  • "And those girls are special"

    You are so damn right! haha XD GO 2NE1!

  • 2NE1 IS THE BEST!! :) everyone knows that it's a fact.

  • I think 2NE1 could be big worldwide too, they're already known in several different countries but not by the majority,

    I just wish they'd get on the radio in other countries like the U.S. !! They just need the right connections . A connection wil Will . I . am . is pretty good,

    When BoA debuted in the U.S. she never really made it big :\ Don't get me wrong, she's great but she just never made it that big

  • Love the idea that Will.I.Am is going to bring them greater recognition in USA and around the world, but I really hope he produces a 2NE1 album and not just 2NE1 performing a Black Eyed Peas album. imo, they could benefit from his marketing power, but they already have the talent. So just promote them and let them do their own thing.

  • I think it was unnecessary for him to say that they just have to make the 'right type' of music to make people want to know 2NE1..is he going to make them sing in english and give them a 'more universal' look that will damage what they represent? They work too hard already and are far more popular than most bands. I get where he comes from but he could have worded it differently.

    point is: why do korean artists feel the need to expand to America and the rest of the world by singing in english?

  • I'm feeling like his intention is more for fame (of being known as the singer who brought the group internationally) than genuinely wanting to work with them cuz they are amazing...idk 2NE1 fighting!

  • 0:19 lol, the first country he mentioned was Brazilll, yay i feel so proud of here right now u.u

  • I'm sorry but what's wrong with that women .LOL

  • Will.a.am don't forget the Middle East 2NE1 have a lot of fans here already, especially in Saudi Arabia -3 BJ forever

  • 6 months later.. .

  • don't get me wrong i love 2ne1 but how come bigbang never debuted in america they've been around a bit longer and have millions of fans world wide i don't get it

  • @choafanfoeva i have been dying for them to debut in america =_= THEY WOULD MAKE It! all the swag and talent.. oh yeah xD

  • theyre already succesful outside of korea, like seriously like here in australia, even if they fail at their debut theyre still going to be hugely popular but i do hope that they are successful and reach a wider audience. it would be awesome to have a greater representation of asians in the world of western culture entertainment

  • YEAH, CANADA! ♥

  • does switching to geico save you 15% more on car insurance?does listening to 2NE1 make your life better?yes it does

  • i wish david guetta meets 2ne1 too

  • OMG, WILL.I.AM GONNA WORK WITH 2NE1, IM SO HAPPY!!!!!

  • hey Will.l.am YOU FORGOT TO SAY SOUTH AMERICA. CUZ WE LOVE THEM

  • @anais2005 he said brazil

  • @jerseygurll15033 yeah but BRAZIL is not South America

  • All these comments are getting on my friggin nerves. You all speak English and yet you've listened so poorly. He is not saying he "FOUND" 2ne1 as though they were nothing and he's going to rise them to the top. He FOUND them as in he stumbled upon their existence one day and he thinks he can help them, and he wants to. You people are ridiculous. Get a clue.

  • @Kpopmusiccountdown last i checked it will be after their done with their Japanese promotions

  • lol does the lady know what he is talking about or she is just ignoring him?

  • 2ne1 has a better shot than the wonder girls making it in the states

  • hehe the lady is like yes yes yes xD

  • @lordanksova lol no, trust me, they'd know. And they're not.

  • people are taking my comment way too seriously

  • Will.I. am now that I have found 2NE1? .......I didn't realise they were lost lol

  • It's not about them being KNOWN. It's about their songs playing on Foreign radiosssssss!! (hopefully in American!! D:<)

  • haha to me, the interviewer does not look impressed at all XD

  • @p0ckypenguin Lol right? >.<

  • 2ne1 is already big everywhere. But we want them BIGGER.

  • @SmileSwirly I'm not quite sure about that. 2ne1 is not well known in the US.

  • Will.I.am is the best person for the girls...i'm so happy...i honestly want to cry...im so happy for them! GO 2ne1!

