2NE1 (Korean: 투애니원; RR: Tuaeniwon, IPA: [tʰu.ɛ.ni.wʌn]) was a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment, which was active between 2009 and 2016. The group was composed of four members: Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy.

The group was introduced in March 2009 after appearing on the promotional single "Lollipop" alongside labelmate Big Bang. 2NE1 rose to prominence with the release of their debut extended play 2NE1 (2009), which featured the singles "Fire" and "I Don't Care". The latter was named the Mnet Asian Music Award for Song of the Year, making 2NE1 the first idol group to receive a daesang (grand prize) in the same year of debut. They followed up their debut EP with their first studio album, To Anyone (2010), and their second EP; the latter produced four chart-topping singles including Bom's "Don't Cry", "Lonely", "I Am the Best" and "Ugly". Considered the first world tour by a K-pop girl group, their New Evolution Global Tour visited eleven cities in seven countries in Asia and North America in 2012,[6] and their show at the Prudential Center in New Jersey was named the second best concert of the year by The New York Times.

2NE1 released their final studio album, Crush, in 2014—it was the first album by a Korean artist to break into the top 100 of the US Billboard 200 (debuting at number 61)[7] and remained the highest charting Korean album for over two years. By the end of 2014, 2NE1 amassed a total of nine number-one songs on the Gaon Digital Chart (the most of any idol group then). After a period of group hiatus, Minzy announced her departure from 2NE1 in April 2016,[8] while YG Entertainment announced that the other three members had disbanded that November.[9] Their final single, "Goodbye", was recorded as a trio and was released in January 2017. In April 2022, 2NE1 performed for the first time since their disbandment at the Coachella festival as a surprise reunion, which was named by several publications as one of the year's best performances at the festival.

The group won numerous accolades throughout their career, including nine Melon Music Awards, eleven Cyworld Digital Music Awards, ten Mnet Asian Music Awards, and were the first artist to receive all three grand prizes at the latter by their second year. The group has sold 66 million records worldwide which makes them one of the best-selling girl groups of all time.[10][11]

History

2008–2010: Early work, debut and commercial success

 
2NE1 promoting their debut EP, 2009

In May 2008, reports began circulating in South Korean media about the potential lineup of YG Entertainment's upcoming girl group, then dubbed "female Big Bang".[14] On May 19, the agency said that Park Bom and CL—who had both previously made appearances in the music scene—along with Minzy would be part of the new group, with the additional possibility of Sandara Park joining the final lineup.[15] In early 2009, YG officially confirmed that the four members would debut as part of a group in May of that year, making them the first girl group to debut under the agency since Big Mama in 2003.[16] The company stated that they had trained for four years and that their debut album would contain songs produced by former 1TYM leader Teddy Park.[16][17][18]

2NE1's first extended play (EP), 2NE1 (2009), was preceded by two singles. The first, "Lollipop", was recorded with labelmate Big Bang and released on March 27, 2009, to promote the LG Cyon phone.[16] Although a music video was filmed,[19] "Lollipop" was not promoted because of its product advertising; this created issues with its eligibility to enter the music charts in South Korea.[20] The second single, "Fire", was written and produced by 1TYM's Teddy Park.[21] The single, featuring elements of hip-hop and reggae, was released in May.[22] Two music videos for "Fire" were released: a "space" version and a "street" version.[23] Within 24 hours of the single's release, both videos each accumulated over one million views—a feat that "has never been seen before."[24] "Fire" and "2NE1" subsequently became popular online search terms.[25] The final single, "I Don't Care", was released alongside their first eponymous EP in July. Promotional activities that followed demonstrated a softer, more feminine image for the group that contrasted the edgier tone conveyed in "Fire".[26] "I Don't Care" was the most-downloaded song that month, and the music platform Bugs later named it the most-downloaded song of the year. It topped the platform's chart, with four of the group's other songs tracking in the top 100, making 2NE1 the group with the most top-100 songs on Bugs in 2009.[27] The song was ranked number one on Cyworld's 2009 year-end popularity chart in January 2010, the third consecutive track by a YG group to top the annual list.[28]

