2NE1 debuted 3 years ago. Despite that, YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk stated, “I think that’s synonymous to how they haven’t had that many activities or exposure through TV. Therefore, 2NE1 still has quite a bit to show. This year will be the year to settle it all.”

2NE1 recently released their newest single, “Lonely”, which has been a big hit on many major charts. Yang Hyun Suk also stated, “This year is the year that they’ll reach their peak, both publically and musically. Around the time of their debut, many people criticized me with ‘Yang Hyun Suk went insane’, ‘He’s going to get it soon’, and ‘He’s arrogant’ because 2NE1, who were rookies, went out on music programs only once a week. It’s just my opinion that 2NE1’s a unique group and they should be promoted in their own way.”

Most major companies flaunt their powers by having their singers perform many times on TV, much more than other groups. However, YG is the exact opposite. YG instead feels that the standards are also important. Yang Hyun Suk also revealed that YG producer Teddy has already made about six songs for 2NE1, and that they are preparing for their follow-up promotions.
