Part of dara's story (and her family) during her previous days in the philippines before her 2ne1's debut
she's a really, really hardworking girl
love seeing them speaking english. CL and bommie are indeniably fluent in english. dara's english is ok. but she has filipino accent and it needs to be polished. her english somehow became 'rotten' after leaving the philippines a few years ago. girl, u need to practice more minjy, she's learning

The overseas ventures of 2NE1 and Aziatix are far from over, as they′ve even been featured in Newsweek.
The two groups were introduced along with Yoon Mirae in the music sections of the American and Japanese issues of Newsweek on January 25, under the title ‘Korean Hip-Hop: K-Hop Goes Global’.
The article mostly covered Korean hip-hop and where it should be headed in the future. Rob Schwartz, the manager of the Tokyo branch of the Billboard Magazine, was quoted to have said, “Currently American pop music is greatly affected by R&B, and Korean hip-hop is also greatly affected by a soulful R&B never seen before in the Korean music of the past. Aziatix is hip-hop in itself, with its edgy and state of the art sounds.”
The article also featured an interview with the founder and producer of Aziatix, Jae Chong (Jung Jae Yun), to point out that Korean musicians who have grown up in America can appeal to not only listeners in the mainstream American market, but also those from all around the world.
2NE1 is blazing a trail in the Western part of the world, as the group was recently chosen by MTV Iggy as the Best New Band in the World.
2NE1 even found its way into MTV Iggy’s list of ‘10 International Collaborations That Blew Our Minds in 2011’ and MTV Style’s ‘Top 12 Girls to Watch in 2012’.

Korean Hip-Hop: K-Hop Goes Global
Jan 23, 2012 12:00 AM EST
South Korea’s music industry gave the world ‘K-Pop’ with its peppy girl and boy bands. Now it’s taking on hip-hop’s swag.
Last October, the four-piece girl group 2NE1 debuted in Japan with six live shows in front of 70,000 fans—the latest product of a South Korean music machine that has already surged past the point of being just another East Asian fad. While “K-pop” has gained popularity as the catch-all term for a host of glossy boy and girl bands, 2NE1—with its signature tune, “Ugly”—represents K-hop, a budding movement that backs up its slick pop sheen with true R&B talent.
East Asia’s music industry is being astutely tailored for a global audience in the digital age. “There is no line between Korean, Japanese, or international music since YouTube,” explains 2NE1’s lead rapper, CL. “It’s just the whole world through the Internet.”
K-pop groups have certainly found success abroad: bands like Girls’ Generation and TVXQ draw impressive crowds at shows in New York and L.A. Now K-hop is getting in on the act: Internet exposure helped boy band Big Bang win the World Wide Act award at the MTV Europe Music Awards last June, and MTV Iggy just crowned 2NE1 the Best New Band in the World.
While some critics still question whether K-hop will ever make waves on mainstream U.S. radio, Korean-American producers such as Teddy Park (of 2NE1) and Jae Chong (of Aziatix) are hoping that the genre will be the true crossover hit, with its ties to hip-hop, soul, and electronica. Park grew up in New Jersey and California on a diet of Queen and the Wu-Tang Clan. The 33-year-old, who has overseen 2NE1’s career from its inception, always wondered why the world music scene was missing a big global Asian act. Meanwhile, Chong was among the first producers to bring soul and R&B to Korea, in the early 1990s. For Chong, raised in Los Angeles, it was a challenging time. “Seoul’s hip-hop community was tiny,” he says.

By the turn of the millennium, star acts started to emerge from Korea, including the hip-hop group Drunken Tiger, led by L.A.-raised Tiger JK, and his wife, solo hip-hop artist Tasha Reid (née Yoon Mi-rae). The Texas-born Reid ended up in Korea as a child during her father’s Army posting, and she explored the country’s nascent hip-hop scene in underground clubs. Now, she says, “if I were to check the singles chart, at least 90 percent of [Korean] songs are R&B-influenced.”
Many of the rising stars of the genre have spent ample time abroad. 2NE1’s singer Park Bom studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston; lead rapper CL lived in France and Japan before returning to her homeland. The 2NE1 gals feel they’ve found a kindred spirit in their producer Park. “He is a musician who knows how girls feel,” says CL, who adds that “Ugly,” which confronts insecurities about beauty, emerged from a conversation with Park. For his part, Park admits he gets flak for penning lyrics to inspire independent women but says, “Especially for this country, we needed women to stand up.” It’s an attitude that may translate well overseas, where outspoken female artists such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry are wildly successful.
The ultimate validation for K-hop would be lifting Asian music out of its tacky stereotype and bringing it to the same level as Latin and European music on the global music scene. The early signs are promising: will.i.am has already begun working on tracks for 2NE1.
Chong’s latest project is the Korean-American K-hop guy band Aziatix. The group’s eponymous mini-album placed at No. 4 on the U.S. iTunes Top Soul Albums last May. “I want to introduce the next phase [of K-hop],” says Chong, who feels that the classic ’80s and ’90s formula of rhythm, melody, and lyrics is what U.S. hip-hop lacks today. The integrity of K-hop may be at stake, though, if it becomes overly tailored for a U.S. audience, something that concerns Tasha Reid. “I’d hate to see the soul of Korean music lose itself in the process,” she says.
Veteran Singer Jeon Yu Na, “2NE1′s CL, An Idol Shattering The Prejudice Held Against Idols…”YGFanboyFebruary 11, 201212
Singer Jeon Yu Na (43) has her eye on junior group, 2NE1′s member CL. Jeon You Na, who came back after 17 years hiatus with a new album titled, ‘That person.’
In an interview with TV report she was asked, “Who do you think is the most outstanding idol singer?” She responded with, “CL.” She said, “Today singers are good at everything; singing, dancing, etc that’s because they are all well prepared. Even though they are same in terms of idol groups, but some have their own unique color. Personally, I like 2NE1. I find the girls doing well on their own ground within the framework of music.”
Jeon Yu Na said. She continued, “Especially CL, who is the most outstanding of them all. First, her looks is amiable. The more I look at her, the happier I am. I think she is very professional even though she’s young. She can rap really well and she shatters the prejudice held against idols.”
