The name combines the phrases 21st century and new evolution.[1] The band consists of CL, Minzy, Dara, and Bom. First appearing in Lollipop, a commercial campaign with Big Bang for LG Electronics, 2NE1s debut single Fire was released on May 6, 2009. Since then, the group has released two extended plays, 2NE1 and 2NE1 2nd Mini Album, and one studio album, To Anyone. Their first EP, 2NE1 spawned the number-one single I Dont Care, which won them the Song of the Year award at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Their follow-up singles, such as Go Away, Lonely and I Am the Best were similarly successful, with I Am the Best winning 2NE1 their second Song of the Year award in 2011. 2NE1 officially debuted in Japan in September 2011 with a mini album titled NOLZA, which contained re-made versions of the Korean songs featured on the groups 2nd Mini Album. Since then, the group has released one studio album, Collection, and two physical singles in Japan. 2NE1 are set to debut in the United States in 2013, with work on the groups debut English studio album beginning in 2010 with producer will.i.am.

The music video was released on March 28, 2009.[9] Although it was not a promoted single because it was an advertisement (there were problems with network chart eligibility[10]), Lollipop went to number one on various online charts[10] and topped the online chart of music television network Mnet for four weeks in a row.[11] On April 30, YG Entertainments CEO Yang Hyun Suk revealed that 2NE1s debut song would contain elements of hip-hop and reggae, and that it would be digitally released on May 6, 2009.[12] Titled Fire, the song was written and produced by 1TYMs Teddy Park.[13] Teasers of the song were released on their official website at the beginning of May, with a 20-second clip released on May 1.[14] Fire was released as planned on May 6, with two versions of the music video — a space version and a street version — released on the same day.[15] Within the first 24 hours of release, the videos each received over one million views.[16] The group held their first performance of Fire on May 17, 2009, on SBSs Inkigayo,[17] marking the start of the groups activities. A reality show, 2NE1TV, was also launched in May 2009 to assist in the groups debut promotions. Both the song and the group became popular online: Fire topped Mnets online chart and 2NE1 became a popular search term.[18] The group was awarded three Cyworld Digital Music Awards; Lollipop and Fire both won Song of the Month award and the group won Rookie of the Month for May 2009[19] 2NE1 received their first Mutizen award after their fourth stage performance in SBSs Inkigayo (Popular Song) on June 14, 2009. They received their second Mutizen award on the same show on June 21, 2009. Two days afterwards, 2NE1 signed a deal with Fila to become the models for the companys new commercial campaign.[20] I Dont Care was released as the groups second single on July 1, 2009 along with the groups first mini-album.[21] Promotions for their new release officially commenced in early July.[22] Yang Hyun Suk stated that the song would demonstrate a softer, more feminine image of the group than illustrated by Fire.[21] A reggae version of I Dont Care was debuted with a performance on SBSs Inkigayo in September 2009, signaling the end of promotions for the song.[23] Due to the remixs popularity, it was released to digital outlets on September 3, 2009, and became their next digital single.[23] In August, after finishing I Dont Care promotions, 2NE1 took a temporary hiatus with each member releasing their own solo singles. Sandara Park was the first to release her own digital single, titled Kiss, in September 2009. The song featured fellow member CL as a rapper and was used in a commercial for CF Beer. Park Boms single You and I was released next in October 2009; it proved to be the most successful of the groups solo singles, peaking at the top of the GaOn chart. CL collaborated with Minzy in the following month for their single Please Dont Go. Along with three other groups representing Korea, 2NE1 performed in the 6th Asia Song Festival in September 2009, where they received the 2009s Asian Newcomers Award.[24] 2NE1 received many year-end awards, including Best Rookie Award and Song of the Year Award. Their hit single I Dont Care was named 2009s Best Selling Song on music sites Mnet, Bugs, Monkey3, and Cyworld and second in MelOn. Their debut EP also reached a milestone of 100,000 in sales by the end of the 2009 year. 2010: To Anyone On February 9, 2010, without previous announcement, Follow Me (Korean: 날 따라해봐요, Nal ddara haebwayo) was released to digital outlets and used as the promotional song for Samsungs Corby Folder.[25] Over the summer of 2010, 2NE1 traveled to Los Angeles and London in order to record English songs for an American debut album with The Black Eyed Peass member and music producer will.i.am. The group recorded a total of 10 songs in their initial sesions.[26] The groups first full length album, To Anyone, was released on September 9, 2010 and proved to be a huge success.[27] Upon release of the album, it achieved an all-kill as all six new songs in the album stayed in the Top 10 on various music charts for one week. The album also charted at No.1 on the iTunes Hip-hop chart, No. 7 on Billboard World Albums Chart, No.1 on HMV Japan, aside from topping various charts in Korea. Prior to the release of the album, it had already received 120,000 pre-orders. The album eventually sold 150,000 copies by the end of the year. The album contains 12 tracks, including three title tracks, Clap Your Hands (Korean: 박수 쳐), Go Away and Cant Nobody, which were promoted simultaneously. 2NE1 won first place on Mnets M! Countdown for Clap Your Hands on the day of their comeback, followed by a K-Chart win the next day on KBS Music Bank for Go Away, and a Mutizen a week after for their SBS Inkigayo performance of Cant Nobody. Overall, 2NE1 won first place eleven times on various music shows throughout the promotional period for To Anyone.[28] To promote the album, the group made its first entertainment show appearance as a group on KBS variety-talk show Win Win[29] while also airing the second season of 2NE1TV. On October 21, Yang Hyun Suk announced that 2NE1 would be releasing a follow-up single on October 31, later revealed to be It Hurts (Slow) (Korean: 아파).[30][31] It was first performed on SBSs Inkigayo. The music video was directed by Kim Hye Jung, who also directed G-Dragons Butterfly. The music video was released on November 1 and utilized a Halloween theme.[32] In addition, on October 28, it was revealed that 2NE1 would release Japanese material under the Avex Group, and that To Anyone would be re-released in Japan on December 8, 2010. However, the release was later delayed to early 2011.[33] Other non-Korean promotions took place in Thailand, where To Anyone was released on October 28, 2010.[34] On November 26, 2NE1 released the single Dont Stop the Music as a special gift for Thai fans and as the promotional accompaniment to the groups Yamaha Fiore endorsement.[35] At the end of 2010, 2NE1 took home the Artist of the Year award and the Album of the Year award at the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards, thus making them the only artist to win all 3 grand awards at the said award ceremony. 2011: Second Korean EP and Japanese debut 2NE1 in 2011 On January 19, 2011, Cant Nobody (English Version) was released on the Japanese digital retailer Recochoku as a ringtone and ringback tone.[36] On February 2, the Cant Nobody (English Version) music video was made available for download through iTunes Japan.