  • Ah yes yes yes yes ! Lol

  • LOL! they already known in Brazil, Australia, etc

  • Hey blackjacks. Don't forget to watch 2NE1 TV on MNET and also 2NE1's Youtube page!

    Catch up if you missed some episodes.

  • Guys I don't really think Will.I.Am is hoping to co-own 2NE1 or anything like that, as I see so many of you thinking. I see Will.I.Am more as a fan who can actually help them. I think Will.I.Am is mainly saying that now that he "found" them, as in discovered who they are and how good they are, he wants to help and contribute to their success out of Korea such as America and other places where he himself is successful. He wants to help them, not own them.

  • yayyy xD

  • @TFPlenty Well avex has already taken part ownership of 2NE1 in Japan so that's at least one pie Will.I.Am can't put his finger into ;)

  • lol she said "yes" at least 11 times during the interviews. That's around 1 "yes" every 6 seconds :P somebody give her a medal ;)

  • ahh yes.. yes yes... yeseuh... yes-euh ah yes...

    *in her mind* - "i honestly don't know what else to respond with.. my english isn't exactly refined so i hate that the tv producers made me do this.."

  • it´s Great that he want´s 2ne1 to be succesful outside of korea, but he should not say he has "Found" 2ne1 and that he wants to be known for having "found" them! 

    He doesn´t OWN 2ne1 and he should NOT take the credit for 2ne1´s fame!!!

  • @IDmarii i think what he meant by found as in like "i found this paper ball on the floor." i believe the term you think it is founded, like " i co-founded this company." and YG founded 2ne1 or produce them as a group :)  will i am is also a producer, so in other words, he wants to help them get even more well-known in the usa and in other countries :) yet 2ne1 has made a lot of fans on their own so they dont really need will lol

  • @sadmoon108 Thanks for explaining it :) i´m just scared that when 2ne1 get famous outside of korea, people will say they found them first xD

  • @IDmarii well in the end YG will be there main record label i think. i think too in other countries they would have other record labels for that country so they could produce their music there :) my problem with the "i found them first" would be their new fans says they listen to them first when it was us who went out seeking them lol im glad i helped you :)

  • Black eyed peas suck. 2NE1 is WAYYYY bettterrrrr!!!!!

  • yes,yes,yes,yes I don't understand you so ima say the only word that i know, yes,yes,yes. . .

  • Yes,Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes......

    

  • During the interview:

    Will.I.am: do you know how to say anything other than yes?

    Lady: yes

    Will.I.am: -__-

  • LOL, what's with the lady? She's just saying, yes yes yes, hmm uhem, yes hm hmm yes HAHAHAHAHA XD

  • she couldnt say nothin else but yes yes yes yes we know now how she is in the bed yes oooooo yes yes yes

  • Yes Yes Yes Mhm Yes Yes Oh Yeah

  • In London and the UK.. hmm

  • props to will.i.am for not cracking up on the spot. if i was talking to her and she just kept saying yes i wouldve been laughing my ass off!

    will.i.am loves them! You should too!!!

  • ah, yes, yes, yes, and more yesss!!! doesn't she have anything else to say? bwahahahahaahahah!!!!!!!!!  They should have had another interviewer who can speak english..

  • pshh 2NE1 is already succesfull outside of korea, they just dont know it yet :P

  • @lordankosova mostl likely in the far east outside of Korea but I think they may have limited reach in europe and us.

  • @lordankosova They're not famous at the strict sence of the term. Can u go to a random person in the subway asking them if they know 2NE1 being sure that the answer is yes?

  • @rosaviolet hey what she ment to say is that every one know who 2NE1 are, but that 2NE1 doesn't know that they are very popular every where.

  • @lordankosova definitely!

  • Nononono Will.I.Am is nothing to be excited about.

  • I'm So glad that Will.I.am has them, and not Akon or Dr. Dre

  • It's like she was having sex or something

  • 2NE1 is awesome....will.i.am and the Black Eyed Peas however have gone way down hill. If I were 2NE1 I'd keep my distance.