Although group members recorded and released solo material throughout late 2009, 2NE1 performed a reggae version of "I Don't Care" on Inkigayo in September; the reggae version became popular and was released as a digital single on September 3.[29] Buoyed by the singles' success, sales of 2NE1 reached 120,000 units by the following year.[30] 2NE1 performed at the sixth Asia Song Festival in 2009, representing Korea with three other groups and receiving the Asian Newcomer Award.[31]

In February 2010, the group released "Try to Follow Me" digitally to promote the Samsung Corby cellphone, with no previous announcement.[32] The song peaked at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart.[33] 2NE1 traveled to Los Angeles and London in mid-2010 to record English-language songs for an American debut album with music producer Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, recording 10 songs in their initial sessions.[34] The group released its first full-length album, To Anyone, on September 9. It debuted at number seven on the Billboard World Album Chart[35] and amassed 120,000 preorders before its release.[36] Several of To Anyone's twelve tracks were released as singles, and the top-three hits "Clap Your Hands", "Can't Nobody", and "Go Away" were released with the album.[37] 2NE1 was the first group in K-pop history to have three singles from one album top different music program charts, and was the first artist to top the Inkigayo chart for four consecutive weeks.[38][39] The Halloween-themed music video for the fourth single from To Anyone, "It Hurts (Slow)", was released on October 31.[40] A fifth track, "Don't Stop the Music", was released on November 26; the song, recorded as a "special gift for Thai fans", was also used in conjunction with the group's Yamaha Fiore endorsement.[41]

2011–2012: Japanese debut, international breakthrough, and first concert tours

On January 19, 2011, the English-language version of "Can't Nobody " was released by the Japanese digital retailer Recochoku as a ringtone and ringback tone.[42] The following month, its music video was made available for download through iTunes Japan. The group's Japanese debut single, "Go Away", was released as a ringtone on March 9;[43] it was later used as the theme song for the Japanese television program Mezamashi TV.[44] 2NE1's first Korean EP, 2NE1, was released in Japan on March 16, 2011; promotional activities were canceled, however, due to the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[45] 2NE1 debuted at number 24 on the Oricon charts, selling 3,860 copies in its first week.[46] Plans for their Japanese debut on Music Station were postponed due to the earthquake,[47] and the group participated in the Naver "Pray for Japan" campaign with other Korean celebrities to raise funds for earthquake victims.[48]

It topped the Gaon Digital Chart,[81] and had more than one million downloads by the end of the following year.[82]

For this album, we pretty much locked ourselves up in the studio and gave it 100 percent. We've also grown a lot as women since our first album, and you'll be able to hear that on this record. Also, since I wrote a lot of the music, it's even more personal to us than our previous records.

2NE1 has experimented with numerous musical genres with their songs during their career, encompassing hip-hop, R&B, electropop, reggae, and dancehall.[126] The group's "ability to produce something fresh and out of the ordinary with every new release", according to ABS-CBN, "has placed them in a league of their own".[2] Vogue magazine said that 2NE1 along with BigBang helped ushered K-pop's hip-hop wave.[127] Their debut single was noted as a catchy hip-hop and electropop number that utilized instrumentations of synthesizers and reggae styles, possessing "loads of attitude"[128] and strong, sophisticated energy.[129] With its infusion of reggae, the song showed the possibility that the genre could become popular in South Korea as it is worldwide, which had previously been described as an "barren land" for the reggae market.[130] Their follow-up single, "I Don't Care", aimed to further make reggae mainstream in the country's music scene; it combined medium-tempo R&B with soft reggae melodies, at the same time showcasing a more feminine side of the group in contrast to their previous release.[26] In their debut studio album, To Anyone (2010), "Go Away" continued with their electropop and dance styles[131] while other tracks such as "It Hurts (Slow)" utilized contemporary R&B.[132] "Clap Your Hands" became known for its urban hip hop while "Can't Nobody" was noted for its catchy hooks, chorus and rap section.[128] Music webzine IZM complimented the album's vitality and musical versatility, but criticized it for its over-reliance on autotune software, calling it a distraction.[133]

