2NE1 is the female Version Of Big Bang. They broke the barriers. They are the original girl crush concept, They are the original monster rookie winning A Daesang 9 months after debuting with I dont care and their success took korea by storm, its just so tragic how they were disbanded but they were the Queen of Kpop.
Yes! Finally!! Thank you! 2ne1 was my first girl group! Also, Teddy is the one behind most of Blackpink's songs. 2ne1 were the pioneers of the girl crush concept. 2ne1 were often called the female Bigbang and they are label siblings so comparison is totally fine.
I wouldn’t say it was a strong “girl crush” concept, since they opted more for breaking girl’s stereotype of being cute and pretty. More like a tomboy style
@💗Ahin💗.. "Tomboy" That's girl crush😅... 2NE1 have a strong GIRL CRUSH cuz 2NE1 music was made for recalling attention of female fans not for male that's why it's called "GIRL CRUSH"(women falling for other women) just look for the lyrics of their songs and you'll understand... Nowadays people misunderstood the meaning of "Girls Crush" cuz actually this concept is not about being sexy its about have attitude😉...these days Girl Crush is mostly "Sexy Crush" that doesn't represent women as "Girls Crush" does🙄
@@bdcmxsyjds8935 EXACLY, i said it’s tomboy because they didn’t have a strong specific concept, since we can see on fire, a concept of street’s and like more dark with these type of teen clothes that where more around teen boys. But we can also see I am the best where they looked for something more futuristic and rude concept but also “elegant”. Tomboy is an unidentified style. The concept it’s not only about the lyrics of your song’s it’s also about your image and how you represent yourself. The first look you give it’s what others will think about, they sing in korean and 5% english, people don’t know what they are saying (foreigners) their first impression is how they look and their talents, not the meaning of their songs
Finally, Queens had landed. There are lot of things I want to say but all I can say is. WATCH THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES YOU'LL KNOW WHY THEY ARE THE QUEENS OF KPOP
my queens 😭 they were my first kpop group, I even have their lightstick tattooed on my leg. I strongly suggest their live performances and acoustic versions
2ne1 is my ultimate girl group. This is the group that really got me into kpop. Well CL did when I found her solo song the baddest female. Now that song was on repeat foe weeks
I haven't even finished watching the video but it's a like for sure. But please, can we appreciate what 2NE1 is? The queens who left the legacy? Thank you, I appreciate it and please that Christmas hat, I'm just loving it.
2ne1 was a breath of fresh air in the kpop scene at that time where girl groups was over saturated with cutesy and sexy concept. They were different and started the girl power / bad bish theme. They were often called ugly but their live performances and stage presence was in a whole different level that made them stand out. It was a shame that YG wasn’t able to protect them.😢
2NE1 had so many easter eggs in their mvs, from actors to models that's why some may seem a bit familiar to you. Both in 'I don't Care' and 'Falling in Love' we see actors and models in the bg. Thank you so so much for reacting to my Queens, they are my ultis when it comes to ggs, and "I am the best' was my introductory song to them. I am telling you when they dropped this people were going wild for the fashion and rightfully so.
Finally yesssss!! Thank you for the reaction RJ❤️ pls also react to their 2015 MAMA performance.They are legend. My favourite song is “if I were you “ and the sketchbook live performance is just chefs kiss!! It’s so good and I’m sure you will love it!