  • @TelepathicPebble Maybe if he stays low on the auto-tune etc and takes advantage in a good way of their vocal power and swag~ Like an album with a bit more R&B, old school more HIPHOP songs too like the BEP used to do with a kpop/2NE1 flavor twist...not just electronic club banger tracks they'll have a better change of making it in my opinion. He can produce good music only he's a bit to obsessed with this current I-make-a -song-that-I-can't-even-sing-l­ive-song-trend. ^_^ So 2NE1 NOLJA~

  • @xbomtori they did have some nice songs back in the day I'll say that, they should definitely go back to their roots.. But BEP's performance at the super bowl put them even farther down on my list to be honest. If they ditch their over-use of autotune then maybe they can make a comeback yes.

  • @TelepathicPebble Oh, I just saw/heard what you meant >_<'~ Seriously though, some songs are like really catchy and just meant to be for clubbing and not to be sung live. I hope he'll just find a way to still showcase that 2NE1 is also talented on their own and not just some fixed up studio product. Even if they're gonna be auto-tuned that they'll still be able to pull it of live too, which they usually/actually can when the soundsystem is good while performing ^_^

  • I've got a feeling~ (sorry couldn't resist) that Will does care for the girls. So for now, I feel like they'll be in good hands. Teddy is there beside them and papa YG himself is also watching over them carefully. SIDE NOTE: Since GD&TOP/Bigbang are working with DJ Diplo again (He made the instrumental for Knockout), I hope he'll have time to make some crazy beat(s) for 2NE1 as well to be on their US album. That would be hot @_@

  • YES

  • i'm from the u.s, i fricken' love 2ne1, and i actually don't listen to much american music that much anymore not saying is bad or anything though.....

  • Yeah will.i.am bring 2NE1 to America!! And while your add it bring BigBang along too xD

  • Will.i.am. PLEASE BRING 2NE1 TO AMERICA!!!!! XD

  • EU agree - I love 2NE1 xD

  • seeing will.i.am excited about 2ne1 gives me hope that they will be the first major korean group to go worldwide, and not just in asia. They're probably the ONE group that'd be able to do it. LOVE 2ne1!!!!

  • Americans are alot less trashy back in those days compared today , back in those days they atleast have clothes on , over time ppl change !

  • Why some of you keep thinking american music suck , American music from the 1920's

    30's 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's early 90's mid 90's and late 90's are the best compared today there music/art is dying they can't help it but to deal with it , don't forget that Americans influenced other countries like jazz , blues , swing , hiphop, pop , country

  • why it always Brazil and canada -.- her in Asia alot of fans more than canada

  • WAUW !!! qq she doesn't understand nothing at all if i would talk 2 her i would get irritated

    hey how are you? yes u doing good yes COME ON !!! qq Will.i.am is serious here qq

    well he should do it i say cuz i do enjoy black eyed peas + 2ne1 so yeah go for it ^^

  • lol dara should hangout with apl de ap too

  • I think 2NE1 has what it takes to be HUGe here in America, I would certainly support them. They're English is very good too. I don't think they would change they're style all that much because they like it that way and thinking about kpop and American music, the two don't vary all that much in the first place. American music has pathetic lyrics, with that I agree, but 2NE1 is the type of group who can hold their own in other countries. Tey'll have good music and great lyrics! :) Can't wait!!!!!

  • lmfao, all the lady can say is "yes..yes..yes.." LMAO

  • 2ne1 is not good....THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!

  • Two top comments said all I wanted! XD

  • Kpop forever♥

  • im so happy that will iam birthday is on march 15 same thing as me

    GO 2NE1! AND WILL I AM

  • This is really amazing. I can't believe they worked with Will.I.Am.

