The question many Kpop fans ask..." Why is 2NE1 so popular?" Popular I think it's find but how they are always thought to be one of the most popular girl group worldwide...I doubt THAT!
The following post was not made to hate on or disrespect 2NE1!! Idk if this considers as a rant
Why is 2ne1 so popular? Do they deserve so much popularity?
Let me start by saying that I like the group. Their songs "Lonely" and "Ugly" are my favorites of all time. But I don't get how the group is so big worldwide! I'm not hating but just confused.
I know that we all have different taste on music. I listen to and like all kinds of music except heavy metal! My throat hurts just listening to them scream like that.
I was aware of 2ne1 since their debut because I'm a huge VIP! Love Big Bang! My first impression of 2ne1 was "WOW! They try to be street!" HAHAHAHA
Their song "Fire" got stuck in my head for a while, it was not bad, also it was catchy. The songs following that is pretty good but still not convincing that they can reach the top.
Later on, I started watching 2NE1 TV and felt in love with the group. Each one of them have a different personality and they have great relationship as a group. In there they dress like normal people and at times their outfits are fashionable maybe for an event or show.
But I only like the group as a group and each one as people but their songs still feeling not good enough. I know Blackjacks will hate on me, but why do you like their songs? Is it because you like them at the start and that's why you like all their songs too? Or because you guys are huge VIPs and you take their whole family in for the love?
Recently I'm disliking Sandara Park's new blonde hair. Her face is so pale that her hair and face color matches so well that it makes her look bad. Also don't like how they make her wear outfits that doesn't fit her at all. The rest of the group wears something that fits their image but not Dara.
They used to give her less parts to sing because she was "not as good" as her other group mates. Maybe they gave her a little more now because Blackjacks keep complaining about it. I used to feel like they use her for the "Image" only.
Now back to their popularity!
One of the many "maybe because" that I thought of was maybe because they are very different than the other girl groups that they stand out more. They are more fierce and daring on their image that people started to give them more attention. Of course, that's one of the reasons they caught my attention.
The two new singles they just released are just meeeh.... I was excited to tell you the truth when I heard about their comeback but it was a HUGE disappointment. Park Bom looks too dolly and fake. (She's still my favorite of the group) Dara's new hair doesn't fit. No change with Minzy. CL looks great though.
Oh Oh Oh... forgot to say that I LOVE CL's single "The Baddest Female". It was pretty fierce hehe
Now lets go back again..... XD
Their dances on their songs are not good but that's ok! I know they are not dancers but why the hell would they try for sexy on "Falling in Love"?!?!? CL is fine with sexy but not the rest. Park Bom is sexy already with her dress and great legs but those "sexy" moves they make her do just ruins anything sexy about her.
Minzy is a great dancer though. She is a fierce dancer and not sexy one. She fits when she dances to Taeyang's songs. She is more hip pop and not girly. Those blanket dance they did was a torture to the eyes. I kinda felt embarrassed fir her.
The style of the song "Ugly" fits them perfectly. They can also do "Lonely" and "It Hurts". It's ok to be wild and fierce...and adding some rock in their would make the group way better like "Ugly" Also why does people always ask "Why is 2ne1 so ugly?" Telling the truth they are not the best looking girl group out there but there are certainly much prettier than many of you who called them ugly.
After all this, can someone please tell me why they are popular worldwide? I get it maybe in Korea but here in the states they are pretty big too. Good for them but tell me why you like them? Tell me the truth, do you really like their songs that much?
Again, I like the group and this post was not made to hate on them.
