2NE1′s power is everywhere with their first full album, To Anyone. On the 9th of last month, having released their first full album and performing the three different stages, calling it the “Triple Titles”, “Can’t Nobody”, “Go Away”, and “Clap Your Hands”, 2NE1′s popularity seemed like it doesn’t know when to stop.
Last year, 2NE1, who came to sudden prominence was being expected by all music fans called as the “female Big Bang”. It made us to think of them as Big Bang for they are both from YG Entertainment and by their unique styles that were obviously different from the other idols.
It was a great way to promote the name for 2NE1′s popularity who was just a newbie back then, but there was the downside in that title. They received such criticisms like “they are copying Big Bang” or “now these girls follow the same paths as Big Bang because Big Bang is successful”.
But one year later, now 2NE1 has grown up and who can be no longer call the “female Big Bang”. 2NE1 is just 2NE1, who is receiving much love with their unique music style which can never be thought like ‘it’s a childish one just copying some other singers’.
Recently in the Korean music industry, the music charts are always changing for having so many different new number 1 songs. If a new song got released, it gets ranked all the way to No.1 starting from the Real Time charts, to the daily and weekly charts, then it changes all over again when another new song from a different artist releases theirs.
However 2NE1′s album has been released over a month ago and all the three title songs are still on the top ranks of all music sites. This great result by 2NE1 is catching the eyes by many for there are very many new songs released in this month of October.
In fact, 2NE1 has had some worries before they released their 1st full album. The biggest reason is that it is their 1st full album in this quickly changing music industry even though they are the newbies who just debuted last year, and if they don’t meet the fans’ expectations after being on hiatus for a very long time, the disappointment by the fans will be much bigger.
2NE1 proved to be fearless after being worried too much. With the new concept of the “triple titles”, 2NE1 swept all the music charts and even their three songs are fighting back and forth to be ranked in 1st to 3rd places. They also swept all the No.1′s at all the music TV ranking programs, thus receiving the prize for a total of 8 times by today.
This great love for 2NE1 from all the music fans is definitely resulted by their music and their unique styles. They didn’t make up their popularity by connecting with something else, but they are loved by their own music which can only be done by 2NE1.
Now, 2NE1 is just 2NE1, not the “female Big Bang”

Reason Why 2NE1 is Loved? "Because They are not only Beautiful Like Other Girl Groups"
2NE1 came back with their 1st Album and it is immediately sold out.
Even before, their debut has been a hot topic for throwing challenges at the song fields, different from other girl groups. And they have been loved by women. What is the reason why they are loved?
2NE1 walks on a road different from your typical beautiful, sexy, lovely groups. But they show off a different meaning of beautiful on stage when they are at it. They are not lovely on stage rather, it is powerful like a 'male idol group' and strong.
The strong sound and their stage performance captured the female fans. Their clothes get into the news, the style becomes trend, and high popularity is obtained.
However, the concept of 2NE1 is to differentiate itself from other girl groups and raised to work high up like a mountain. From the beginning they are stressed as 'talented'. Do not forget their duty as a singer, their singing skills during the performance, not showing half-hearted performances. Everyone captured two rabbits and it began to obtain they are singing for fans. (I do not understand the last sentence. Is two rabbits significant in Korea?) [DaraCo, I read the original Korean article, it's "Everyone has been captured by their charisma and their strong vocals, gaining lots of fans. - Belle]
The last reason of their receiving a lot of love of why every word and need get into the news is exactly how they show their other side. The stag
