace big bang and 2ne1. Eventhough I have other fave groups, (and now Stray Kids are my Ult) but still nobody can deny the impact that Big Bang and 2Ne1 have in kpop industry.
They are the first girl group Teddy produced for. He wrote all of their songs with CL contributing later. You should check out their videos. They were the pioneers of girl crush and edgy concepts in kpop.
They have the most diverse range of music (Teddy really experimented with their sound LOL) and every song they released for promotion had all kill (topping all korean music charts) effect. They are considered idol of idols as many of the 3rd to 5th gen kpop girl groups look up to them. YG is famous for demanding good live performance from their artists. 2NE1 and BIGBANG were the first groups to tour with live bands. Just a couple rappers that looked up to CL as the standard for charisma and rap style that you may know are Lisa from BP and XG's cocona. They were forced to disband because of the public's criticism over Park Bom using ADHD meds obtained in the US which are illegal in korea. Public opinion changed once they understood her health conditions. They were currently allowed to reunite for a reunion tour just a few months ago. Every show is sold out that's how much public has missed them.
2NE1 are the legends of girl groups! Their debut literally changed the trajectory for K-pop girl groups, shifting from cutesy concepts to fierce, women empowerment themes. Every girl group was modeled after them in some shape or form. They are the blueprint and standard, especially their live performances. Paved the way and thats FACTS. Please react to them more, you wont be disappointed! Their live performances are 100x better than their MVs btw 💯
To impress upon you how amazing this performance is, this is from the end of year music show by MBC, one of the K broadcast stations. They have all the hot new groups here to perform, this isn't just a concert or small scale music show. Those you heard singing along where there to support other groups as well, but because of the huge impact 2NE1 had on the music industry, their songs are well known and sung along by so many! This is even more amazing, because they just came back recently as a group and have been putting on concerts after years of pursuing solo ventures, and yet here they are, just killing the stage, oozing charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent like they've never been gone. Vocals are amazing and live, and they are just one of those groups that younger idols look up to, they are idols of idols. 2NE1 are queens and goddesses, they are the blueprint, they are the ones who paved the way for new generations of girl groups. They are also my ultimate girl group, so yes I am biased. Like others have said, they faced an untimely disbandment that hurt many of us for years! I still can't listen to goodbye without sobbing (it was their last song as a group before disbandment). Please look into their music, some of it is definitely dated, but it's still so good! I recommend watching the mv's for Fire, I am the best, Come back home, I love you, Missing you, Falling in Love, Lonely, can't nobody, and Go away. Please look into live stages too, one of my favorites is If I were you from Yoo Hee Yeols sketchbook. This performance always gets me in my feels. I love them so much and they are still on constant replay for me. Their solos are pretty awesome, You and I by Bom, along with We belong together by big bang feat bom, spring always get me. CL's solos are just amazing and I highly recommend Hello Bi+ches for a performance, and her whole Alpha album. Have fun exploring! btw, the first song was Fire, their debut song. It's fun and catchy, but you can definitely hear the age in it!
They hold the record in SK with the most number 1 female group. What i love about 2ne1 is that they always sing live. They are not choreographed that much but it works. They are so great onstage live. They connect to the audience really well.
2NE1 will always be regarded as the Queens of K-pop. Alongside Big Bang, Girls’ Generation (SNSD), Super Junior (SuJu), PSY, and other iconic 2nd-generation K-pop groups, they helped pave the way for the global success of K-pop. Blackpink looks up to 2NE1 as their seniors and acknowledges them as a major influence, with both groups sharing a similar bold and groundbreaking concept. BTS has expressed their admiration for Big Bang (Kings of Kpop), often referring to them as a major inspiration.
2NE1 are the OG Queens of KPOP! Please do a deep dive and get to know them more. They won't disappoint you - their live performances and stage presence are insane! By the way, Sandara or Dara as we fondly call her is well-loved in the Philippines. I saw you know and have reacted to SB19 - Dara did a song with them for Acer PH called Reset, which Pablo wrote as well. Please check it too when you have time. Looking forward to those reaction videos 😊
At the time of their debut, most girl groups were very bubblegum, with matching outfits on stage and evrything. So when 2NE1 came out, eveen though they weren't the first or only ones to have a unique style, theirs was SO UNIQUE and iconic! They werent trying to be clones on stage, they would come out in different outfits, each showcasing each members personality, they had swag, they had grit, they had crazy good vocals, etc... they hit the ground running and made waves in kpop that affected it's trajectory from then on out!