  • Their television is so pretty @- @

  • lol the interviewer didn't say much -_-

  • Wow.. Does Ji Yeon even understand what he's sying? Looks like she's staring on air. "Ah yes... yes... oh yes... yes..." Seems like she needs to go home and fix some problems. .. I don't think 2NE1 should go outside Korea, or just stay in Asia. Not US or anywhere else. :(

  • @Yashagoro WHy not?

  • @MKW2011 Because I think they should keep to kpop and Korean. They sound good in it and that's why I like them. Probably they would sound different and have very different songs in foreign languages and that'd be no longer kpop.

  • @Yashagoro but that would boost their popularity if they went international

  • @Yashagoro I understand that its k-pop but seriously, South Korea is small ass country. If I were them I would love to go international too and pursue my music in different amazing countries that I bever been before. Also I gree with @icevirgo99.

  • @MKW2011 The thing is, they'd prob. change if they'd go international. If S.Korea is too small, then Asia is good and big enough. But not like US or other continents. They'd try to be more American and their music style would certainly change somehow. The groups debuting in Japan for instance, just there you can already clearly see the difference between their J and K songs. So just imagine the difference in the US... But wherever they go, all I wish for is that they keep their kpopiness.

  • @Yashagoro well, most likely how music industries are, their music isnt going to be the same as it is in S.Korea. I guanrantee you that by a long shot.

  • Baek Ji Yeon is a decent interviewer in Korean but she's a terrible English Interviewer. What a boring one sided interview!

  • Will: "And I hung out with 2ne1 yesterday so I'll be working with them tonight in the studio."

    BJY: "Yes. Oh, I see. So you met... 2ne1 again..."

    *awkward silence*

    Will: "Yes. THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID, B****."

    ...

    LOL.

  • If they come anywhere in Europe, I will be on the first flight to that country to watch them live!

  • Music is universal. There's no such thing as 'You can't understand what they're singing' or whatever. Will.I.Am, my respects to you, for loving 2NE1 with us, Blackjacks (: !

  • YESS, AA YESS LOLOL

  • 12 Yes's

    4 Hmm's

    7 Countries mentioned

    lol

    2NE1 Fighting!

  • 2ne1 HELL YEAH! im in london and i love them! all my friends who like kpop love them! and we're all english (well one is from the phillipines ^^) 2ne1 ARE SPECIAL!

  • I`m from Lithuania and I loooooove 2ne1!!!!!!

  • in New Zealand and am loving 2ne1 ^^

  • YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

  • 2NE1 Gonna rock the world

  • Don't insult her. I watched that talk show. she is korean, but she talked with will i am for fifty minutes very well and fluently in that talk show. thanks for her effort, all of Korean viewer could feel sympathy. thanks for reading my sentence.

  • what tha FUHH was up with that lady? Probably didn't even know what he was talking about

  • I think 2NE1 will be successful in outside Korea! ~ Will.I.Am

  • 2NE1 America already LOVES you!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • He wont be known for that.. xD they re already successful :3

  • Will.I.Am is hardcore.

  • They already are successful outside of Korea.

  • that lady wasn't a good interviewer. "ah, yes, yes, yes" i don't even know if she understood what he was saying. lol

  • yesssssssssssssssssss

  • YES, YES, YES, YES, YEEEEEESSS

  • will.i.am, stop listing countries, we know there are a lot of them.

  • fucker stole my gloves.

  • Yes, you're right!! 2NE1 will be known all over the world becuase those girls are special!!!

  • 2ne1's already massive in london :P lol

  • @keonedk I wouldn't say massive, I've never met another 2NE1 fan here or heard their songs lol

  • I LOVE YOU 2NE1! CANADA ADORES YOU! I loved you guys ever since Lollipop :)

  • If u decide not to like 2ne1 b/c they're going to get more popular internationally, then you probably never really liked them in the first place. It's better to be yourself then strive so hard to be original that you can't honestly/truly enjoy things that make you smile.

  • Black eyed peas and 2ne1 two of my favorites ^^

  • yes, yes, ah..... yes

  • San Francisco loves you 2NE1! Can't wait until you come to the US!

