2NE1 celebrates 2nd anniversary

2NE1 is celebrating its 2nd anniversary this May 2011.

Consisting of 4 members including Sandara "Dara" Park, 2NE1 actually was founded in 2008 dubbed only as the "female BIGBANG" and it was only in March 30, 2009 that they were named as 2NE1.

But the group considers the date "May 17, 2009" as its official debut date when they made their debut performance of their official debut single "Fire" at the Inkigayo, a music program on SBS in South Korea.

A video of 2NE1 celebrating its 2nd anniversary last May 17, 2011 was shared by Dara herself via her me2day account (me2day/21dara). Watch!
Dara also posted a photo of their anniversary gift for each other...


In 2 years, 2NE1 managed to be one of the most successful and top-selling Kpop artists across Asia.

Their 2 albums, 2NE1 and To Anyone, both peaked at #1 in Korea and have a combined album sales of almost 300,000 copies.

Among 2NE1's hit singles which charted at #1 in Korea include "Lollipop" (feat. Big Bang), "Fire", "I Don't Care", "You and I", "Go Away", "Try to Follow Me" and the most recent single, "Lonely", which was released only last May 12, but immediately peaked at #1 in Korean charts within 4 days.