This group is cool..I love my QUEENS❤❤They are old but still slaying...if disbandment didn't happen they could have been a very big gurl group but anyways they are great...Even if they just walk and sing, sit and sing, people will still pay to see them❤
I saw Babymonster Dance 2NE1 Mesh Up I Am The Best/Can't Nobody performed at 2NE1 Welcome Back Concert in Seoul along with Sheesh and Batter Up extended version. and in Japan again they performed Sheesh there. welcome Back concerts were also in Jakarta,Manilla and Singapore In Manilla they had the health scare with Park Bom she walked offstage and got medical aid
blackpink only popular because of social media hype tbh. I’m not a hater of blackpink but 2ne1 recognized internationally without the help of social media and streaming platforms,all they have is pure sales from their album
Everything’s already said in the comment, but yes they are queens. For MV recos, my favorites are I Love You, Missing You, and the last song in the performance called I Am The Best!!! ❤
Black Pink exists thanks to 2NE1, YG wanted a girl group with "pretty girls" so they would sell a lot, the company CEO would call 2NE1 memberd ugly all the time
CL, the one and only baddest female!! 2NE1 was the group that got me into kpop in 2009 and have been my ult group ever since. Been a Blackjack since the beginning. CL is my fav kpop artist of all time. 2NE1 are your favorite idols idols haha
4:24 they are the seniors of Blackpink. They are from the same company. 2ne1 are 2nd gen kpop gg and BP are 3rd gen. YG disbanded the group in 2016 but they came back recently the group name still with YG but their solo activities are from different agencies. These girls are OG swaggy girl crush.
My first exposure to 2NE1 was the video "Clap Your Hands" which quickly became my favorite song and video. I was heartbroken when they disbanded. Also, the name should be pronounced 21, as CL said at the beginning. That was their original name, but there was another kpop group by that name, so they changed the spelling to 2NE1
I consider them the blueprint, you dont get Blackpink and a lot of modern Kpop groups without an influence of 2NE1. They broke new ground not just in concept but how they promoted their releases. I still think CL is one of my favourite Kpop Idols of all time just on her unapologetic stage presence alone, she performs like a western artist, not the kpop style always sticking to the script never deviating from the choreo or vocal melody. She will switch it up, She plays to a crowd, raw energy, gets the crowd hype, live singing with the mic turned UP, ad-libbing, no performance is vocally identical, it's a kind of stage presence you just can't teach. (but not for lack of every company in Korea desperately trying to over the last decade.) I always said they were one of the few idol groups i would gladly pay to see live. Their group really got done dirty by YG in the final days. YG disbanded the group and put out Blackpink a couple months later. I'll never forget when YG said that he wanted Blackpink to be no different from 2NE1, just prettier. He really threw them under the bus.
This is the OG group that made people notice K-pop. I've heard of these women before even knowing what K-pop even is. XG did a live cover of I'm the Best which is dope and they did their spin on the verse. ruclips.net/video/COOD6LZEPvA/видео.htmlsi=QzU9IZb8ogdgIBq5
Here all their MVs order by release date: Lollipop Fire I Don't Care Clap Your Hands Can't Nobody Go Away Ugly It hurts Follow Me I Am The Best Hate You Don't stop the music Lonely I Love You Falling In Love Do You Love me Missing You Crush Come back Home Gotta be You If I were You Happy Scream
MAMA 2015 has CL and then CL with 2NE1 live. 'Come Back Home unplugged" [resents the song at the memorial service for the Sewol Ferry disaster, 'Clap Your Hands" is mostly rapping, "I Don't Care (rock version) is just fun, "Missing You" and "I Love You" are both excellent. "Crush" live is great. These should give you a little feal for 2NE1's variety.
If you want to see more of CL, you should check out her Killing Verse. It's a small sample of her songs. 2NE1 was still popular when YG pulled the plug to push their younger upcoming group BlackPink.
MVs to reacts to: Fire - street version (their debut song), Come Back Home, Gotta Be You, Missing You, It Hurts and Crush if you have more time check Falling In Love, Clap Your Hands, Cant Nobody, Ugly and Lonely.
I Am The Best was released a year before Gangnam Style in 2011, which was also the time when Psy signed to YG, 2NE1's agency at the time. The sound is very similar because of this. Another similar song of that era is Fantastic Baby by Big Bang, also released in 2012 and another YG staple.
You should definitely watch the MVs for Cant Nobody, Gotta be you, Crush, I love you, Scream, Do You love me and Missing you just some of the great ones!
Well these girls are 2nd generation Kpop (Blackpink is 3rd gen). They are widely considered as Queens of Kpop. They (2ne1 have the same main producer in Teddy Park. They disbanded in 2016 and now they are touring again after so many years.
