sukenye...Ashley from Got to Dance UK pun ada kat situ and he witnessed my girls on their IATB mv. he said the mv is "sick!" (alert: word of the day..."sick" kat sini bukan sakit atau teruk. it's an urban term utk "cool", "dope", "good", "cool", "crazy", "insane" - so obviously it's a good thing )
QUOTE
In the recent episode of Juice, Stephen read a suggestion from one of their followers about who and what the next big thing is going to be and this fan @ItsJustMikey suggested 2NE1.
Stephen said, “They’re a Korean group. They are up for MTV Iggy's Best New Band in the World Award at the EMA's*.. I checked them out. Amazing, really really good.” Stephen goes on to say that K-POP is amazing telling the other guests and hosts "you'd love it". Everyone seems to agree that 2NE1 was really good.
"Juice" is a new show hosted by Sinead Kennedy, Stephen Byrne and Katie Van Buren airing every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 5:30 on Ireland's RTE TWO. For those in Ireland (and a few other countries) you can directly stream the show HERE. The program is billed as a "Teen magazine" presented by Sinead Kennedy, Stephen Byrne and Katie Van Buren, with the latest celebrity gossip, the hottest news from Hollywood and featuring some top new musicfrom around the world.
As far as we know this is 2NE1's first time making it to Irish television. Hopefully, it won't be the last. Considering what a warm response "I Am The Best" received, the potential success of 2NE1's global expansion is looking more and more positive everyday.
*Not sure if Stephen add the EMA's or whether itsjustmikey did, but the MTV Iggy award will NOT be presented at the MTV EMA's.
Remember to move to Staff Trash Bin once the article has been posted.

morning! this is an excerpt from New York Daily News...
The Korean invasion: New Yorkers are screaming for the new wave of pop stars
THE KOREAN INVASION: NEW YORKERS ARE SCREAMING FOR THE NEW WAVE OF POP STARS ...
So eye-catching in fact, that a live K-Pop invasion was inevitable. Here's one example:
Hip-hop sensation 2NE1, a four-girl group that sings and raps about girl empowerment, has become designer Jeremy Scott's muses. Scott created a shoe: the JS Collage Wings x 2NE1, which will debut next month.
The group's look — high fashion with a colorful, punky twist — has even inspired some updated costumes in the new production of Broadway's "Rent."
Rapper and producer will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas fell in love with the group after watching one of their videos online. He's now producing their first all-English album.

5 MUST-HEAR GROUPS:
Ready to dip your toe into the Korean Wave? Here are the top five South Korean acts that will help immerse you in the world of K-Pop:
2NE1
Unlike other Korean girl groups who capitalize on sex appeal or being saccharine and cutesy, this group rose to the top of the charts for their anthems on girl power and boy bashing. When they aren't dominating the charts in Korea and Japan, the group — Dara, Bom, Minzy and leader CL — are making a statement in the fashion world. Often described as "fierce," this fearless foursome express their style through fashion houses like Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Proenza Schouler, Balmain and Jeremy Scott, who has become one of the band's biggest supporters. Catch them repping South Korea as one of the Best Bands of the World nominated by MTV Iggy. Download this: "I Am the Best," a catchy electronic beat with a bass-friendly undertone.
(and of course, Bigbang is on the chart too )
-----------------------
interesting enough, 2ne1 is the one and only girl group enlisted by the writer for the 5 MUST HEAR GROUP
talking about girl power!
