2NE1 is following the popular choice of Korean girl groups and debuting in Japan.I really enjoy 2NE1 and the Japanese laugnge so this should be great.
YG Entertainment has announced that
2NE1’s Japanese debut has been postponed in light of the horrific 8.8 earthquake and consequential tsunami.
2NE1 flew to Japan earlier this week to prepare for their debut Japanese single, “
Go Away“, which was initially slated for release on March 11th. The girls were also preparing for a live performance on
AsahiTV’s “
Music Station“. All that changed when Japan was rocked by the naturistical disasters.
YG Entertainment representatives released the following statement:
“The group’s performance on AsahiTV’s “Music Station” was cancelled, consequently pushing back their debut stage. We had originally planned for the group to return to Korea on the 12th; however, due to the closure of all Japanese airports, we will just need to keep a close eye on the situation.”
K-pop girl groups are really going for Japan.
2NE1 will join the trend and most likely debut under
Avex in Japan next year. People are even saying that they will be the female version of
TVXQ in Japan since TVXQ was under the same company.
One associate said,
“Avex said that they really like 2NE1’s unique style. It looks like they will be 2NE1’s Japanese company.”
The girls are definitely going to Japan and even though their contract with Avex hasn’t been signed, it looks like it will follow through.
