2NE1, I am the Best DAUM Interview



2NE1 released "I am the Best" on June 24th. From the calm image shown in their other new song "Lonely", "I am the Best" shows a whole different side to the girls. With the other recently released songs such as "Lonely" and Park Bom's "Don't Cry" having dominated the Korean music charts without promotions, we will have to wait and see how "I am the Best" is critically received.

Q: Please introduce yourselves to Daum Music users.
2NE1: Hello Daum Music users! You've waited a long time, right? We are 2NE1, who just came back with an exciting song, "I am the Best".

Q: What type of album is this digital single of "I am the Best"?
Dara: This song is a product of YG's producer Teddy oppa. It's an addicting song with an electronic feel, and just from the title, you can tell that it's a fun song with a fast beat. If it plays at a club it will be very appropriate and exciting.

Q: If one says 2NE1, many think of the strong and various concepts. What is the concept of this song?
Dara: The best concept?? (laughter)
CL: It's a concept that is original to 2NE1. Please watch our performances for an accurate answer.



Here are handwritten responses to additional surprise questions!