As the day progressed, the song ultimately became first and was certified as another perfect all-kill for the group. On July 21, 2NE1 released an animated music video directed by Mari Kim for their next single, Hate You, which proved to be another success for the group, peaking at #3 on the Gaon Chart. On July 28, along with the release of the full mini-album, the single Ugly and its music video were released, and again 2NE1 topped all major Korean charts with the single.

While Lollipop was categorized as for pop, debut single Fire is predominately influenced by hip hop. I Dont Care, however, was intended as a song with a reggae feel.[77] Their comeback album, To Anyone, was marked by a strong shift into electronic music. Go Away, the most successful promotional single from the album, is classified as dance.[78] However, songs like It Hurts (Slow) are R&B, another style that also characterized their first EP.[79] The three title tracks, Clap Your Hands, Go Away, and Cant Nobody were noted for their lasting impressions, as they topped music charts weeks after release.[80] Thematically, 2NE1s music explores independence and female empowerment, such as in songs like Go Away and I Dont Care.[81] Image 2NE1 is known for a unique and edgier style.[82] During their debut single, the group was noted for being hip-hop warriors and the female counterpart to Big Bang but changed this perception with I Dont Care into strong, feminine women.[21] During the It Hurts (Slow) music video, the members were noted for their Gothic, black attire[83] and strange hair and wigs.[84] Zack Greenburg from the American business magazine Forbes described 2NE1 as a pop group characterized by bold, bright outfits and big, catchy hooks punctuated by rap verses and an in-your-face swagger. He also considers the group to be bigger than Psy, singer of the worldwide hit single Gangnam Style.[85] Styles and themes 2NE1 recorded R&B songs with styles that encompasses urban, contemporary, and dance-pop. 2NE1 revealed that R&B female group Destinys Child is one of their influences. Park Bom cited American singers, Beyoncé and Mariah Carey as her main influences because of their strong vocals and powerful performances.