Their self-titled second mini-album the following year was described as "a collision of electro-house, hip-hop, and pop-rock guitar" and was referred to by Spin as possibly the "year's most boldly thrilling recorded statement."[52] The electro house dance track "I Am the Best" was a "jaw-dropping, vibrant triumph of pure swagger and verve".[134] "Lonely" was a 180-degree transformation from 2NE1's usual musical styles and praised for its acoustic sound and raw vocals.[135] The trot-infused Eurodance single "I Love You" was described as "a perfect summation of pop's present and future", integrating traditional and modern musical elements with pulsating synths and ghostly background vocals.[136] "Falling in Love" built upon the reggae styles established through their early albums; Complex called it "[breaking] new ground", noting reggae's popularity in the neighboring market of Japan in contrast to it being a relatively newer phenomenon in Korea.[79] "Missing You" saw another diversion from the group's signature sound, characterized for its slow chorus, acoustic guitar, grand piano, and vocal harmony.[137] In their final studio album, Crush (2014), Fuse commented on its composition and the group's knack for genre-melding, "opening with the title track that blends Indian tabla drums and switchboard-button buzzing, followed by the reggae/trap-hybrid single "Come Back Home".[138]

2NE1 has credited the Spice Girls and TLC as musical influences.[139] Each member of the group has been described as distinct in voice quality, image and fashion style;[140] Park Bom cited Beyoncé and Mariah Carey as her main influences for their strong vocals and powerful performances and listed hip hop and R&B as her favorite musical genres.[141] Minzy cited Michael Jackson and Rihanna,[142] and group leader CL called producer Teddy Park and American entertainers Madonna and Lauryn Hill her role models.[143] Dara named singer-actress Uhm Jung-hwa as her inspiration, and she idolized Filipino singer Regine Velasquez. She also enjoyed Britney Spears's style and music, citing her as a role model whose songs she sang while growing up.[142]

Stage performances and fashion

 
2NE1 at MTV Daum Music Fest 2011

Since their debut with "Fire" in 2009, 2NE1 has become known for their style, charisma and stage presence.[2][144] The group's first live performance of "Fire" on SBS's Inkigayo on May 17 of that year was noted for a strong, sophisticated feel and "powerful charms".[145] The performance had a broadcast rating of nearly 15 percent per minute, and Jimmy Iovine of Interscope Records and Perez Hilton expressed fondness for the group.[146] Establishing a hip-hop image with "Fire", the group changed its concept after the release of its eponymous debut mini-album. Their style for "Pretty Boy" included print leopard pants, while they opted for simpler outfits for "I Don't Care" (black-and-white ensembles), showcasing a more-youthful choreography and offering a "unique charm".[147]

The group has attracted attention for their outlandish, statement-making fashion and have been referred to as domestic trendsetters and style icons.[148][149][150] Carolina Malis from South China Morning Post said that "[2NE1] constantly defied the traditional Korean female stereotype by embracing daring, colourful and audacious looks that helped make bold make-up a viral beauty trend."[151] The group's concerts often included over 100 custom-made outfits, ranging from street style to modern chic to futurism, which have been called the "2NE1 Collection".[150] Their style was described by Harper's Bazaar Singapore as ranging from ultra-punk to über-glamorous to unapologetically urban.[152] The "fiery, renegade concepts of 2NE1", as CR Fashion Book stated, "captured the essence of independence and rebellion" and attracted the attention of fashion brands worldwide.[153] In the group's music videos, performances and photoshoots, the members were often seen in Moschino, Alexander Wang, Balmain, Givenchy, Versace, KTZ, Jeremy Scott and Mary Katrantzou[149][152] and were credited with popularizing international fashion houses such as Givenchy and Balmain in South Korea.[154] In a May 2015 interview, fashion expert David Yi remarked that "[2NE1] started wearing Hood By Air before anyone else did, same with Off-White and a lot of different brands we see at VFiles now. Now it's very trendy to wear these European brands and streetwear brands together."[154] Also distinguished for their individuality, Janelle Okwodu from Vogue noted how girl group members are rarely lauded for their individual fashion style, except for groups like 2NE1 and the Spice Girls.[155] They have experimented with a variety of hairstyles and colors;[156] CL's "bull-horn" hair and Dara's "Vegeta" hair became media topics after the 2011 release of "I Am the Best".[157] Dara's "palm-tree hair", first seen in 2009's "Lollipop", has been described as a definitive look of 2000s K-pop.[158] In a consumer survey researching trends in the Singaporean fashion market in 2013, the group was ranked first among female K-pop artists whose style most wanted to imitate.[159]

