2NE1 is one of the most popular and iconic 2nd gen girl group and their disbandment feels like a giant chunk in the kpop tapestry was burned out. No one can erace their legacy. Thank you Caitlin for this reaction. Hoping you will react to them more.

caitlin : come back home, might be a softer side of them 2ne1 : getting ready to commit arson

2NE1 epitomizes the "you had to be there to know" phrase. I got into them around 2010, so I am a senior Blackjack and I can tell you, if you feel their power and energy now, after all these years, imagine being there watching their mvs as they released them. That's why I am so thankful you decided to do a deep dive into the group and get to know them a bit because even now after their disbandment, they deserve the attention, praise, and love because they are still one of the OGs in the kpop game. They still inspire the younger generation and to me, that says something!

I second this! I remember being there when YG announced 2NE1s debut date and was just a teen excited for new music. The eneeeeerrgy, charisma and colourful confidence gave me such a high lol but also helped me so much in building my self esteem. I cry at how happy my teen years were because of them along side other 2nd gen groups. I just remember the rage I felt when YG unexpectedly announced their disbandment. Had to take a long ass walk 😂

2ne1 to me is a once in a lifetime group. Like, they can always try to recreate the same vibe, group, concept, etc. but none will come close to the standard and legend that is 2ne1.

2NE1 definitely the OG Concept QUEENS. Their whole identity is girl crush and definitely did it best but the way their music continually evolved and they released title tracks that were different genres and ahead of its time. Their music videos, fashion and overall look being so upfront and peculiar too. Even after they disbanded I still listen to their songs and I still believe no one touches them and their impact. I hope you end up reacting to more of them coz people need to hear them, see them, WATCH THEM.

2NE1 is my favorite girl group, no matter if they’ve disbanded. They had the most iconic fashion style, concepts and discographies of all kpop. Ever.

Correct, you haven't seen 2NE1 if you haven't seen their live stages.

13:02 Oh, Super Junior were talking about this. They mentioned they have a new scary junior that just debuted that time. They can't even go near them. Backstage, they were joking around as usual. Suddenly, they hear someone trying their best to stop their laughter. They turned around and it was CL with the other members, decked in their usual flashy stage outfits. He said, "it's okay, you can laugh." She did. He went back to SUJU and announced, "they're not scary at all!!!" so loudly that they all laughed together 😂 Later on, they realised they were really soft individuals lol 💖

when it comes to live performances, they're the the definition of stage presence and charisma, when CL said "we bout to set the roof on fire" she didn't lie because they keep the same energy in their live performances

They invented stage presence and girl crush concept in kpop

You know the iconic meme of 2 houses beside each other, one was colorful while the other one was painted black, other GGs on 2nd gen would be the colorful one and 2NE1 would be the black one. They really stood out during that time. New fans may not understand it coz they were not there during the 2nd gen era. Their journey was cut short but they will always be legendary.

The acoustic guitar is part of the Come back Home Unplugged Version. It's basically an acoustic version of Come back home. Fun Fact there should be an MV for the Unplugged Version too but YG decided to combine both MVs into one, thus the Iconic MV with multiple genres is born. :D As a blackjack, I am happy with the choices for this video because it shows 2ne1's versatility with every song. They tend to have different concepts and style every comeback that's why the general public is excited about 2ne1's return. Also, 2ne1 is one of the few groups who performs LIVE dance practices during the days. 2ne1 has a lot of other emotional songs like Lonely, Ugly and Missing You. Hope you can react on them on your free time :) Thanks Caitlin for reacting to the queens!!

2NE1 changed kpop permanently. You had to be there to fully understand, but there had never been anything like them before and shortly after they debuted, you started to see other girl groups change. Not copying exactly, but the influence was undeniable. What YG did to them is unforgivable. Lots of agency botch their management, but what happened to 2NE1 was obvously deliberate. He actively killed them. Lied to CL about what was going to happen, locked her into another contract then killed the group and basically hid her in a basement unable to release music for years!

Personally, I really think it was yg who pushed her to leave so he can find a reason for their disbandment. He didn’t even consult the members and i can remember how the girls esp dara just felt clueless from all the things that was happening. And yes, there was even no proper explanation for cl!

Not to mention they put all the blame on Park Bom's mental health and Minji leaving as the reason they disbanded them and people actually believed that and harrassed our girls over it. But the truth did eventually come out after contracts ended and people could speak freely. YG did 2NE1 wrong but I also can't find it easy to forgive the fans who believed him and made it harder for all of them, even making CL feel bad for pursuing her solo career saying she didn't care about the group but what else should she have done? YG had already decided not to invest any more into them and Minji knew this which is why she got out early. It just gets me mad but I'm cool. We here to listen to music.

