This is why when 2NE1 got disbanded, the virtual or plastic life of kpop worsened. . . people where already suffering, struggling back then. But when 2NE1 came out with this kind of image, it brought confidence from within. To be confident of who you are. Then after they got disbanded, the fakeness or plastics worsened. . .idols now may talk about being real and be who you are but the image they project is the exact impossibility that 2NE1 had been trying to destroy back then.

I consider "Ugly" and "I am the Best" are both responses to YG CEO public insults calling them ugly. "Ugly" shows the pain caused by the insult. "I am the Best" says they are the best because they are beautiful and talented.
@x.Rhymiie.x8 ай бұрын
I mean that would stand if they composed their music, beauty standards in Korea would suggest they are "Ugly" as Idols. YG himself is ugly 🙄 but by then he already had a trend of debuting people for their talent not their looks. Not okay with what he said btw.

Their discography is such a gem and solo wise we’ve been fed and I’m always so happy to know that they’re doing well rn and they have to meet often and that’s so cool. Cant wait for the next reunion hopefully it’s a new song ❤️🙏🏽🌝🌸

They said, UGLY means U Gotta Love Yourself. On their time, they were called out cause they’re not the “usual” kpop girl group. In the sea of pretty/girly and colorful groups, there’s 2NE1 a dominant alpha GG, swag/hiphop with striking image and aura. Even their own CEO said hurtful things to them. For me, that’s what made them a standout. They’re different. Unique. Beautiful on their own ways. They don’t depend on visuals too much. They will give you talent. Their dominance on stage, energy while performing, connection with the crowd and meaningful songs. Pure and inborn talent. Such an authentic GG. Which is so hard to find these days.

No group can replace 2NE1 bec they had 5th member : Teddy Park YGE genius producer Teddy and CL wrote Ugly Teddy was so immersed with 2NE1 he pushed out great songs .. with BlackPink he just use 1 pattern for all songs .. it's mediocre and boring .. but producer needs to be inspired to produce .. while producing for 2NE1, 2NE1 themselves were Teddy's muse IMO, Teddy just works with the talents provided to him He did great with BigBang and 2NE1 and both groups are super group with each member is superstar by themselves ... these 2 groups are literally consist of Avengers 😅 Nothing can beat them (No Thanos in KPop😂) CL wrote Crush too .. great bars .. I cam't see future groups can replace BB & 2NE1 Both group leaders can write and produce I don't see any group producing for themselves, they're not trained for that Yeah, maybe BTS .. but BTS were inspired by BB and followed their path and got lucky with social media .. Look at Hybe new girl groups, they can't sing live 🤣🤣 That's the next group that built on BTS' money 😅😅 KPop is back to old KPop .. just plastic human doing cutesey

When 2NE1 debuted, they broke a lot of 'unwritten' rules of K-pop, and they've got lots of hate for their appearance from the public (insane, right?). UGLY was a kind of response from them to the audience. Now I kind of get Yang Hyun Suk; he wasn't easy on 2NE1. I remember he said that he needed to be like that because the public would be much worse than him. And he was right. (Also, he was the only one in the company who voted for 2NE1 not to be disbanded.) 2NE1, with a very comeback, slayed and broke down the standards of kpop; that's why they have the title of a legendary or iconic group of kpop. You could never know what they will come up with, what concept, or what sound they'll go for. Same with BIGBANG. Both broke rules and set new trends; people followed them because they were the trendsetters, they were unique, and they showed their flaws while embracing them all. Never be afraid to be brave and do what has never been done. I miss these kinds of groups. I know for sure that if 2NE1 were active as a group until today, they would be the No. 1 girl group. They were back then, and I think no one will ever reach and do what 2NE1 did.

so glad u check on them! 2ne1 was my 1st korean girl group that i stan HARD. still a blackjack (2ne1 fandom) until now. btw, u caught on Ugly so right. as we all know Korean beauty standards are so damn high and almost impossible. so are with the idols. back then, girl groups were all pretty, girly, cute, dolled up such as SNSD, Miss A, a pink, 4minutes, after school, aoa. they all very pretty, right? and 2ne1 was considered ugly, they don't fit the standards. even Yang Hyunsuk (YG founder) call them ugly ON NATIONAL TV !!! also they came with the punk/street look whereas it's wasn't really a thing for girl group. but i honestly fell for them b'coz of that. they're different, raw, and relatable. and in my eyes, they all are Cool and bad ass and beautiful in their own unique way 😊 that's why i love them so much and for me no group can replace them 😊

