On January 27, YG's girl group 2NE1 had been featured on ABC’s hit reality show “The Bachelor,” garnering a lot of attention in the United States and Canada.
“The Bachelor” cast got to visit YG Entertainment headquarters in South Korea. The show gave way to YG casting as the place where “K-Pop in South Korea happens,” and compared 2NE1 to the Spice Girls, saying that 2NE1 are megastars in Korea. 2NE1 then welcomed the cast, who came into their dance studio, and taught them the dance to “I Am the Best.”
One of the girls on the show said, surprisingly, “2NE1 is huge here in Korea. Their YouTube video has 77 million views. Million. That’s a lot of views.” 2NE1 has also been invited by the “Bachelor” cast to perform with them for “I Am the Best” in their mini concert at Times Square in Seoul.
After the broadcast of “The Bachelor,” 2NE1’s “I Am the Best” went up to 3rd place on the U.S. iTunes’ electronic singles chart, and also got the top spot on Canada’s electronic singles chart.
Meanwhile, 2NE1 will be starting their second world tour in March at the Seoul Olympic Park SK Handball Stadium.