You can say "To Anyone". Their name is a reference to their new style for girlgroups at the time their debuted. Like, literally anyone could relate to the songs. Actually, 2NE1 is kind famous for having a fandom that is both male and female, in different ages.

They invented badass (gg) concepts in kpop and have unmatched charisma. Idk if people who are newer kpop fans understand just how iconic they are

Thank you for reacting to it hurts!!! Their slower songs gets overlooked so much but those are THE best imo. I think from your reaction/opinion you probably like songs from later in their carreer. Also, just to make you aware! Dara is expected to release her debut album this summer.❤ She is under the same label as Sunmi and Bambam.

"Lonely"

The 2nd Gen of kpop is when kpop became known worldwide and 2ne1 is one of the groups the kpop industry has to thank for.

51:03 The Come Back Home Music video combines two versions of the song. The acoustic verse comes from the Come Back Home Unplugged Version

I never shy to tell everyone that 2NE1 is my bias and they’ll be my forever bias. Blackjack forever.

To this day i dont think another girl group who is consistently this good at live performances. Theyre great at getting the crowd hyped, doing adlibs and making sure everyone knows theyre SINGING

they disbanded in 2016 and they only did AN ICONIC reunion for Coachella :)

MY OG & ICONIC QUEENS!! FALLING IN LOVE IS MY FAVE 2NE1 SONG EVER 🫶🏻

My bias is Park Bom because she went to my college! She’s a bit older than me so I don’t think I was ever there at the same time as her. But still. We love an idol who takes learning about music seriously!

Bruhh I remember this era they're so different from the other groups back then it's like they're ahead of their time iconic indeed

Before being an exol I was blackjack, 2ne1 is always my safe place, they were a very different group when they were active and I love them. Now I support other talented girl groups but for me 2ne1 still being the number one, these girls are amazing and their music save me in difficult moments when I was a little girl.

2NE1 was the first to kinda break the mold of the typical Korean girl group (think Gee from Girl's Generation as the usual sound we were getting at the time during 2nd Gen) and make it ok to be cool/girl crush. They paved the way for the girl crush concept that is normalised and that we see across many groups today 🔥 as someone who is absolutely not a cutesy girly girl, I really felt seen by them and they will always be special to me for that reason

2NE1’s music discography is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They tried every genre and their killed it. And teddy was so experimental back then with 2ne1, and they gave us hits after hits.

These girls are known for their badass, strong, and hyped songs. But when they go slow and ballad, they deliver emotions. True geniuses!

2ne1 was like a breath of fresh air back in the day. There were a lot of concepts in kpop girl groups in 2nd gen. But mostly cutesy, sexy or girly. Then 2ne1 came with the badass, strong and just overall different concept and feels. I think it won’t be wrong to call them the mother of kpop girl crush concept. They were a phenomenon then. I remembered how they changed the kpop game. After them, almost all GGs which debuted were all girl crush and strong concepts.

25:39 exactly why i am such a big fan of them, they truly made it ok for me to not be a girly girl haha

Thats not a little surprise, thats a HUGEEE surprise

2ne1 is the OG they are iconic and I’m still hella mad at YG for how they treated the girls. They deserved soo much more 😭

one of my favorite 2ne1 variety show stories was when CL was talking about how to handle being the group leader while being 7-ish years younger than bom and dara. she would use a creaky old lady voice and say stuff like "unnie, maybe this way is better" and they would answer back in their own creaky old lady voices. especially in that generation of kpop, it took a really creative personality to be leader as one of the younger members and still be respectful. it was really nice having idols who had some of the highest highs in their careers in their 30's as well. justice for bom. if you have time to check out 2ne1's epic mama 2015 performace, it's basically the same thing CL did at coachella. she was booked as a solo artist and brought bom, dara, and minzy as a surprise without the label knowing. and i do recommend checking out their video for 'goodbye' even tho it's sad as hell. minzy had left yg at that point and contractually, the other girls weren't even allowed to tell her the track was happening. apparently, it was written as a love letter to minzy as well as the fans. i am of the opinion that sometimes the big trees in the forest have to fall in order for the saplings to get more light, but it was heartbreaking how 2ne1 was treated. blackjacks are loyal though.