Blackpink is a girl group after 2ne1 implicitly went on hiatus. Blackpink's rosé singing style resembles that of 2ne1 vocalist Park Bom. YG wanted Blackpink as another 2ne1.
Actually, the roles are similar. Leader(Group representative, rapper): CL, Jennie / Main vocal: Park Bom, Rosé / Visual: Sandara Park, Jisoo / Dance: Minzy, Lisa
They are the deal! This performance was recently broadcasted. Bom and Dara are 40 Minzy is 30 I believe CL is early thirties. CL is the leader. They’re the Best.
YG started K-Pop with Seo taiji and boys mid 1990's after the group ended he formed YG Entertainment and starting with American Hip Hop Rappers Teddy and Danny from America formed the nucleus of the group 1TYM next YG had even more success with Bigbang (Kings of K-Pop) Idols of the idols on the womens side 2NE1 set the world on fire with Their debut song Fire. On the guys side YG wanted another bigbang and so he took 11 trainees and split them into 2 teams A and B of course keeping it simple. The contest was called WIN Team a Won after losing most every round to Team B because of Fan support to become Winner Team B also ended up in another competition called Mix and Match they started by adding 3 newbies to the already solid group to shake things up only 1 made the group to become iKon. meanwhile on the Girls side BlackPink 7 years after 2NE1 took over the world in the tune of over 300,000,000,000 followers and getting in Guiness world book of records in the process and passing Spice Girls on the way becoming the most popular guy or Girl group in the world no ifs ands or buts. Even now doing solo work they have had impacts as Jisoo Flower/Lisa Rockstar,Money,New Woman,& Moonlit Floor/Jennie You & Me/Mantra/Zico & Jennie SPOT! The Weekend featuring Lily-Rose Depp & Jennie Kim One of the girls/ Rose Number one hit with APT,also Number One Girl,Gone,On The Ground, & Toxic till the End. To get on with it AKMU a brother and Sister (Akdong Musicians) and independant artist Psy went strong especially Psy Gangham Style. Lastly but far from least the 2 current newbies at YG on the Guys side Treasure with hits called Kink Kong/Hello/ VolKno/ & BONA BONA/ and the Baby of the group at YG Family is Babymonster who after debuting released the EP BABYMONS7ER with hits like Sheesh/Like That/Batter Up/Stuck In The Middle/Dream and then in late October after about a year almost of Batter Up released Clik Clak 3 days early like the 4 month early Forever different from every BM song so far and DRIP also on November 1 in Korea Halloween in the US was released with the album 7 new song Forever released in June and Batter Up (Remix EDM) lastly December 16 the b-side Love in my Heart was released and like all the MV.s and Like That Performance Video's that topped 100,000,000 views is well on the way there over 40,000,000 so far. ]:) quick YG History!
also Chiquita youngest and Maknae of Babymonster was born the year 2NE1 debuted also NO!!!!!! that wasn't Come Back Home That was Fire going into I Don;t Care like Come Back Home was only a teaser leading into I am the Best the one in Korean writing
2 of the members are currently in their 40s and are still singing and dancing fantastically and all of them are considered veterans of the industry! Most of their discography are hits and they have dabbled in a pretty wide range of styles, from hip hop to reggae to ballads, I personally prefer watching their live performances (inkigayo ones) as to their MVs as it allows their personalities to shine more. (but I AM THE BEST MV is a blast). It was interesting that you had highlighted that the tracks sound like from their an older era (never occurred to me cos I kinda stopped listening to new Kpop after they got disbanded :'( ) but yes, as a 90s kid their songs hit home for me... They were even supposed to release a US album in collaboration with Will I am but for unknown reasons many of their tracks had not been released to the public. If you enjoy 2NE1 do also check out 2NE1 TV which showcases many of the BTS and it shows another side of the girls (why many fans love their personalities) :) They are currently on a come back world tour and have had mostly sold out shows at every venue :D
2NE1 (21) 2nd Generation Kpop girl group. They are the Queens of attitude. They write Ugly because they didn't fit the 'pretry' look of Kpop girl groups. Even YG called them Ugly Their fandom is BlackJacks CL has done work with Pharell. She's the boss. Dara is an big actress in the Philippines. She's the visual Park Bom - Vocals Minzy - the dancer the Maknae (youngest) BP and 2NE1 are YG entertainment groups. You can check out the whole issues there.
