2NE1’s new song “Ugly” became a big hit.
2NE1 would record the biggest hit if “Ugly” ranks at the top because the group’s previous songs, “Don’t Cry,” “Lonely,” “I Am The Best,” and “Hate You,” already swept top ranking on various charts.
2NE1’s songs gain popularity not only in Korea, but also abroad, and fans are looking forward to the official release of “Ugly” after seeing its teaser on the 26th on 2NE1 TV Live: Worldwide.
The lyrics of “Ugly,” which mentions of a damaged heart over other’s criticism on one’s ugly appearance, sends sad emotions unlike its up-tempo melody. Particularly, the line which says, “I’m not pretty. No one loves me. I want to be pretty, too,” makes a bond of sympathy with those who have had complex over their appearance.
Fans comment: “I feel as if CL is talking for me.” “It sounds like a pop song.” “I see that they are trying various genres. I like it.”
2NE1 will begin its concert from August 26 to 28 and will officially debut in Japan in September.

Recently, a post named “Things that happened on the plane when SNSD came back from Jeju” was posted on an online community portal site.
According to the tweet of a flight attendant on July 20th, SNSD members who just finished their schedules in Jeju, imitated the flight attendant as she made an in-flight announcement, because they found it interesting. The flight attendant then noted down the words and uploaded it through her tweet.
Also, it was said that as the plan is implemented, Tiffany and Sooyoung were the first to do the introductions and guiding information in both English and Korean, followed by all SNSD members making in-flight announcements.
In response to this, netizens commented “I also want to hear the announcement”, “There’s nothing they can’t do”, “Until now they’re still like 17 years old girls”, “I also want to enjoy the comfort for an hour” and “Really, those who take the plan are very blessed”, etc.