YGE really dropped the ball on 2NE1 tbh…a lot of us was heartbroken because honestly QUEENS!! They were unique, talented af, incredible stage presence, their discography is 🔥🔥, and each member had their own charisma/significance that made the group just AMAZING! They all have amazing vocals too and the again have different tones and colors to it. So you basically got CL right away for the most part of the reaction in the earlier music videos she did have the blonde hair with bangs or darker blonde hair with side bangs. You mentioned that you like her rap flow. The member that usually has short hair in the majority of the 2NE1’s MVs that you will be reacting to is Minzy. As you saw, she is usually in the center of dance breaks or when it’s her part she has her own little freestyle dance. In which is always amazing live!! That woman is an incredible and versatile dancer. But you did pick up on her a lot and said that’s the MAKNAE.. yep…despite her mature dance moves, she was literally like 16-17 years old when she debuted.. some fans Nick named her ERO-maknae..which was kind of weird to me because there is even a fan site called that…the nickname itself doesn’t seem good anyways because the meaning of it. But things hasn’t change..ppl still be normalizing sexualizing idols who are minors..😡 The member who you said had a good voice was of course Queen Bom herself.. she went through a lot of difficult periods of diets and well her appearance. I honestly thought she was super pretty pre-debut. But she did go through plastic surgery which is just sad to me. I can’t imagine the amount of pressure and low self-esteem that some idols go through with expectations and beauty standards. However, Bom is literally such a character though…I love her personality and she’s just so naturally funny. Last but definitely not the least we have the visual queen herself Dara. She was the tiny member with the fit that you really liked in Fire MV. She also has unusual hairstyles in most of he MVs and she has such soft, sweet, but also crisp vocals. She literally doesn’t age..either she’s a vampire or found the foundation of youth. Most of the members are good with speaking English.. and well yeah they’re just awesome! I’m glad that you’re finally checking them out
2ne1 broke the stereotype on korean girlgroups during their debut. Bubblegum pop was the dominant genre in girlgroups at that time but 2ne1 came out with a powerful girl power image. They were the OGs on the girl crush concept. 2ne1 was also OG monster rookies. The group was the first to achieve a perfect all-kill in music charts and the first kpop girl group to do a world tour. Their influence in kpop is so huge and definitely seen in the currwnt kpop scene. Their fashion and music had a great impact in kpop in general.
@@crisllanita2046 but still snsd dominated 2ne1...that's why most 3rd gen ggs debuted with cute concepts... kpop tends to follow concepts which was popular in the previous era/gen...but in 3rd gen bp with thier girl crush dominated so much that most of the ggs after bp debuted with crush concept...
Omg tysm for this😭 just so u know, 2NE1 was never branded to be the visual groups u see now a days, even tho their visuals are stunning! They were branded for being bad ass and hella talented! And thats what stood em apart from the acts back then! They were different and the pioneers of girl crush and bad ass concept u see from almost all the GGs nowadays! If its not for them, i wud not be a kpop stan to start with!
There is no other group like them! They are by far my favorite K-pop girl group to date. Their charisma on stage is insane. You have to watch their performances to understand the difference between them and nowadays girl groups!
2ne1 is my ult group. They can do me no wrong. I recommend their live/stage performances. They all have solo careers and reunited at Coachella this year. Please give them more love. ♠️
UGLY is good too. The visuals are nice. The song is beautiful. Also, to appreciate 2NE1 fully is to know how kpop was when they debuted. Full of beautiful, girly, and feminine cutesy girl groups.
They were so different,they've changed the whole cute and pretty concept for girl groups into cool and badass concept.They are like Bigbang girl version
2ne1 never disappoints its audience. primarily originals, pioneers, inspirations, fashion queens. They do everything untested and feared. In the iamthebest music video you just watched, there was a girl group member wearing a straitjacket and looking bad. right now girl groups look gorgeous in every moment of the videos. They don't have the guts of 2ne1. They have very few songs but they are all hits. Even the worst songs that didn't win awards on competitive music shows in Korea were selling more than the songs that won on the show that month. because they were now global. They have a wide variety of edm, reggae, hiphop, rnb songs of all genres. The sounds are good quality and beautiful. their live performances are world class, they don't playback. If you go to a concert without knowing any of the 2ne1 songs, you'll probably leave with one hundred percent satisfaction. What more can I say? They weren't just a girl group or the best girl group, they were the best in kpop. no matter how famous they are, a group still hasn't come out to 2ne1's standards.
You just heard a hip-hop, pop, rnb & reggae tracks from them. 2ne1 is the most flexible when it comes to genres, that’s why they are called queen of all queens in kpop ❤
I think you’ll love 2NE1’s slower songs. They’re known to deliver great songs with different genres. I suggest the following: Lonely, It hurts, I love you, and Come Back Home.
The 2NE1 song that will change your life is "It Hurts" (Bom did her thing on that) .....the video that was ahead of it's time "Come Back Home".... the concert versions "Crush", "Ugly", "It Hurts", "Can't Nobody" and "If I Were You" (written by CL) are a must watch....the acoustic (yes they did) "Lonely", "I Love You" and "Ugly" are a must watch. Then there is "Clap Your Hands" and "Missing You". They didn't do a video for this song, but "Baby, I Miss You" (written by CL) has an R&B feel to it. In other words, you reacted to the 4 and now you have to react to more in order to really get them. They are not a cookie cutter group. They are the original. Oh, and when you are ready, check out CL solos.
