Gotta give them credit for composing their own music/lyrics, unlike most other kpop groups.

Big Bang I mean, G-DRAGON!!

Well, this is just a song to promote the phone isn't it? We don't know if 2NE1 will actually go with this style or not. Their "real" debut will be in May when the official music video will be released. Knowing YG Entertainment (a very westernized company), 2NE1 might actually be a female version of Big Bang. I say that because American dance choreographers such as Shaun Evaristo, Aimee Lucas, and Lyle Beniga are pretty much the official choreographers for YG since they've done past work for Big Bang, Gummy, and other non-YG aritsts like Uhm Jung-Hwa. Not to mention Shaun and Aimee are notable for their creative and smooth choreography for Big Bang's "Number 1", "With U" and Tae Yang's "Only Look at Me" and "Prayer".

What is annoying to me is that people keep labeling 2NE1 as the "female Big Bang" because I want this group to have an identity for themselves. Just because they're part of YG Entertainment and are being supervised by American choreographers and G-Dragon doesn't make them a female version of Big Bang.

I hope this group doesn't flop, but it's possible because YG Entertainment is known for failed girl groups like Swi.T, Big Mama, and solo artist Lexy. =X

Big Bang I mean, G-DRAGON!!

No offense, but G-Dragon didn't write most of Big Bang's songs. He is an AMAZING song writer and producer, but he gets too much credit. I say that because Big Bang as a group, contribute ideas to each of their songs. Besides that, ever since the debut of Big Bang, G-Dragon has been the center of attention for plagiarism.

More of the same old stuff. I hesitate before criticizing it further though because I will inevitably be humming the damn tune a week from now.......

Their digital single is out and it's available to download.

The song isn't that great and it seems like they really want this group to be a female version of Big Bang (god, I hate how people compare them, but I guess it's true now). I mean they even dress like them in the street version. CL = G-Dragon, Minzy = Dae Sung, Sandara = TOP, Park Bom = Tae Yang, Seung-ri.

At least not as bad as this, right?

Funny how both songs use autotune (some parts for korean version). I read that this song is just a commercial for a phone coming out that's coming out in Korea. It's called Lolipop, but I'm not sure which company is making it. I don't find mainstream Korean music bad at all, mostly because I don't know what they're saying XD It's pretty catchy.
