Today 2ne1 performed for the 2nd time their hit single, “Fire” on SBS inkigayo.
Critics and netizens said that the performance was better than their debut performance. This time around, 2ne1 had sharper vocals and better choreography. Netizens also said that the group looked more confident. This is natural since this is only their 2nd performance of all time. Many who were disappointed with their first performance said that they were much better in this one.
For the 3rd consecutive week, “Fire” has been the most illegally downloaded song according to MusicSave. MusicSave investigates illegal music downloading via popular illegal softwares such as P2p. The song accounts for 22% of illegal downloads.
Sandara Park has been the center of controversy ever since being with 2ne1. Her past in the entertainment industry of the Phillipines has often been a topic of scandal. Photos of her with men in intimate poses were put online. Sandara explains that these photos were because she was placed in a TV show similar to the Korean show We Got Married. Take a look at her photo.
YG entertainment has just released a statement that 2ne1 will be limiting their TV appearances and instead will be focusing their efforts on improving their performances. So if you were hoping to see the band on variety shows, you will be disappointed.
YG is making an effort to market this group in a different way than the typical idol groups. To focus on their abilities instead of their fame should be great in the long run, and they have plenty of time in the future to be seen on TV.