Also their fans varies and not only boys. But they are also a Girl Crush group... Nobody like them nowadays.. YG debut BP to be as like Bigbang or 2NE1 but performing on stage those legends are still in the top of pyramid even with the current generation of idols... Stage presence nobody has like them until now. Just my opinion.. Been watching different groups live but they really hit different on stage.. ❤❤❤ 1st and 2nd gen are the best of quality and total package group for me...
just so you know When the girls debut it was very different type of world.. People expected them to fail but did not. Dara and Bom were considered really old at the time of their debut was Minzy literally a kid and CL was considered edgy and not your typical pretty bubble gum pop k-pop idol. They broke every record and possible barrier they faced. Unfortunately The Music overlords of the US did not Like Girl Groups this is pretty evident as girl band like 2ne1 and Little Mix from the UK were not given their due in terms of acknowledging their success and impact.
Bigbang and 2ne1 made YG one of the Big 3 . The company was not doing very well financiary back then and so no new groups BlackPink included would exist today because YG woud gave gone banckrupt without the masive success of BB and 2me1 . The 2 groups shook the entire industry and challenged what image people had of idols. Girl groups were expected to be cute and nice but 2ne1 brought girl power and made girl crush concept popular . I hope you also watch GDragon and CL perform together. The power male -female duo of kpop .

This comment was spot on!
What does them being forty have to do with them being great performers? Their age is irrelevant to that
@ spot on comment!!! ( ionut vreau sa fim prieteni pt comentu ala haha )
2ne1 has gone through 3 generations, but no one can beat their live performance until now. This is truly a saddest for the Kpop industry!
True
Agreed, i mean the younger generation they're good, but watching their performance it's like watching some kinda AI robotic software that has programmed to do that, yes good dance and all but it doesn't feel alive

yes thats very true! not a shade but its just purely facts, they were molded after 2ne1’s formula after all
@@tofucookiemilothey weren’t molded after as as yg has diff team for future 2ne1
THEY ARE THE QUEENS OF K POP..they change a lot of things in korea and are the queens of perfomance, unique fashion, friendship, carismatic,lyrics, voice, dance ....THE OG
한마디로 정의 할게요 그녀들은 대한민국의 대표하던 걸그룹이며 전설이다
2ne1 are legends that YG Entertainment first created, then Blackpink came after, and now Babymonster ✨️
And they are really singing, it’s not a backer track 😊❤️ That takes some balls after such a long hiatus.
Great to see them out and doing well! They really paved the way for others ❤️
They are my ult group of all time, boy or girl. This was a music festival with a ton of the top idols performing, usually from current KPOP. 2NE1 is a group from 2009 that had an untimely disbandment. After nearly 10 yrs away, they came back this year and pretty much dominated KPOP again. This stage proved why they're the Phoenixes of KPOP. Note that audience members are not there for the same group, yet everyone was singing along to them. That's the power this group holds. Every girl group you see now that comes out with an edgier and hiphop style have 2NE1 to thank cause they were the revolution for what's now considered "girl crush". A 2NE1 marathon (including solos) is an absolutely must. Plus their live performances cause that's where they shine the best.
Well, this might sound a bit messed up, but their boss (YG aka Yang Hyun-suk) literally said he wanted to debut a "prettier" version of 2NE1, which we now know as BLACKPINK.
2NE1 is known for their fierce music, bold style, and unforgettable live performances. They were the first girl group to introduce the "girl crush" concept, rebelling against the typical "cutesy-pop" sound that was common among 2nd generation girl groups (such as Wonder Girls, Kara, Girls' Generation, 4Minute, and others).
You should check out their recent live performance, 2NE1 2024 World Tour "Welcome Back," Day 3 full broadcast in Tokyo, Japan.
"I tried to make the YG version of a girl group like I did with 2NE1. But this time I wanted the girls to look pretty too, with skills." - Yang Hyunsuk
2NE1, especially CL, are swag, charisma and stage command personified. The original girl crush group, the legends, the idols of idols, the group who made kpop internationally known, THE true queens of kpop. Their iconic song I Am The Best describes them perfectly. XG look up to 2NE1, they mention 2NE1 in their documentary and they even did a cover version of I Am The Best at KCON LA 2023.
Babymonster also in their song Dance Challenge were successful in the 2NE1 mesh up I am the Best/Can't Nobody and performed it at 2NE1 Welcome Back Concert in Seoul as a surprise performance they did 2NE1 mesh Up Dance and also Batter Up Extended also the other debut song Sheesh.
Oh my…. You have to check 2ne1 more. Their live performances are crazy. Nobody can replace big bang and 2ne1. Eventhough I have other fave groups, (and now Stray Kids are my Ult) but still nobody can deny the impact that Big Bang and 2Ne1 have in kpop industry.
