2009 in 31 Days : To Anyone

#19 YG Rookie, 2NE1

The label that brought us Big Bang. YG announced the female version of Big Bang will debut this year. YG Family fans are excited for a new addition and before debuting the group has already creating buzz from media.

Starting from their group names, initially YG wanted to name them "To Anyone" but unfortunately it's taken, "21" is also taken so hence "2NE1" which kind of sound like "To Anyone". 2NE1 fans are called "Blackjack".

Let me brief a little history about YG Entertainment. YGE is famous for recruiting "ugly" trainees citing talent is their priority rather than looks. For example Big Mama is probably the only group that are a little heavier than average singers. Check out the video below.



As you can see the videos, Pretty faces lip-sync upfront but the real singers are at the back bring a meaning that the industry is all about pretty faces instead of talent. K movies fans might also recognize this kind of scene in "200 Pounds Beauty".

With members like CL (the leader) and Minzy, YG remains the same and no doubt they are talented. (CL and Minzy are more beautiful than me, ok? don't bash me!) CL have an impressive background because she can speak Korean, English, French and Chinese fluently! Did I mention she's superb rapper? Minzy grandmom is a dancer and looks like she inherited it!



V.I.P.s know Park Bom well as she was featured in two Big Bang song, I love her vocals and she's my favourite member! It didn't register to me at first but I realize Bom and Dara are old when compared to Minzy who's ten years younger! 84 Babies are sure talented people eh? Dara, need no introduction is a Star from the Philippines and ever since she arrived in Korea industry, it's obvious she knows how to grab attention!



They debuted by singing a CF song "Lollipop" with Big Bang members and later on release "Fire". 2NE1 finally secures their place in the industry by releasing "I Don't Care".

YG is doing great with girls since 2NE1 as individual is already superb, members did solo works as well







Got lots more to tell and I can go on and on but it's too much work =.= This is just a few highlight only for this year! 2009 looking good for the girls!
