If you didn’t know, their success was a very shocking kind since the beginning.
At that point, SNSD was on top of the kpop world with Gee, so everyone was expecting the new girl groups to feed off their success and come out with bubblegum pop type dance songs with pretty faces and cute expressions.
But 2NE1 debuted.
They were labeled as the ‘ugly but talented’ group. (which is ridiculous because they’re all gorgeous)
They weren’t normal (cute, sexy, dark concepts… not their thing).
They made a name for themselves, the best rookie group of the year. The best rookie group period.
In a span of two years, they have come to be one of the best groups out there. Most of the general kpop fans tend to forget that they’ve only been around two years.
But here’s the main thing.
They are probably the only kpop group that will ever willingly call themselves ugly. In an industry filled with obsession over beauty rather than talent or personality, it’s a really huge thing. Now, they know that they aren’t ugly, but that doesn’t mean that they’ve never felt like they were. They’ve also felt ugly in an outcast type of way.
In the end though, they’ve never had to fake their personalities. They didn’t change their music for such a judgmental industry, they didn’t change their style, and they didn’t change their personalities. Instead of being like other ‘idol singers’ out there and relying on variety shows to be liked, they relied on music.
So kiddos, don’t stop being yourselves and change for the crowd, just be yourself because someone will appreciate it.

The other members try to follow but fail BADLY.
When I typed in these girls names on google, I saw hurtful comments, that can ruin a person’s life. We should not judge these girls on what magazines say, or what the internet tells us. We know them for their popularity, but we love them for their talent and hearts. When I think of Demi Lovato, I don’t think of a girl who went to rehab, I think of this incredibly brave singer who went through a lot. When I think of Miley Cyrus, I don’t think of a girl who smokes salvia and takes pictures in her bra. I think of this girl who worked hard for what she got and deserves it. When I think of Selena Gomez, I don’t think of a girl who is dating people for publicity. I think of a truly kind hearted person who can sing and act. None of these girls deserve hate they get, in fact, no girl should ever have to feel what these three girls are going through. Most people look at these girls and think of the top row of pictures. I think of the bottom row of how beautiful these girls really are.
I’ve always thought of the bottom ones.