They are the first girl group Teddy produced for. He wrote all of their songs with CL contributing later. You should check out their videos. They were the pioneers of girl crush and edgy concepts in kpop.
yeppers and Teddy and Danny of 1TYM YG invited to Korea from America explaining the fascination with American Rap/Hip Hop and R&B and Reggea music
They have the most diverse range of music (Teddy really experimented with their sound LOL) and every song they released for promotion had all kill (topping all korean music charts) effect. They are considered idol of idols as many of the 3rd to 5th gen kpop girl groups look up to them. YG is famous for demanding good live performance from their artists. 2NE1 and BIGBANG were the first groups to tour with live bands. Just a couple rappers that looked up to CL as the standard for charisma and rap style that you may know are Lisa from BP and XG's cocona. They were forced to disband because of the public's criticism over Park Bom using ADHD meds obtained in the US which are illegal in korea. Public opinion changed once they understood her health conditions. They were currently allowed to reunite for a reunion tour just a few months ago. Every show is sold out that's how much public has missed them.
2NE1 are the legends of girl groups! Their debut literally changed the trajectory for K-pop girl groups, shifting from cutesy concepts to fierce, women empowerment themes. Every girl group was modeled after them in some shape or form. They are the blueprint and standard, especially their live performances. Paved the way and thats FACTS.
Please react to them more, you wont be disappointed! Their live performances are 100x better than their MVs btw 💯
2NE1 basically had hella aura and stage presence
Whereas newer groups try to use visuals to fake the aura presence
To impress upon you how amazing this performance is, this is from the end of year music show by MBC, one of the K broadcast stations. They have all the hot new groups here to perform, this isn't just a concert or small scale music show. Those you heard singing along where there to support other groups as well, but because of the huge impact 2NE1 had on the music industry, their songs are well known and sung along by so many! This is even more amazing, because they just came back recently as a group and have been putting on concerts after years of pursuing solo ventures, and yet here they are, just killing the stage, oozing charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent like they've never been gone. Vocals are amazing and live, and they are just one of those groups that younger idols look up to, they are idols of idols.
2NE1 are queens and goddesses, they are the blueprint, they are the ones who paved the way for new generations of girl groups. They are also my ultimate girl group, so yes I am biased. Like others have said, they faced an untimely disbandment that hurt many of us for years! I still can't listen to goodbye without sobbing (it was their last song as a group before disbandment). Please look into their music, some of it is definitely dated, but it's still so good! I recommend watching the mv's for Fire, I am the best, Come back home, I love you, Missing you, Falling in Love, Lonely, can't nobody, and Go away. Please look into live stages too, one of my favorites is If I were you from Yoo Hee Yeols sketchbook. This performance always gets me in my feels. I love them so much and they are still on constant replay for me. Their solos are pretty awesome, You and I by Bom, along with We belong together by big bang feat bom, spring always get me. CL's solos are just amazing and I highly recommend Hello Bi+ches for a performance, and her whole Alpha album. Have fun exploring!
btw, the first song was Fire, their debut song. It's fun and catchy, but you can definitely hear the age in it!
They hold the record in SK with the most number 1 female group. What i love about 2ne1 is that they always sing live. They are not choreographed that much but it works. They are so great onstage live. They connect to the audience really well.
2NE1 will always be regarded as the Queens of K-pop. Alongside Big Bang, Girls’ Generation (SNSD), Super Junior (SuJu), PSY, and other iconic 2nd-generation K-pop groups, they helped pave the way for the global success of K-pop.
Blackpink looks up to 2NE1 as their seniors and acknowledges them as a major influence, with both groups sharing a similar bold and groundbreaking concept.
BTS has expressed their admiration for Big Bang (Kings of Kpop), often referring to them as a major inspiration.
Finally YG used his brain cells and brought them back
actually CL made it all happen YG wouldn't be good for that
@@MariaEduarda-sy6mm i know, CL and the members always wanted to come back but if YG didn't accept nothing of that could happen
@@AAAaaaAAAaaa160marketing strategy…cause YG was falling
@@bucurlaura5012 yup... that's also true😂

2NE1 are the OG Queens of KPOP! Please do a deep dive and get to know them more. They won't disappoint you - their live performances and stage presence are insane!
By the way, Sandara or Dara as we fondly call her is well-loved in the Philippines. I saw you know and have reacted to SB19 - Dara did a song with them for Acer PH called Reset, which Pablo wrote as well. Please check it too when you have time.