They all were models and rookies actors under YGE or YGE partners back then... Lee Soohyuk is also Dara's love interest in IT HURTS mv😊.. Our Jiyong bestie😌💛
YAYYYYYY!! FINALLY 2NE1!! I hope you will react to : Comeback Home Ugly Missing You I love You If I were You Its Hurt Lonely Next 🤧 THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO 2NE1
They remind you of Bigbang because they're a female version of Bigbang 😄 Your comments about them being "different, influential and not typical" are some of the reasons they were so popular. There were no other groups like Bigbang and 2NE1. They have a lot of deep, emotional songs as well. Ugly and Goodbye are two personal favourites. Can you also do some more Bigbang reactions please.
Yess I was looking forward to this. 2ne1 can be said as 2-n-e-1 or just 21. They're the sister group of bigbang so if you like one's songs, you'll like the other's. Can't wait for you to delve deeper into their music, I think you'll like them! And lmao, yes I think the guy seemed familiar to you because he's an actor you might have seen before! Happy holidys RJ!
You need to react to their ballads too, "Missing You", "Lonely", "If I Were You". 2NE1 were so different from the girl groups of their generation and no other group has quite captured their essence even to this day.
2NE1 is my 1st fave group. They brought me into Kpop. All their title songs are hits & the b-sides are all amazing. No skips on their albums. Teddy Park produced 2NE1s songs & is YGs main producer. I’m still angry with YG for their disbandment. They were at their peak! Recommend Lonely, It Hurts, Missing You, Come Back Home, If I Were You for your next 2NE1 reaction 😊
Finally!!! But both FIRE Space and Street versions were both released at the same time in May 2009. SPACE Ver is my fave tho. I think Street was just reuploaded with higher res. I DONT CARE was such a hit it was No.1 for 9 weeks -- beating out SNSD. They won SONG OF THE YEAR in their debut year in MAMA, the first rookie to win a daesang. 2NE1 are trendsetters, with BIGBANG coming in 2nd. Whatever BB did, 2NE1 had to do it first. 2NE1 wore those Misfits outfits in I AM THE BEST even before BB and most Kpop artists of the time. The 2 guys in FALLING IN LOVE are kdrama actors they are friends with.
Yeesss!!! 2ne1 is my favourite girlgroup of all time!! In the fire street Ver. when u said "who's that?" to was actually Gdragon goofy dancing behind Minzy. He was just having fun. 2ne1 and Bigbang used to train together so they have lots of moments together.
Thank you for reacting to 2NE1😊 they have a lot of good music but if you want to do other reactions I suggest you to watch "I love you", "Come back home", "Ugly", "lonely", and "It hurts"
Finally! This is the OG girl crush/ girl power group of K-pop. To this day, no other K-pop girl group can replace them in my heart! Everybody else wanted to copy them. Even other major girl groups tried their hand on hiphop after 2NE1 became the group to beat. They won so many awards as rookies that people's minds were blown away. They were formed as the female Bigbang, but they made a name for themselves in K-pop that could not be beaten to this day. These are legends that were treated badly by their company. They were still at their peak when their own company turned against them, which eventually led to their sudden disbandment.
I miss them so much. They were my top girl group when I first started listening to KMUSIC in 2010. Unfortunately, YG called them ugly and cancelled them and brought in Blackpink instead. They have been through so much. They deserved better. They are the sister group of Big Bang. They are good friends to this day.
My gosh I'm a huge Armyblink but 2NE1 has no bad songs i mean Evey song weather the b-side or solo they have all good stuff... Crush, goodbye, ugly, Hurt & lonely should be next.... There is no other female idols who can rock the stage with out doing any dance choreography.... I wish i knew thir music when they were together..... I really want to go to their concert so bad....