  • I'M IN SWITZERLAND AND I ALREADY LISTEN !!!

  • 2ne1 is the best!!!

  • hahah yes..*nod x50

  • hahaha ... the lady just says ..

    YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES ....

  • @mavenger3000 seriously...

  • @theama86 nah, literally .. -_- ... 

  • black eyed peas don't have lyrics, their songs are repetitive pieces of shit but they sell a lot because "people like to go to night clubs". I want more ballads and pop songs from korean authors instead of this nigger's shitty songs, he seems so full of himself it's almost unbelievable...

  • see thats 2ne1!!! your too popular now and those people who dislike again this video!!! your such a looser!!! insecurity never brings them down!!

  • i don't like when he says her found them , they are very well established . i think they are found already lol what he should say is he wants to introduce them or take further than korea

  • The journalist : Yes , Yes yes , yes , humhum Yes xD

  • Yes!! I love you will.i.am, please bring 2NE1 to America :3

  • 2ne1 World Domination!!! Oh yeaaah!! I'd love to go to a concert - come to Hawaii for cryin out loud!!

  • i appreciate will.i.am's interest in 2NE1, and i think it's awesome that he sees so much potential in them.. i'm just terrified that he'll do to them what he did to BEP

    doesn't the thought of that make anyone else shudder?

    they're already pretty well known, i think they just need to market them to the rest of the world rather than have will.i.am work with them.. idk, i'm scared LOL

    please, please, pleaaaase don't make them sound like crap!

  • @BlindedInChainss what do you mean he did to the BEP? i dont get it.. arent they still a group?

  • @BlindedInChainss What? He didn't do anything to BEP. If I am thinking what you think, then you mean the whole electro sound thing. Um... 2NE1 is pretty much electronic sounding from the get go. If not, please explain.

  • @BlindedInChainss thats exactly what i thought, i hope their music stays individual to them, and doesnt turn into the western crap we have to bear D:

  • @BlindedInChainss

    oH! he must have produced that song that's playinG! (can't nobody) I heard it and the first thing that came to my mind was US pop and then BEP... :S

    I mean it isn't bad but it doesn't sound as k-pop to me... i like k-pop cos it is different, very WELL produced, but weird and funny. I also appreciate that he wants to make 'em more famous, but i would prefer him to step back and leave their music as it is, or then all kpop is gonna sound like that song and it wont be interesting

  • @Gacu001 none of his supposed stuff he's produced for them has been released yet. can't nobody is Teddy's work i'm pretty sure.

    i agree with you, that's why i'm scared! i don't want him to take away what makes kpop what it is. i'd be cool with him working along side Teddy and their current producers, cause that'd be amazing, but if they're leaving him to his own devices, uh oh. his ideas are good, they just come out sounding underproduced and unfinished

  • a very talkative interviewer hehehe

  • Brazil already loves 2NE1

  • We already love 2NE1 now!! i just hope the music they make in english will be as good as theyre korean stuff. i mean, theyre quite different to western stuff, i hope they dont get draged into making western style music. im sure thye wont, because theyre so amazingly unique <3

    BLACKJACKS HWAITING <3

  • @MissSONE9GIRLS What's western style music? 2NE1 isn't making traditional Korean music. They are already west inspired.

  • @Harleybear09 well i know that, but what i mean is i hope they dont go down the route of singers like gaga or katy perry, making boring repetitive songs, or songs all about sex and drinking. their beats and things, image, videos etc are all totally unique from our western rubbish, which is all the same.

  • @MissSONE9GIRLS Well first of all, Gaga is pretty OUT THERE and 2NE1 are more commercial in a way. I cannot see 2NE1 doing what Gaga does. I stick up for gaga a bit cause I like her music. I'm not one of those creepy people that call themselves little monsters, but I still like her and I don't think she is repetitive. Usually when people don't listen to a certain kind of music thesome of Gaga's music. Sex is all over, too late. I have never had an issue with people who drink, so... IDK.