Looking forward to those reaction videos 😊
At the time of their debut, most girl groups were very bubblegum, with matching outfits on stage and evrything. So when 2NE1 came out, eveen though they weren't the first or only ones to have a unique style, theirs was SO UNIQUE and iconic! They werent trying to be clones on stage, they would come out in different outfits, each showcasing each members personality, they had swag, they had grit, they had crazy good vocals, etc... they hit the ground running and made waves in kpop that affected it's trajectory from then on out!
40 is waving but they still have it... so happy 2nd gen finally back.. worth to wait❤
And they inspired other 2nd gen groups to comeback... ❤❤
Clap your hands!!! Fire 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This group is cool..I love my QUEENS❤❤They are old but still slaying...if disbandment didn't happen they could have been a very big gurl group but anyways they are great...Even if they just walk and sing, sit and sing, people will still pay to see them❤
XG’s Maya once said they look up to 2NE1 and want to be like them! 2NE1 and XG are my fav GGs ever
Remember XG did a tribute cover I AM THE BEST when they did that killer dance choreo live at KCON in L.A.
I saw Babymonster Dance 2NE1 Mesh Up I Am The Best/Can't Nobody performed at 2NE1 Welcome Back Concert in Seoul along with Sheesh and Batter Up extended version. and in Japan again they performed Sheesh there. welcome Back concerts were also in Jakarta,Manilla and Singapore In Manilla they had the health scare with Park Bom she walked offstage and got medical aid
Im Filipina My first KPOP 2NE1 my idols and QUEENS CL BOM DARA MINZY eversince nung kabataan ko pa❤❤❤
나는 한국인이다 여자 kpop의 1위는 단연코 2ne1이다.
Omg! Please react their CRUSH live performance. U will love it!!
blackpink only popular because of social media hype tbh. I’m not a hater of blackpink but 2ne1 recognized internationally without the help of social media and streaming platforms,all they have is pure sales from their album
PARK BOM IS AMAZING!!!
Must be check 2NE1’s “Crush” live performance ,amazing performance 🎉
Everything’s already said in the comment, but yes they are queens. For MV recos, my favorites are I Love You, Missing You, and the last song in the performance called I Am The Best!!! ❤
Black Pink exists thanks to 2NE1, YG wanted a girl group with "pretty girls" so they would sell a lot, the company CEO would call 2NE1 memberd ugly all the time
CL, the one and only baddest female!! 2NE1 was the group that got me into kpop in 2009 and have been my ult group ever since. Been a Blackjack since the beginning. CL is my fav kpop artist of all time. 2NE1 are your favorite idols idols haha
The Queens of K-Pop. They are legends along with SNSD.
More of 2ne1 please! I AM THE BEST OR FIRE
4:24 they are the seniors of Blackpink. They are from the same company. 2ne1 are 2nd gen kpop gg and BP are 3rd gen. YG disbanded the group in 2016 but they came back recently the group name still with YG but their solo activities are from different agencies. These girls are OG swaggy girl crush.
My first exposure to 2NE1 was the video "Clap Your Hands" which quickly became my favorite song and video. I was heartbroken when they disbanded. Also, the name should be pronounced 21, as CL said at the beginning. That was their original name, but there was another kpop group by that name, so they changed the spelling to 2NE1
2ne1 is the legendary kpop girl group❤❤❤❤
They are The GOATS! THE OG YG FAMILY👑🍒💕
I personally love CL she’s my bias!
Come back home, i am the best, gotta be you, ugly, go away, lonely, missing you, here the list of mv you should check out
I consider them the blueprint, you dont get Blackpink and a lot of modern Kpop groups without an influence of 2NE1. They broke new ground not just in concept but how they promoted their releases. I still think CL is one of my favourite Kpop Idols of all time just on her unapologetic stage presence alone, she performs like a western artist, not the kpop style always sticking to the script never deviating from the choreo or vocal melody. She will switch it up, She plays to a crowd, raw energy, gets the crowd hype, live singing with the mic turned UP, ad-libbing, no performance is vocally identical, it's a kind of stage presence you just can't teach. (but not for lack of every company in Korea desperately trying to over the last decade.) I always said they were one of the few idol groups i would gladly pay to see live.
Their group really got done dirty by YG in the final days. YG disbanded the group and put out Blackpink a couple months later. I'll never forget when YG said that he wanted Blackpink to be no different from 2NE1, just prettier. He really threw them under the bus.