2ne1 Debuted 2009 and that year FIRE won on MAMA Award as their Best Music Video and I Don’t Care won Song Of the year ❤ and they become Moster Rookies 🎉
FIRE mv CL - the one with something on her belt. MINZY - the short haired one DARA - the one you like her whole outfit. Pink pants. BOM - the one wearing a hoody swimsuit. The voice you like. The guy you said "who's that?"..well, that's GD himself. 🤣🤣🤣
Am I the only one that noticed all the famous actors that appeared in 2NE1's videos before they became famous? I was shocked lol I saw Lee Jong Suk and Lee Soo Hyuk. I'm sure I missed others. I always hear 2NE1's songs, but I haven't watched their videos in a long time. I'm glad I watched this 😊
Finally my queens!!! 2ne1 is my 1st ult gp that took me into kpop! if u explore 2ne1 music, u'll also experience their fashion and unique hair style too! hope u react more of them. They have a lot of high tempo songs but their balled are gold! hope u check out lyrics in ur own time too
Omggg Finally 2NE1!!! 😭 I really miss them so much! They are legends in Kpop history, i'm VIP but i really love 2NE1, they are my favorite Girls group. Their songs, the lyrics, their aesthetics, i really recommend you that you can to react the lyrics too, for example Lonely, Ugly, I dont care, Happy, Missing you, i love all their songs ❣️
the IMPACT 2ne1 had on korean industry and especially for gg is insane, girls basically invented girl crush concept - imagine going from this candy cotton sweet cute concept like gee from girls generation to THIS? yeah i can tell korea was in shock. also, would LOVE to see ur reactions to CL’s solo music bc i think she is an amazing performer artist and a genius musician, and her music is just top tier ✨ highly recommend spicy, hello bi+ches, 5 star and tie a cherry great vid
Thank you so much for checking out 2NE1! Your reactions were fun to watch! Please check out their live performances--stage presence and talent truly shine! Happy Holidays!
I would say 2NE1 is my first kpop i listened to I would say PSY but come on that would be everyone but anyways yeah sadly for me 2 years after I found out about them they disbanded :( they are definitely different that's why I will always love them *IN MY OPINION* Queens of kpop
Oh lord i have a whole list of recommendation when it comes to 2NE1 haha! I wanna list all of them but it's gonna be 5 pages essay. Just one thing, make sure to watch their live performances and b-side tracks too!
2NE1! Back then we're all(mostly) VIPs and Blackjacks! I actually started discovering 2NE1's songs when GD&TOP (Bigbang) was promoting Oh Yeah with Park Bom (the main vocalist of 2NE1). They had a special stage with all 2NE1 members for Oh Yeah too. Btw, 2NE1 can be pronounced as To Anyone or twenty one
In 2NE1, you can recognize who is singing on each part of the song, becoz each of them have unique distinctive voice, even more non blackjacks (2NE1's fandom name) could absolutely recognize the difference. there are not a lot of girlgroups can do that nowdays. But, if you want to see another unique voices for each member on Korean girl groups, you can discover these: ✅MAMAMOO (All of them recognizeable) ✅(G)-IDLE (All of them recognizeable) ✅TWICE (most recognizeable one are Momo, Jihyo, Nayeon, Jihyo, Mina, Jeongyeon) ✅EXID (All of them recognizeable) ✅BLACKPINK (All of them recognizeable) ✅STAYC (most recognizeable are Yoon, J, Isa) ✅4MINUTE (most recognizeable are Jiyoon, Hyuna, Gayoon) ✅SISTAR (most recognizeable are Hyorin, Soyou, Bora) ✅GIRLSDAY (most recognizeable are Sojin, Yura, Minah, but Hyeri could be recognize on rap part only cuz her voice sort of deep like Yura as well) ✅BRAVEGIRLS (the latest line up are recognizeable for each member voice) ✅APINK (most recognizeable one: Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Hayoung).
The all time best GG. Every song is a banger. If you like them at all, you must see their live performances. They are known for their stage presence. I can admit I may be a little bias, as CL is my favorite artist of all time. 👸 👑 ♠️ 👸
You picked a good selection of songs! 2nd generation feels nostalgic for me, I was in middle school when I first found 2ne1. I still consider CL my ULT idol. I'm not sure if you've checked out any of CL's solo work, but I would suggest it highly!
I AM THE BEST mv Did you know, 2NE1 was called SCARY EONNIE (older sis) bcoz of their bad-ass, women empowerment image. KPOP fans were used to the sexy and sweet image of girlgroups, then came 2NE1 who looks domineering. 🤭🤭🤭 And about them breaking CDs, well, 2NE1 won so many awards they broke their own records everytime. That's how famous and influential they are.
