Honestly, that seems like the point. Girls not feeling good enough despite being totally fine, etc. Considering what an issue unrealistic beauty standards are, especially in Korea, it's probably pretty on-point for a lot of beautiful girls. I've known so many hyper-insecure hotties. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



It's also worth mentioning that I've seen frequent mention that the girls of 2NE1 aren't classically pretty, with exception of Dara. They are always pointed out for looking more like "real" girls, which sometimes seems like code for "not pretty enough." I think they're kind of the perfect people to sing the song, in that sense, because the video almost seemed like a response to that.



Apparently Teddy wrote the lyrics after talking to the girls about their insecurities, so that's an interesting tidbit.

Earlier today I put the TV on MTVU (I think that's their 4th channel....) to get my music on while I got ready for work. As I passed by, I thought I saw 2NE1 flash on the screen. I stopped and watched a bit, and as it turns out I am not seeing things/crazy.



That channel is doing some "best new band of the world" or some shit, and 2NE1 is up for voting. The commercial clip played Ugly (because the chorus is english lulz) but also...it was the only song that they played, even talking about other artists over it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' /> I'm all for the girls getting more recognition, so here's the site where you can vote. The system is weird, I guess if you give them 5 stars they get 5 votes, and 4 is 4 votes, ect ect. The samples are Ugly, Hate You, and I am the Best. I'm surprised they didn't put up the english version of Can't Nobody.

Oh... oh.... I shouldn't have listened to that Malaysian girl Yuna because I like her too! Image She's just such a pretty voice and she sings English too! (I wonder if she's on iTune? I must investigate!)



Edit: Yes! She has one EP up.



But as awesome as she is, I feel obligated as a fan to give my vote to 2ne1. Though I'm sure the Blackjacks the world over have already voted for them twice if not three times.

Wow, I love that. Aside from the fact that it's one of my favorite songs by them, I love the colors (even when they go all black at the end), the style, and the inside references (Minzy's puppy, Dara's guitar, and Bom's corn lamp*. But what was CL's reference to something?).

The whole kerfuffle about Hate You's MV being anti-Japanese was just overhyping of some silly youtube comments. It would have stayed that way, too, if people knew how to keep their mouths shut. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />

They will also be performing in New York City. I wanna gooo. Image But it's also being streamed.



If New York wasn't such a cluster bomb around Christmas I'd go. Plus it's on a Monday. Image (Why would you have a concert on a Monday? D:)

I was thinking the same. Hope they are a last minute addition to the Feb Kpop fest. I don't care if that concert goes for like 4 hours (I think it's already going for 3).

YG got you a dubstep fairytale for Christmas.



I want to paint Bom at :58. (I'm not lying, I'm considering making this concept into a dummy cake.)



CL lookin' like a fly Dr. Horrible. Ugh that sentence just came out of me.

A few links stemming from their MTV Iggy stuff:



Short but very nice writeup and pics of the concert from Spin Magazine. Two choice quotes:

- "Every interstitial breather, every baffling Matt Pinfield-ism and Sway-ism, every interview segment with anyone but 2NE1, brought on more sighing and fidgeting in seats." [Add in "and on feet". And so freaking true.]

- "Four hits (save for "Ugly", an unfortunate omission) and they were done."



Backstage interview with MTV Style, CL calls Bom "Boom" (1:08) [wtf]



Awkward BBC interview with CL

You were not joking. SOOOO painfully AWKWARD. Poor CL.



Also when did she start going by "BOOM"? They are going to start confusing a lot of the new American fans with that. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... popper.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':popper:' />