Caitlin: "We have a lot to see and I don't have a lot of energy..." Me: She has nothing to worry about. 2NE1 will provide the energy and it'll be infectious. Caitlin after Fire: Wheeeee~! 🤣

the concept @29:32 is one of my faves, they're literally just taking baseball bats to their 'records' cause that's what they did, they consistently smashed their previous records aAHHHH i miss them ;A;

12:20 that actually happens quite often, technically even YG, JYP and SM are all founded by idols/musicians themselves. YG (Yang Hyunsuk) was a first generation K-Pop artist who founded his own company YG, just like Park Jinyoung did with JYP.

You right Seo Taiji and the Boys is not kpop cuz they were a friends trio that wrote and produced their songs by their own, then they were discovered and signed under a label and debuted right after, zero training from a label, as western musicians do..while kpop idols are trained since they're children, they are taught not only how to sing, dance or rap but also how to answer to journalists question and how to pose...Yeah Kpop started with H.O.T and Sechskies...1TYM wasn't Kpop tho, they were Khiphop scene(YGE was an underground Khiphop Label) that's why YG said BIGBANG is his first Kpop group(Our 2NE1🥰 is YGE first Kpop girl group and YGE second Kpop group after BIGBANG🥰)

2ne1 is the first kpop group I love. Really miss them.

2NE1 is one of those groups who you could really see that they're enjoying their craft. It's like you were there holding the camera and shooting the practice with them. Such a nostalgia, totally missed these QUEENS T.T

2NE1 is one of the reasons I become a YG stan. I was so mad at YG for disbanding them. But I knew Yang Hyun Suk tried to defend them even after BOM scandal (which was not serious). But Back then I really want to burn YG building so much. I was so crazy about 2NE1 that I could cry. I wish we can still see them as 4 on stage again.

I loooooove 2ne1 I seriously couldn't love any other girl group the way I love them. Also, if you wanna check out some of their stuff even at your own time and not as a video, I'd recommend dipping your toes on their live performances. Honestly, that's my favorite thing about this group. They commanded the audience like you've never seen. Like even the songs you're unsure of when listening to the studio version, the moment you hear it live that "huh, yeah I get it!" moment comes to you. That was the case for me when it came to I Am The Best and Fire. It's just a shame, I got into kpop right before the hiatus the subsequently ended with their disbandment so I never got the chance to witness it in person. But just the videos...ugh! They're so satisfying. 😭

2NE1 as well as BIGBANG are just way ahead of their generation. They are the revolution of kpop. Majority of the groups that debuted after them are derived from them. It's been years since the disbandment news and I'll say I've moved on now but a part of me still feels the pain. Listening to their songs pains me but i miss them so much. Thank u Caitlin i miss my ults so much, they are my gateway to kpop. They are LEGENDS and PIONEERS of their own.

You might have noticed by now, but despite the YG ending being the most talked characteristic of the label, I think what really used to set YG apart from other agencies was that they valued really distinctive and unique voices. That's very prominent in 2ne1, all of them have very recognizable voices ❤

2NE1 will always have a special place in my heart as they are the group that got me into Kpop before I even knew what Kpop was. Such an iconic group.

2NE1 (and BIGBANG) are the best live performers in K-pop history, just putting it out there

2NE1 live perf is a 100 percent diff from their MVs. Total beast performers!!

They have the best ballads! I don't think I've ever encountered another girl group where I actually prefer their ballads. They are also very strong live performers.

I really love how you are looking at some of the older groups. Even if it's a few songs it helps see the evolution of KPOP. How the fashion, sounds, and choreo change. Also RESPECT to these QUEENS! They slayed!

I've seen 2NE1 live and I am the Best is super fun live but honestly all their songs are because they are such good performers. Their will probably never be another 2NE1, they were special for girl groups.

Omg! I’m an old kpop stan, I started liking K-pop because of 2ne1. I remember crying nonstop for like a week when they announced their disbandment. It heals my heart to know that they’re still the best of friends ❤

My all time favourite girl group ever. I mean they are so different and their music is totally set standards. Thank you so much for reaction, i miss them so much and guess who’s gonna cry and watch their old stuff tonight

First of all, thank you for reacting to the most iconic and legendary 2nd gen gg 2NE1. Girl, i am telling you now, their songs were all iconic and bops. And their love performances are insaneeeeee.

honestly it's 2023 and I just went back and rewatched their 2015 legendary MAMA Awards surprise performance 8 years ago, and I realised there's NO GIRL GROUP til now that has the swag that 2ne1 has

Thank you for reacting to 2ne1. 😭 I loved this so much. Forever my Queens and I'll forever be a Blackjack (Fandom name). They truly love each other and are still close after everything they have been through. I hope to see them reunite again very soon.