2NE1's concert tours were also known for a variety of costumes, props, and effects[160] and were well-received by domestic and international media. Their three-day concert in Seoul on their 2011 Nolza tour was praised for the performance atmosphere and members' individual strengths.[150][161] On their 2012 New Evolution Global Tour, the shows featured an array of costume designs and incorporated stages that were transformed into a theme park, a club, a sporting arena, a fantasy world with giant inflatable props, conveyor belts, and a video wall simulating a roller coaster.[58] In a review of the group's two-day concert at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, domestic publication SSTV praised the show's production and the live performance: "2NE1 properly showed the essence of performance."[162] AsiaOne called 2NE1 "ace live performers" and "trendsetting style icons in the eyes of devotees around the globe".[163] After the group's August 17 New Jersey concert, The New York Times called the show the second-best concert of 2012.[164] Jeff Benjamin wrote for Billboard that "A few short years ago, it would have been unthinkable that a Korean girl group would have been able to fill up an East Coast arena. But 2NE1 proved that they – and K-Pop in general – are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with".[6] August Brown of the Los Angeles Times called 2NE1 "every direction that pop culture is going – female, global, digital and danceable" and wrote that the group is "pop [in its] best ways".[71]

Impact and legacy

Recognized for breaking the stereotypical K-pop girl-group image, 2NE1 are known for pioneering the "girl crush" concept. In contrast to the "sexy" or "cute" female stereotypes, the group is said to have rewritten history and brought about the expansion of girl group styles in the industry.[171][4] Rolling Stone called them "undeniably one of the most influential acts" of their era, widening K-pop's musical scope and stated that in the process, they "exerted a huge influence on the generation of artists" that came after them.[172] Tamar Herman wrote for Billboard, "The group's aggressive, fashion-forward persona combined with their relatable lyrics enabled the quartet to rise to the top of the K-pop world".[9] The magazine ranked 2NE1 among the top K-pop girl groups of the decade; the "quartet dominated K-pop with their fierce charisma from day one", and "2NE1's hard-hitting hip-pop styling launched a career that brought the act to astronomical heights, and paved the way for a more empowered side to K-pop girl groups."[144] Fuse highlighted their addictive music and forward-thinking fashion and said they "led the way for Korean pop and hip hop's international advancement."[173] South China Morning Post called them one of the most iconic girl groups of their time,[1] where they "proved their artistry through their edgy visuals, out-of-the-box concepts, and their versatile sound, and have become one of the most influential powerhouses of K-pop."[174]

Rolling Stone Korea called 2NE1 a legendary group, who upon disbanding, "was eventually honored in K-pop's hall of fame" as "K-pop welcomed a new generation."[175] The group's work has been recognized globally—Billboard's Caitlin Kelley called "I Am the Best" "one of the most iconic girl crush concepts on many levels",[176] while Stereogum's Tom Breihan ranked its video the 2nd best music video of the 2010s.[177] In 2012, Spin magazine ranked the same song along with "Ugly" the third- and ninth-best K-pop songs of all time, respectively.[178] Pitchfork named "Missing You" one of 20 essential K-pop songs[137] while "I Am the Best" was deemed one of 45 highlights in girl group history.[179] Billboard ranked the latter song and "I Love You" the fourth- and 67th-greatest K-pop songs of the 2010s, noting 2NE1's versatility and their ability to "transcen[d] linguistic barriers".[180] "Fire" and "I Am the Best" were considered by music-industry experts some of the genre's defining girl-group songs in Melon and Seoul Shinmun's list of top 100 K-pop masterpieces of all time, "set[ting] fire" to a "completely new attitude" to the music of K-pop girl groups.[181][182] GQ named "I Am the Best" one of 24 songs that shaped the decade worldwide[183] while British GQ called 2NE1 one of the K-pop industry's game-changers during the 2010s.[184]

