Fault — What has been a standout moment for you as a group so far?
DARA – Our standout moment would definitely be our concerts. It’s always exciting and fun, and it makes us happy to be able to perform for our fans on stage. Our New Evolution tour is even more meaningful due to the fact that it’s a global tour.

Fault — Do you feel any extra pressure to measure up to expectations and hype of bringing the K-Pop scene to the world?
MINZY – Rather than extra pressure or a sense of duty, we just want to provide music that everyone can enjoy all over the world. I just hope that K-pop receives more love and attention in the future.

Fault — You’ve been working with designer Jeremy Scott for Adidas. How has that collaboration been going?
CL — Jeremy Scott really understands 2NE1 and has been our friend since our debut, so the collaboration went really well. It was our first real collaboration with a designer, so it was very meaningful for us.

Fault — If you could work with any musical artist or band, who would it be and why?

Fault — How does it feel to be the first Korean girl band to headline a global tour?

Fault — You rehearsed and trained as a group for about four years prior to your first release. Do you think all that formal training played a key role in your success?
BOM – Of course–YG [Entertainment, the record label and talent agency behind 2NE1] doesn’t necessarily teach you a special way of doing things: they let you develop naturally and find out who you are as an artist. I feel that this really helped me personally and has played a key role in our success.

Fault — What was it like for you the first time you heard your song being played on the radio or saw your first video?
BOM – The memory is still fresh in my head. Our training period was really long, but it was all well worth it. We felt very excited and were desperate to start performing and sharing more music with everyone!