The first line in fire will always be iconic 😭 you can literally randomly say "i go by the name of cl of 2ne1" and anyone can immediately say the rest. 😭😂

I'm a mess watching this, vibing and crying at the same time 😂😢😂 Still my ult girl group ♠️♥️♦️♣️

No matter where Kpop goes today, 2NE1 will be forever my og ultimate group because of the impact they had on my life when I discovered them and how they shaped me growing up. They'll always be apart of my life. The name can be pronounced 2.N.E.1, To Anyone, or 21 which is why the fans are Blackjack. If there is ever a Part 2, Deep Dive, or just general 2NE1 reviews, I would suggest: 'I Don't Care', 'Gotta Be You', 'Ugly', 'Happy'. Their music is simply PURE JOY

My heart! 2NE1 is the once in a blue moon type of group that truly is timeless! These girls got me hooked the moment I listened to them. They were the ones who got me into K-POP. And to me, their live performances are unmatched. To this day, Big Bang and 2NE1 both remain to be icons who are on another level.

Every 2NE1 song are hit. They are legends.

Yeah 2NE1 is THE BEST!!! 💚💛🧡💜 soooo happy you’re checking them out! 😭🙏🏼

2ne1 isn't even a group I ever followed (I was more into other sounds) and even I'd say that there's something about them that's decidedly different from other kpop groups. Their charisma is so strong and unique!

1:00:50 This part of CL’s rap were actually their song title in previous album 1.In the club 2.Ugly(This one has music video and it so good) 3.I don’t care(this one also had music video and it was a bop when it came out every idol can dance to this) 4.Can’t nobody 5.Fire

2ne1 music has always been an auditory and a visual assault to the senses and they always did so much but they did it so well and they were a category of their own. Everyone says they are a legendary groups cause they are, they are such a big part of kpop history that they are still brought up in conversations today, i miss them and hope they are doing well ❤🖤

this is the real concept of savage and badass Queens!!! they didn't afraid to wear unique outfits ❤❤❤

They were the ones that brought me into kpop. The very 1st group I ever stanned. I am so happy to see a lot more people knowing them

They're the OG!! Their live performances were another level!! The Queens!

Still my favourite girl group to this day. YG did them so dirty. I’m glad you reacted to them! They deserve all the love in the world.

2NE1, my girls ❤ Honestly, the way they disbanded is still painful. YG stopped giving news about them and fans were just in the dark for so long about what was going on. I dont think anyone has forgotten YG for what they did to 2NE1. When CL performed at Coachella and invited Bom, Minzy and Dara to join her for a surprise 2NE1 reunion, everyone was crying, I swear to god hahaha I think a lot of people, me included, are still hoping they will reunite one day and release something new. It seems like most (if not all) of them are open to the idea? They were like one of my top GG from 2nd gen (along with Sistar, 4minute and Miss A). Thank you for this reaction and this series Caitlin! I also hope you feel better soon!

I scream when I saw you finally discovered the greatness. 🥰 2NE1 will be forever my fave. The authenticity of them is very different and i like how you point this out in your reaction. I know that you will come back for them again, enjoy ur journey in getting know 2NE1. 🥰🌸 Thank you for this reaction. It make my day 💓

MY QUEEN UNNIES!!! 2NE1 is the only GG I ever stan up 'til now. No one can top their charisma and stage presence!! Tysm for reacting to them.

Their baddies energy radiates through the MVs but they really freakin explodes during their live performances. Hope you will check it out in the future Caitlin!!

You know those artists you come across once in a life time and they’re so talented in every aspect you need to stan them?, that’s 2NE1 (at least for me), they’re such a strong, versatile, talented, unique and fun gg, you don’t see that very often, they were never afraid of being imperfect that was their brand, the cool girls that embrace their imperfections, that’s why they are THE og Girl Crush, it wasn’t a concept for them, they were the concept, they birthed it. We all know yg is one of the shittiest companies out there, but putting those four girls together was one the few things they did right, they knew what they were doing (they fumbled the bag terribly later but that’s another sad story) 2NE1 chemistry is one of the reasons the worked so well, they always felt like a family and together the shinned the most, I think they complemented eo so good. Something I gotta say is you NEED to watch their live performances, we all know 2NE1’s music and mvs are amazing but they are at their best in a scenario, their stage presence and charisma is out this world I swear, that’s my favourite thing to watch, ask your girl Rose for recommendations of their best live performances and have a good time, if you vibed in this video with these songs and music videos you’re gonna vibe way more I promise. One thing is for sure, with 2NE1 you’re gonna have a lot of fun and a great time, that’s a guarantee.

