US Pop star Lady Gaga and 2NE1, who were arranged to appear on the same stage, has drawn attention from their sudden meeting.
2NE1 who has been performing wonderfully as a new artist, will be on the 18th at the Sanamdong NooriGgoom Square, appearing on the live broadcasting of Mnet Mcountdown. This is the first cable music program that they will be appearing on.
Especially on this day's broadcast, it has been let known that Lady Gaga, who arrived in Korea on the 16th, will appear on the stage, and their meeting is gathering much interest.
Prior 2NE1's debut, they had a strange tie with Lady Gaga. Teddy (producer of Fire) was called to the US at the time by Interscope representative Jimmy Aibin(?). At the place they met, he was offered a proposal to collaborate with Lady Gaga, but because he was producing 2NE1's debut album, he turned it down.
On the 16th, MCountdown reps said that "On the 18th, Lady gaga will have a special stage." and told people to anticipate it.
Moreover, ex wonder girl member Hyunah's group 4minute will be making their debut on this day.