Omg! 2ne1 and Brown Eyed Girls?! What an unexpected, but incredibly pleasant surprise!. And also probably my 2 favorite 2ne1 songs? Nice! Ugly The other sign said "club" with another sign "pretty girls only". Quite a few of their mv's are about "rebelling". That''s even more impressive if you think about the time period they came out. They blew up the place, but cool girls never watch explosions 😎 Come back home I knew you were gonna love that drop 😂 They are iconic, and so is that drop. I think the guy is taking the pill (crushed, so maybe snorting it. He bends over a little just before the cut). Maybe the pill is needed to enter the matrix, or if it's drugs, then it could be yet another form of "escapism". "Ahead of their time", "Timeless", I like your commentary, and have to agree 👍 Further recommendations are: - Fire - Lonely

Love the reaction sm😍 I love when reactors get in depth with ugly and CBH🔥 2NE1 pionered girlcrush trend (unbeknownst to them will became a popular concept) because of their lyrics, their songs, their concept, started as this 'strong independent women' who chase away toxic love with their 'go away' 'I don't care' song but also so much vulnerable songs like 'Missing you' 'It hurts' 'lonely' 'In the club'. And for boosting confidence like 'I am the best' 'Crush' 'can't nobody' 'fire' 'clap your hands'. About being in love 'Falling in love' 'I love you' 'Do you love me' 'gotta be you' and each release with unique concept... that's why it's interesting to watch their music show promotions. Oh, and their live stages are the best....they don't dance much but they rock their stage for their live performance😊

YG calling these girls UGLY publicly is probably one of the reasons why and how the song Ugly was born. CL said that they were talking about these things with their then producer Teddy, wondering why beauty standards exist, why people should follow those and judge each other simply by appearances. Yeah, you might say that's how YG made 2NE1 so different from other girl groups, or that's just a joke - which I doubt it since he also said he's gonna create the new group, BP, "pretty version of 2NE1" - but you might have to admit that no matter how deep, it somehow affected them, or we wouldn't have this song.
@alafolieee8 ай бұрын
ugly is one of my fav kpop songs lol idk the lyrics are so simple but also so vulnerable and the sentiment in their voice is very apparent. it also adds a ton of meaning when you know that 2ne1 was a group that faced a lot of backlash because of their “unconventional” looks and even their ceo (aka the devil on earth) would tell them constantly that they were indeed ugly and then on top of that made the poor girls sing this song. but i love what they made of it. same with their whole group career. yg ruined a lot of it but they made it incredibly far and graciously so.

YG called 2NE1 an ugly group and I think he called Blackpink the pretty group. Not exact words, but the gist. 2NE1 was criticized for their looks. I think they're all gorgeous. For many years, Come Back Home was the most expensive either YG MV or Kpop MV, don't remember which. For more explosions, watch their MV for Go Away. Content Warning for domestic violence.

That's what they intended to market 2NE1, I believe, coz they did the same with Big Mama back in 2003. I don't justify Yang Hyunsuk's action there, it's just wrong, but we have to admit that the way YG portrayed 2NE1 set them totally apart from all the girl groups back then. And at the end of the day, the song UGLY is released by YG, not by the girls themselves.

Fot real blackjacks are one of the best fandoms I personally know and join and I think this is also because of 2ne1 and what they showed and kind of taught their listeners. I don't see any Blackjack being a hater to one member of the group and they are actually paying attention to the meanings and lyrics of the song without judging the people by the looks but knstead focusing on their mindset and skills! To me 2ne1 and their music and also what I see from Blackjacks is like a warm hug in a society like this and also considering how the industry is getting more toxic day by day...

Back then the hate comments were pretty rampant already for every groups (especially girl groups) but YG artists and even more so 2NE1 got it really bad because of their more "natural" appearance.. people would always tell them that they'd better get their faces fixed if they really wanted to be idols.... CL for example got comments on her single eyelids a lot because having double eyelids was what was considered pretty at the time People were always finding flaws in them everytime they appeared outside, so yeah they had it pretty bad. I'm glad they did find their confidence in themselves and that they were always vocal about receiving these types of comments and telling people off for that! They were very different from every other group out there and they were very proud of that, even with all the backlash that gave them. That's why us ♠️ were also very proud of them for being who they were, and we were always ready to have their back when problems arised
