The girls have ranked #6 on the Oricon Ninki chart, with a score of 26.60, for singles set to be released on May 5.

wth 2NE1 styles you say ? well lemme tell you 2NE1 doesn’t own that styles. No one own any fashion or shit like that. everyone can have the “hip hop” styles
Maybe I didn't like how it started. The stage presence was weak and I was confused whether the rapper (I don't know which is Bekha and which is JiYoon) was lipsynching or trying to sing live. The parts where she sang live didn't sound too well likely because of the choreography or maybe she was a little nervous considering it was her debut performance with Lee Hyori. What I did like in the performance was Hyori on the bike towards the middle and the second rapper. I was really amazed at the 2nd rapper's (again, I don't knwo which she is... can someone tell me please!) at her dance skills, too!
