YG will change ‘female Big Bang’ English name from To Anyone to 2NE1

fbb_250309

YG clears up about the matter of ‘female Big Bang‘ group 21 having the same name as another singer.

YG said, “It is such a shame that we didn’t thought of a singer with the same name. Even though we do not have any plans to change their name, we will change the English name of ‘To Anyone (투애니원)’ to 2NE1. “

“Though they have the same name, the meaning to the names are different. Hence we hope that fans will not misunderstand. Please continue to support the group.”

Meanwhile, 4-member group 21 prepares to debut in May.

Broadcaster Hyun Yeong, who debuted as a model, models for fashion designer Ahn Yoon Jeong for Seoul Fashion Week F/W 09/10 in Seoul SETEC on 28th March.

Though I never liked her, I thought she rocked the dress.

    OH so HyunYoung was a model? I’m generally fine with her if I don’t have to hear her talk… XD She’s funny though. It’s hard to pull off that dress, but she looks great. And she’s toned, wow.

    HyunYoung is okay
    as long as she doesn’t sing or try to be sexy

    cuz to me she’s a pretty awesome comedian
    and the fact that she’s dating Kim Jong Min won her points from me

    and she is rocking that dress

    Haha guys, stop freaking out. ;p It’s just a name. Kpop names are hardly stellar anyway.
    And if you don’t like pronouncing all the syllables in 2NE1, just say 21 fast. Same thing. But I’m happy YG cleared up the whole name thing. It was very professional of him. ❤

    AHHHHH

    SO CONFUSED. Can’t we just get a normal name? Not all of this fancy spelling and “hidden” meaning stuff -__-

  19. Biscuit, on March 30, 2009 at 3:34 pm said:

    2NE1 is pretty good ^^

    To Anyone/21 was a bit plain.

    ;DDD

  21. momo, on March 30, 2009 at 2:57 pm said:

    they will retain the name 21 but only changed the English name from To Anyone to 2NEI

  22. elusive, on March 30, 2009 at 2:56 pm said:

    i prefer 2NE1 over toanyone.

  23. boo, on March 30, 2009 at 2:48 pm said:

    THANK GOODNESS IT’S STILL “21” !!!
    It’s okay if it changed from ToAnyone to 2NE1, not horribly drastic.

  30. nimco, on March 30, 2009 at 2:12 pm said:

    this is a little confusing so they can’t be “ToAnyone” but they’ll only be 21 the number?

  31. boo, on March 30, 2009 at 2:09 pm said:

    I hope the other guy won’t have a big problem with this.

    YG 21, fighting!
