2NE1 (Korean: 투 애니원; pronounced "to anyone"[1] or "twenty-one"[2]) is a South Korean girl group created by YG Entertainment, the first by the company. First appearing in a Cyon commercial campaign with Big Bang for LG Telecom, their debut single "Fire" was released on May 6, 2009. On May 17, 2009 the group debut with their first single "Fire" on SBS's Inkigayo. The group's name 2NE1 stands for "New Evolution of the 21st Century"[3].

  • History

The group was first mentioned by the press in late 2008, when rumours were spreading that YG was creating a female version of Big Bang named Sista. In response to those rumours, YG Entertainment President Yang Hyun Suk stated that the name was not chosen yet.[4] In January 2009, it was announced that the "Female Big Bang" would debut around July 2009 with three members ; CL, Park Bom, and Minzy.[5] Later that month, YG stated that Sandara joined the group, with one more member to follow.[6] In the end, YG Entertainment announced that the group would consist of four members and debut sometime in May 2009.[7] The company stated that the group had trained for 4 years, and that their debut album would contain songs produced by Teddy Park.[5][6][7] The group's name was initially announced as "21"; however, due to the discovery of a singer with the same name, the group was quickly renamed "2NE1".[8]

  • 2009: Debut, rise to fame

2NE1's first song was "Lollipop", digitally released on March 27, 2009.[7] The song was created for LG to promote their Cyon phone, and it was a joint release with Big Bang; the commercial/music video debuted on March 28, 2009.[9] Although it was not a promoted single (as it was an advertisement song, there were problems with network chart eligibility[10]), "Lollipop" proved to be a strong chart hit, going to #1 on various online charts[10] and topping music television network M.Net's online chart for four weeks in a row.[11] It was also profiled in Perez Hilton's blog.[12]

On April 30, Yang Hyun-suk revealed that 2NE1's debut song would be a hip-hop/reggae song, and that it would be digitally released on May 6, 2009.[13] Titled "Fire", the song was fully written and produced by 1TYM's Teddy Park.[14] Teasers of the song were released on their official website at the beginning of May, with a 20-second clip released on May 1.[15]

"Fire" was released as planned on May 6, with two versions of the music video — a "space" version and a "street" version — released the same day.[16] The videos received over one million views in a day.[17] The group's first performance of the song was on May 17, 2009, on SBS's Inkigayo,[18] beginning the group's activities.

Both the song and the group have been very popular online, with the song topping M.Net's online chart and the group's name becoming a top search term.[19] The group was also rewarded with three Cyworld Digital Music Awards, with both "Lollipop" and "Fire" winning "Song of the Month" awards and the group winning "Rookie of the Month" for May 2009.[20] They received their first Mutizen award during their fourth stage performance in SBS Inkigayo (Popular Song) on June 14, 2009. They received their second Mutizen award on SBS Inkigayo on June 21, 2009. Along with their awards successes, 2NE1 signed a deal with Fila to become the new models for their commercial campaign 2 days after 2NE1's Mutizen win.[21] 2NE1 performed in the 6th Asia Song Festival in September 2009, alongside Big Bang, Super Junior and Girls' Generation, to represent Korea; the group also received 2009's "Asian Newcomer's Award." [22] On July 1, the group released the title of a song out of their first mini-album called "I Don't Care" online. After its digital release, interest in the song rose greatly, topping Cyworld's hourly music chart after an hour of its release.[citation needed] On its first day, it recorded 50,000 sales in pre-orders.[citation needed] Their debut was a success on the Korean charts, as it heads straight to number 1 for its week - as it sold 13,675 albums.[citation needed] YG also stated that it already reached the 80,000 sales mark within 2 weeks which is impressive since 2NE1 is only a rookie.[citation needed] On August 2, 2009, 2NE1 performed a live remix version of "I Don't Care" at Popular Song. "I Don't Care" was also profiled in Perez Hilton's blog.[23]. The group ended promotions for "I Don't Care" on August 30, 2009 in SBS Inkigayo with an unplugged version of the song. 2NE1 began promotion for "Pretty Boy" on September 6, 2009 with a performance at SBS Inkigayo and another performance at MusicBank on September 11, 2009. The group ended their promotions for their mini album on September 13, 2009 with a performance of "In The Club" at their good bye stage. They then performed "Let's Go Party" along with "Fire", "How Gee", and "Last Farewell" (w/Big Bang) at the SBS Idol Big Show Chuseok Special.[citation needed]

  • Controversy

YG Entertainment was accused of plagiarism by Sony ATV, for 2NE1's second single song "I Don't Care" which allegedly sounded similar to Lionel Richie's "Just Go" [24]. It was stated that officials from Sony reportedly sent YG Entertainment warning letters about plagiarism but Teddy, who composed "I Don't Care", denied the claims and no further actions have been taken.
