Minzy, Sandara, Bom, and CL of girl group 2NE1 will be returning with a new album!

A representative from 2NE1′s agency YG Entertainment informed Star News on May 21st, “2NE1 will be releasing a new Korean album around the middle of June. 2NE1 and their producer Teddy have completed 7 amazing new songs. Once the new album drops, the girls will also be promoting on various programs.”

YG Entertainment added, “We have not decided if the new 2NE1 album will be a full-length or a mini-album.”

This new album will be the first to be released since the girls dropped ‘2NE1 2nd Mini Album‘ last July. Tracks “Dont Cry“, “Lonely“, “I Am The Best“, “Hate U“, “Ugly“, and more from that album were all major hits that climbed the charts. Because many of their tracks from each of their albums are quick to become the new trends, this new album is drawing much anticipation from fans everywhere.

After the album drops, the girls will immediately hold an independent concert in Korea. Fans are excited for their new album as well as the concert, as the girls have been primarily focusing on their Japanese tour, and it will be the first time in a while Korean fans will get to see the girls 2NE1 up close.

“We will officially announce the concert once everything is organized,” YG added. “We hope that the new 2NE1 release and the concert will help everyone enjoy this summer season.”

2NE1‘s MV for “Hate You” is creating some controversy in Japan, as some in the Japanese media have asserted that the MV is anti-Japanese.

‘RocketNews24‘ in Japan stated, “K-pop group 2NE1′s animation MV is creating quite the buzz among the public who are arguing that the MV is anti-Japanese“, and that “the MV starts out with an exploding nuclear reactor, and an ‘monster’with a red dot on it’s forehead (representing the Japanese flag) is killed and done away with.”

Anti-fans argue that the nuclear explosive highly resembles the Fukushima Daiichi, the nuclear power plant which was made inactive after the tragic earthquakes and tsunami in March, and that the monster representing Japan was portrayed as inferior, being easily slayed.

The press also delivered the news that netizens were wildly commenting on the video clip with many negative comments on Youtube. Netizens voiced their opinions, and most felt that as long as the Japanese continue to feel that the MV is anti-Japanese, the girls will soon be unable to continue their promotions in Japan.

As the media continues to blow up the story, there are some Japanese citizens who are spreading their anti Hallyu sentiments.

Are people too over-analytical and is this controversy overblown? Toss us your thoughts below.