2NE1 was my first girl group I stanned, I’ll forever be a blackjack in heart ❤️ no girl group will ever have the same swag, charisma, style they had! They made girl crush a concept in a world of cutesy and sexy ones. Legends ❤ Edit: Teddy Park is a producer in YG, he’s the man behind all the greatest hits of 2NE1 and BLACKPINK (a true genius producer!) and he also worked with iKON and BIGBANG in some of their music. He was in 1TYM which was a hip hop boy group from YG back in the early 2000s, they also had famous hits. Teddy is mainly focusing on working with female groups both in YG and his subsidiary THE BLACK LABEL in which Somi is in it.
haven't even watched the video yet but I GOT TO recommend other songs: If I were you (LIVE), it showcases their vocals and CL wrote it, the translation is beautiful yet sad; It hurts, ugly and lonely. Some sad bops for ya!
I'm so happy that you made a video reaction of 2ne1. The OG girlgroup with girl crush concept. Their song is so catchy and a lot of song have a deep meaning, like "lonely" and "ugly". They're an icon, a pioneer, an artist and many more. Big bang and 2ne1 for4
My 2ne1 loving heart! They will always be my faves. i miss them so much. they left such a void in the world of Kpop. The only thing better than 2ne1 videos are their lives stages, i mean for real! There is no girl group even close to them.
2NE1 is my gateway to Kpop and I still feel sad whenever I remember that they disbanded 😭 But thank you for reacting to them. They have a lot of good songs. You can also watch their live performances.
IMO their best song is "Gotta Be You". Check it out if you are interested. It has a MV here on YT. "I love You" and "Come Back Home" are also highly recommended. :)
This made me so happy. Thank you for finally getting to the OG’s. I cried seeing you love them. Like a LOT of us, 2NE1 was my introduction to kpop and being a blackjack is one of the greatest things to happen to me. Some deepcuts I think you’d enjoy that aren’t their big hits are I Don’t Care (reggae version), Baby I Miss You, Do You Love Me, Crush, and It Hurts. There are good quality videos of them all except BIMY (but that’s my personal favorite 2NE1 song)
"It's been a long time coming but I'm here now!" Fitting for this reaction 😆 2NE1 is the sister of BIGBANG, so this is why you'll have the vibe often between the 2. Also, 2NE1 was created with the concept of "Girl crush..girl power" among the sea of cute concept girl group back then, this is why they blew UP and have so many girl fans (including me). They empower imperfections and makes it bad ass. Once a BLACKJACK always A BLACKJACK 😎😎
Ooooh, 2NE1 was the first girl group I ever followed! I miss them and they really did their own thing. I wish they had been treated better and they had continued together but they are still an inspiration. Check out CL and the group do a surprise performance at MAMA in 2015, just amazing.
I am very happy that you have reacted to 2ne1♠, they are my ultimate girl group, I love them so much, I hope you continue to react to them because there are many incredible songs to listen to both as a group and individually. 🧡💚💛💜
While watching you react to my forever favorite KPOP girl group--2NE1, I was smiling the whole time. If these MV's wowed you, you would be amazed how good they are when performing on stage. Their vocals are sooo good! The song "I Dont't Care" was a phenomenal song that time. And until now, almost every Korean know that song. And it has raggae version of it. They perfrom like they are the baddest bitches but if they sang a ballad song, it's like the guy is the shittiest person in the planet. Like you want to haunt that guy because they hurt 2NE1 to sing like that. hehe Btw, their stylist back then was also the stylist of Katy Perry and Rihanna, I think his name is Jeremy. For the next MV, I would suggest the ff: IF I WERE YOU ( written by CL) GO AWAY CRUSH I LOVE YOU MISSING YOU I DON'T CARE (raggae version) HAPPY MTBD by CL edit: I adding; IT HURTS LONELY I LOVE YOU (with Sung Ha Jung) YOU AND I by Park Bom
In KPOP, BIGBANG is the Fashion King while 2NE1 is the Fashion Queen. Bcoz of these 2 groups, Fashion became big deal. CL is practically the muse of those famous western brands just like GD.
KPOP MV VISUALS heightened bcoz of 2NE1 and BIGBANG. Bcoz of their amazing fashion sense that was used in their mvs. That's why you get to see a lot of mv visuals in kpop nowadays.