U shoulf react their live performance maybe crush or i dont care rock version,,u gonna love it,,that crazy performance😂
This is the OG group that made people notice K-pop. I've heard of these women before even knowing what K-pop even is. XG did a live cover of I'm the Best which is dope and they did their spin on the verse. ruclips.net/video/COOD6LZEPvA/видео.htmlsi=QzU9IZb8ogdgIBq5
Here all their MVs order by release date:

New subscriber here from 2ne1 die hard fans forever 🔥💯💕
They are the OG Queen of Kpop period
2ne1 is the legend
2NE1 IS THE QUEEN OF LIVE PERFORMANCES!! 💟✨
Please go check out all the MVs. They are Queens and the last song came out before Gangnam Style
MAMA 2015 has CL and then CL with 2NE1 live. 'Come Back Home unplugged" [resents the song at the memorial service for the Sewol Ferry disaster, 'Clap Your Hands" is mostly rapping, "I Don't Care (rock version) is just fun, "Missing You" and "I Love You" are both excellent. "Crush" live is great. These should give you a little feal for 2NE1's variety.
They are the BEST before The Rest
If you want to see more of CL, you should check out her Killing Verse. It's a small sample of her songs. 2NE1 was still popular when YG pulled the plug to push their younger upcoming group BlackPink.
Can’t describe my love for 2ne1😭 thank you for reacting!!!
You definitely have to check them out!!
My favorite 2NE1 songs are Falling In Love/It Hurts/Come Back Home (the whole song) and Missing You
MVs to reacts to: Fire - street version (their debut song), Come Back Home, Gotta Be You, Missing You, It Hurts and Crush if you have more time check Falling In Love, Clap Your Hands, Cant Nobody, Ugly and Lonely.
You should check out the music videos for "Fire", "I Don't Care", "Can't Nobody" and "I Am The Best"
I Am The Best was released a year before Gangnam Style in 2011, which was also the time when Psy signed to YG, 2NE1's agency at the time. The sound is very similar because of this. Another similar song of that era is Fantastic Baby by Big Bang, also released in 2012 and another YG staple.
Fire was in 2009 their debut song
Reynas 💞
They are the female version of big bang!!!❤❤❤
You should definitely watch the MVs for Cant Nobody, Gotta be you, Crush, I love you, Scream, Do You love me and Missing you just some of the great ones!
Their intro song was Come Back Home, the first song they actually sang and performed here is Fire.
If I can expect to watch out for more 2ne1 content from you then color me subscribed
If you want to discover a whole new universe of Kpop music, check out more 2nd gen groups.
9:20 yes it has the same vibe as Gangnam Style because Gangnam Style was produced by YG at that time.
This is snappy!💜💜💜
Elas são icônicas.
Well these girls are 2nd generation Kpop (Blackpink is 3rd gen). They are widely considered as Queens of Kpop. They (2ne1 have the same main producer in Teddy Park. They disbanded in 2016 and now they are touring again after so many years.
살아있는 전설 그 잡채.
Blackpink is a girl group after 2ne1 implicitly went on hiatus. Blackpink's rosé singing style resembles that of 2ne1 vocalist Park Bom. YG wanted Blackpink as another 2ne1.
Actually, the roles are similar.
Leader(Group representative, rapper): CL, Jennie / Main vocal: Park Bom, Rosé / Visual: Sandara Park, Jisoo / Dance: Minzy, Lisa
2ne1 is the best blackpink is not talent. Cant sing live
The voice of Bom is unique
They are the deal! This performance was recently broadcasted. Bom and Dara are 40 Minzy is 30 I believe CL is early thirties. CL is the leader. They’re the Best.
𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙈 𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙆𝙄𝘿𝙎 𝙃𝙊𝙒 𝙄𝙏’𝙎 𝘿𝙊𝙉𝙀!🙌🔥
You should watch their MAMA performance
Lonely and I love you are good too
They are the OG YG girl group.
two of them are already 40 years old...
