They’re also satisfying the fans’ thirst for 2NE1. With exclusive producer Teddy, 2NE1 has currently completed at least 7 songs. They are also currently in the midst of contemplating which song to set as the title track from among 3 songs. 2NE1 is planned to actively participate in broadcast activities once the album is released, and it has not been determined if a full album or a mini-album will be released.

Yang Hyun Suk also said, ““Big Bang and 2NE1 are both at points where they’re most united since their debut and are in the best state to do their music.” He continued, ” Personally, I think I would like to give both groups 100 points out of 100 points for their new songs.”

“I’m more at ease with 2NE1 especially. 2NE1 has always been successful with releasing good songs. They’re a team that has already obtained recognition with regards to their strengths and also their fashion. Their comeback this time around is certainly worth anticipating.”
