2NE1 Nominated for Three Korean Music Awards + Nominee MV Clips

On January 18, 2012, the 9th Korea Music Awards committee announced their list of nominees. 2NE1 is nominated in three categories for Song of the Year, Best Dance & Electronic Song, and Netizens Choice. For the Netizen Choice category only those with Korean IDs can vote. Voting begins on January 18 and it will end on February 7, 2012. The Korean Music Awards will be held at AX-KOREA on February 29th at 7PM.

For those not familiar with the KMAs, it is one of the few awards that does NOT use sales and popularity as the major award criteria. Nominees and winners are chosen by a distinguished panel of music industry members based on their evaluation of music quality. Thus, even non-mainstream and indie artists are considered by the panel.

2NE1 has been nominated in the KMAs for every year since their debut. In 2010, the were nominated for Rookie of the Year and Best R&B & Soul Song (I Don't Care), but did not win. In 2011, 2NE1 was nominated and won the award for Best Dance & Electronic Album (To Anyone).

The awards ceremony was created with the intent to treat pop musicians as artists, not as entertainers; consequently, this award focused more on their achievements instead of their sales. There are a total of 25 different categories, and nominations were made by a selection committee.

Panelist Kim Chang Nam commented, “We did not differentiate between mainstream and non-mainstream. All songs and albums were tested under the standards by 60 different members on the committee. We tried our best in combining the musical tastes and judging standards in our nominee decisions.” Another panelist, Park Eun Seok has said of the KMAs, “There’s a lot of controversy over us not choosing popular artists for a popular music awards show, but I think that there’s a bit of confusion over the definition of ’popular music’. Popular music does not mean the public’s music. We consider the music in its entirety, without taking the level of awareness the song has, or its public and commercial achievement.”

Check out all the nominees in these three categories, we added clips of the lesser known artists, it's a very talented list of nominees.

CL mentioned on Angelo Elizabeth's interview (Fashion stylist/ Co-Owner of Fashion Watcher and sales advisor at Replay)

Who do you think is the best-dressed woman in the world?

The best-dressed woman in the world is CL of the Korean K-POP group 2NE1. She always looks stunning and her outfits perfectly describe who she is.

2NE1 donates over $17,000 to children’s hospital

We previously reported that 2NE1 paid a visit to the Yonsei Severance Hospital. Following up, it’s been revealed that the girls donated 20,000,000 won (approximately $17,600 USD) to help young patients with hearing disabilities.

Aside from making their official donation, the girls also held a small fanmeeting with the children and their families, sending them messages of hope with presents and holding an autograph session.

Maknae Minzy, whose birthday was also on that day, stated, “I’m very happy that I could spend my birthday with everyone!” As the group’s leader, CL stated formally, “Thank you for allowing us such a great opportunity like this. We hope we could be of help in the future as well.”

The donation will be used to help buy hearing aids for those children who cannot afford them.