2NE1 is indeed iconic and they were the epitome of Girl Crush and they kicked the genre off Their debut Fire stage on Inkigayo is a much watch. YG also always uploaded their music show stages on their channel before it was something the networks did so you can watch them if you want. I would have loved "I Love You" or "Missing You." For Come Back Home they added her verse from the acoustic version into the MV...it was amazing at the time. Come Back Home was originally a Seo Taji and the Boys song...YG was one of the two Boys. Dara's BF was addicted to the Virtual World and 2NE1 blew it up. YG started the fashion connection to music so if you look at their MVs there are a lot of brands...like in I Am The Best Jeremy Scott and Christian Louboutin are featured heavily.

I discovered them randomly in like 2011 and was obsessed, had never seen anything like it. I didn't know kpop was a whole thing back then so I was just vibing with their stuff haha. Been looking forward to this episode and I'm glad you enjoyed their songs!

2NE1, were always, and will forever be ICONIC.👑👑👑👑

the time I started stanning 2ne1 was their hiatus and was disbanding, It was so sad when i found out their last performance was actually 2015 MAMA, them coming back to coachella and performing again felt like a fever dream! It was a dream come true 😭💗

Thank you for reacting to 2NE1 😢 They contributed a lot to the Hallyu wave, they brought a lot of fans into kpop and their music is just timeless. This video made my day.

I love how only 2ne1 is the only Girlgroup who can handle crazy hairstyles, but still slayed every MVs they make. Like the combination of 2ne1 plus Teddy is timeless. Like you can still listen to 2ne1 music up to this day and still relevant

First of all, THANK YOU ROSE!! Best picks for real! Secondly, FAIR ENOUGH! Their earlier songs were more fitted for that second gen era in kpop anyway, (btw their name 'twentyone' for the '21st Century' like hello?!?!) no one will blame you! That being said, when they came out, THEY CAME OUTTT and became every girl's first girl crush 😭Their talents really gave them a lot of versatility and their visual concepts were so different from typical girl groups back then they caught a lot of attention and yes! Their live stages and concerts were actually iconic the mics were always on, the energy exchanges with the crowd were top tier. Your commentary was the best Caitlin thank you

Thank you for the reaction. WE NEED PART 2 ASAP!!! Watching your reactions and vibing along really made me realize how much I missed them. But ya, I could never stan another girl group after them. 2NE1 is the standard. Their live performance is mindblowing.

You should know the 2NE1 bring the Girl crush concept for the first time in kpop, so yeah they are the original one at this concept 🤍✨

it hurts is one of their best tracks for me, like top 3. i’m usually not a ballad fan but! it’s just too good

It hurts is so so underrated tbh, one of their best songs ever

You can’t really know what to expect with these four. They can hype you up and also made all feels at the same time or in an album. That’s why their concert is really the show you shouldn’t miss because they will serve you anything you didn’t know you needed. Check their other ballads like If I were you, Lonely and Missing you and also UGLY!!

Miss the old style dance practices where not everything was so polished and it just looked like an actual practice

2NE1 was one of the girl groups I like when I started liking Kpop which was back in 2009 when they debuted so been a Blackjack since the start. Their discography is top tier although it's not that much compare to other groups cause YG. I think they are one of the first ones if not the first one to do a girl crush concept when it was all like bubble pop songs for girl groups are the ones being release. Thank you for reacting to them. If you have the time you should definitely check out all their songs. Oh btw, there is an unplugged version of come back home where the acoustic rap that CL did on the MV is there.

Omg you don't even know how much this group made impact EVERYWHERE! LIKE WE WANTED THOSE CRAZY HAIRSTYLES BACK IN THE DAYYYY. I'm glad you finally discovered them

2NE1 is first KPOP artist that get me into KPOP in 2009, miss them so muchhh😢❤

Now i'm at the end of the video and you have to know that I ENJOYED IT A LOT CAITLIN 😭😭✊ These song hit me differently because it makes me flashback on so many golden memories with my besties back then in my JHS era, vibing into these songs and even learn the choreo. When i watched your reactions, I'm laughing, vibing, and dancing along with you. Tbh i was not even their fan but their songs is always iconic that even non fans know it well. Thankyou for making this reactions 🤍 I personally wanna say that you really made my day 🥺🤏