Various media such as The Independent, Billboard and South China Morning Post, have labelled them as the "Queens of K-pop".[120][185][174][186][187] Following the quartet's disbandment in late 2016, the editor-in-chief of webzine Idology wrote that the group established a new image of Korean female idols and went the farthest, creating a K-pop fandom abroad. Music critic Kim Yun-ha wrote that "the expression 'reminiscent of 2NE1' will remain as an eternal praise of K-pop revolutionaries".[4] 2NE1 has been cited as an influence or inspiration by numerous artists including (G)I-dle,[188] Blackpink,[189] Mamamoo,[190] Jeremy Scott,[191] Diplo,[192] Chungha,[193] Ailee,[194] Jeon Somi,[195] Choi Yena,[196] Oh My Girl's Seunghee,[197] Choi Yoo-jung,[198] Woo!ah!,[199] Lapillus,[200] Secret Number,[201] Chocolat,[202] Dal Shabet,[203] Stellar,[204] Momoland's Jane,[205] Loona's Vivi,[206] Itzy's Lia,[207] Hot Issue's Hyeongshin,[208] Billlie's Tsuki,[209] WJSN's Dayoung,[210] TripleS's Kim Na-kyoung,[211] and Fifty Fifty's Sio.[212] In a February 2021 Allure interview, Key of Shinee mentioned that as the style of the group's female fans were influenced by boy bands, he would also draw inspiration from 2NE1.[213]

Awards and achievements

2NE1 received a number of awards and honors. When the group debuted, their song "Fire" and its subsequent live performances were praised as unconventional but impressive. They received their first two awards on the weekly music show Inkigayo, and received more with their next singles on Music Bank.[214] "Fire" was the Cyworld Song of the Month and 2NE1 the Rookie of the Month in May 2009.[215] "I Don't Care" received the Song of the Year award at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making 2NE1 the first idol group and musical artist in South Korean history to receive a daesang in their debut year.[216] The group received a number of awards at the Cyworld Digital Music Awards, including Top-Selling Artist, Best Rookie Group, Bonsang Award, and Song of the Year (for "I Don't Care").[217] At the inaugural Melon Music Awards on December 16, 2009, the group was the only new act chosen as one of the top 10 artists in South Korea and received the Best New Artist award.[218] After analyzing its online music charts throughout 2009, Mnet.com music portal named 2NE1 the "Artist of the Year".[219]

They received the most awards of any group at the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards at The Venetian Macao, including two daesangs (Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, for To Anyone),[220] Best Music Video for "Can't Nobody", and Best Female Group.[221][222] They were the first artist to receive all three daesang awards in the history of the Mnet Asian Music Awards.[223] The group received three awards at the second Melon Music Awards in December 2010, including Album of the Year.[223] 2NE1's second EP received the Album of the Year award at the third Melon Music Awards, although they did not attend the ceremony; they are the only female group to receive the award more than once. At the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards, the group received the Song of the Year award for "I Am the Best"—the first artists to receive the award multiple times—while "Lonely" won the Best Vocal Performance – Group award. Following the ceremony, the group received a total of four daesangs (two Songs of the Year, one Album of the Year, and one Artist of the Year), and remains the most by any female act at MAMA.[224]

In November 2012, 2NE1 received the Prime Minister Commendation at Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards, an honor bestowed in recognition of public service and/or excellence in a given field. The organization called them a leading figure of the Korean Wave, contributing to the development of popular culture with their powerful image and music.[5] From 2009 to 2013, 16 of their songs placed within the top 100 on the annual Melon record charts—making them the act with the fourth-most digital hit songs in South Korean history, following SG Wannabe, BigBang, and Davichi.[225] Star News named 1st Mini Album (2009), To Anyone (2010) and 2nd Mini Album (2011) among the most successful digital albums in history, with the former two albums being the top digital albums of that year.[226] Gaon Music Chart further named them the artist with the most hit songs in South Korea during 2011.[227]