YG started K-Pop with Seo taiji and boys mid 1990's after the group ended he formed YG Entertainment and starting with American Hip Hop Rappers Teddy and Danny from America formed the nucleus of the group 1TYM next YG had even more success with Bigbang (Kings of K-Pop) Idols of the idols on the womens side 2NE1 set the world on fire with Their debut song Fire. On the guys side YG wanted another bigbang and so he took 11 trainees and split them into 2 teams A and B of course keeping it simple. The contest was called WIN Team a Won after losing most every round to Team B because of Fan support to become Winner Team B also ended up in another competition called Mix and Match they started by adding 3 newbies to the already solid group to shake things up only 1 made the group to become iKon. meanwhile on the Girls side BlackPink 7 years after 2NE1 took over the world in the tune of over 300,000,000,000 followers and getting in Guiness world book of records in the process and passing Spice Girls on the way becoming the most popular guy or Girl group in the world no ifs ands or buts. Even now doing solo work they have had impacts as Jisoo Flower/Lisa Rockstar,Money,New Woman,& Moonlit Floor/Jennie You & Me/Mantra/Zico & Jennie SPOT! The Weekend featuring Lily-Rose Depp & Jennie Kim One of the girls/ Rose Number one hit with APT,also Number One Girl,Gone,On The Ground, & Toxic till the End. To get on with it AKMU a brother and Sister (Akdong Musicians) and independant artist Psy went strong especially Psy Gangham Style. Lastly but far from least the 2 current newbies at YG on the Guys side Treasure with hits called Kink Kong/Hello/ VolKno/ & BONA BONA/ and the Baby of the group at YG Family is Babymonster who after debuting released the EP BABYMONS7ER with hits like Sheesh/Like That/Batter Up/Stuck In The Middle/Dream and then in late October after about a year almost of Batter Up released Clik Clak 3 days early like the 4 month early Forever different from every BM song so far and DRIP also on November 1 in Korea Halloween in the US was released with the album 7 new song Forever released in June and Batter Up (Remix EDM) lastly December 16 the b-side Love in my Heart was released and like all the MV.s and Like That Performance Video's that topped 100,000,000 views is well on the way there over 40,000,000 so far. ]:) quick YG History!
Please check out their music video. You can start from "Come Back Home"
also Chiquita youngest and Maknae of Babymonster was born the year 2NE1 debuted also NO!!!!!! that wasn't Come Back Home That was Fire going into I Don;t Care like Come Back Home was only a teaser leading into I am the Best the one in Korean writing
the other songs I Don't Care/Fire/I Am The Best are also amazing MV's I never got much into UGLY though to be honest
We love park boom ❤
React more 2NE1 PLEASEEEE!!! ❤️🔥
2 of the members are currently in their 40s and are still singing and dancing fantastically and all of them are considered veterans of the industry! Most of their discography are hits and they have dabbled in a pretty wide range of styles, from hip hop to reggae to ballads, I personally prefer watching their live performances (inkigayo ones) as to their MVs as it allows their personalities to shine more. (but I AM THE BEST MV is a blast).
It was interesting that you had highlighted that the tracks sound like from their an older era (never occurred to me cos I kinda stopped listening to new Kpop after they got disbanded :'( ) but yes, as a 90s kid their songs hit home for me... They were even supposed to release a US album in collaboration with Will I am but for unknown reasons many of their tracks had not been released to the public. If you enjoy 2NE1 do also check out 2NE1 TV which showcases many of the BTS and it shows another side of the girls (why many fans love their personalities) :)
They are currently on a come back world tour and have had mostly sold out shows at every venue :D
2NE1 (21) 2nd Generation Kpop girl group. They are the Queens of attitude. They write Ugly because they didn't fit the 'pretry' look of Kpop girl groups. Even YG called them Ugly
Their fandom is BlackJacks
CL has done work with Pharell. She's the boss.
Dara is an big actress in the Philippines. She's the visual
Park Bom - Vocals
Minzy - the dancer the Maknae (youngest)
BP and 2NE1 are YG entertainment groups. You can check out the whole issues there.
Also their fans varies and not only boys. But they are also a Girl Crush group... Nobody like them nowadays.. YG debut BP to be as like Bigbang or 2NE1 but performing on stage those legends are still in the top of pyramid even with the current generation of idols... Stage presence nobody has like them until now. Just my opinion.. Been watching different groups live but they really hit different on stage.. ❤❤❤ 1st and 2nd gen are the best of quality and total package group for me...
just so you know When the girls debut it was very different type of world.. People expected them to fail but did not. Dara and Bom were considered really old at the time of their debut was Minzy literally a kid and CL was considered edgy and not your typical pretty bubble gum pop k-pop idol. They broke every record and possible barrier they faced. Unfortunately The Music overlords of the US did not Like Girl Groups this is pretty evident as girl band like 2ne1 and Little Mix from the UK were not given their due in terms of acknowledging their success and impact.
Bigbang and 2ne1 made YG one of the Big 3 . The company was not doing very well financiary back then and so no new groups BlackPink included would exist today because YG woud gave gone banckrupt without the masive success of BB and 2me1 . The 2 groups shook the entire industry and challenged what image people had of idols. Girl groups were expected to be cute and nice but 2ne1 brought girl power and made girl crush concept popular . I hope you also watch GDragon and CL perform together. The power male -female duo of kpop .
PLEASE DO A 2NE1 DEEP DIVE
In the Club was CL's favorite 2ne1 song
