But it’s raining so much here that it’s dark already even though its only 11:58am~~ kekeke Us girls bring the rain with us where ever we go!”

The girls will be performing a concert to celebrate their achievement as MTV Iggy’s “Best Band in the World” on the 12th.

Latest tweets from 2NE1′s Minzy worry fans

2NE1’s Minzy left a mysterious message on her Twitter earlier today.

She tweeted, “If you don’t have much interest, then it’s right that you don’t need to hide it. It’s right not to lie, but you always give ambiguous answers. It’s not that I really don’t know.. I’m just pretending I don’t… Disappointment and expectations all fall.. There is a limit to how much I can pretend to be deceived and how nice I can be.”

She then tweeted the lyrics to Beyonce’s “Me, Myself, and I” shortly after. “I’ve Been So Blind It Feels Right When It’s Wrong. It Took Me Some Time But Now I Moved On. Cuz I Realized I Got.”

Seeing the tweet, worried fans commented, “I don’t know what’s wrong, but please cheer up,” “It seems like she has a lot going on in her heart. Fighting!”

In related news, 2NE1 was recently awarded the title of ‘Best New Band in the World’ by MTV Iggy.

2NE1′s Park Bom Announces “I Am Starting My Tweets”

Although she created her Twitter account back in June of last year, it wasn’t until today that 2ne1‘s Park Bom showed her intent to actively use the popular social media platform. Bom changed her twitter profile to state, “Hi~~~^^ I’m starting my tweets~~*^^*2NE1 BoM☻”

Late last night, Bom tweeted greetings to Viva‘s Han Young, one of 2ne1′s former stylist. However, she immediately deleted the tweet. Fans who had been excited about her tweet were instantly crestfallen, assuming that the leggy idol would go back into Twitter hibernation.

However, much to the suprise of everyone, about an hour ago Bom came alive on twitter. She tweeted, “Good morning~~~( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ everyone~*:.｡..｡.:*･’(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)’･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*from here in Japan~~~*^_____^*“, with an excess of emoticon-aegyo, much to the delight of Blackjacks everywhere. As expected, she was bombarded by morning greetings from all over the world.

In addition to chatting it up with fellow 2NE1 member Minzy, she shocked fans by changing her profile picture to this uber-sexy bathtub photo. Fans were amused to see her beloved Moomin doll in the photo as well.
Unfortunately, the bubble-Bom default picture was short-lived. She has since changed back to her equally sexy, but much less risqué headshot.

Netizens gushed, “Good morning !! Finally you‘re tweeting.  “, “I hope you continue tweeting after this day! Thanks for starting up twitter again ^^“, and “Kya –Bom-tan, it’s been awhile”

Character-Idol Look-A-Likes More Similar Than ‘Pororo-Yoo Jae Suk’?

A collection of pictures comparing idol stars to cartoon characters is becoming a hot topic amongst netizens.

A netizen posted pictures of idol stars and the cartoon characters they resemble under the title ‘Character-Idol look-a-likes, 100% Resemblance Challenge’.

Including many of the nation’s currently popular idol stars, the post compared Big Bang’s Daesung to Ugly Doll, Taeyang to Mashimaro, 2PM’s Jang Woo Young to the KeyBot robot, Junsu to a palace guard in ‘The Prince of Egypt’, Chansung to The Simpson’s Mr. Burns, 2NE1′s Gong Minzy to Strawberry Doll, B2ST’s Yang Yoseop to the goblin ‘DdookDdaki’, SHINee’s Minho to Vulpix, Onew to Chicken Little, Girls’ Generation’s Jessica to Cappy and TVXQ’s Changmin to Spongebob’s Squidward.

2ne1 Minzy celebrated her 18th Birthday!

Although 2NE1 has been on vacation from their promotional activities (with Dara in the Philippines, CL in France, Minji possibly in Jeju Islands, and Bom in some unknown location), the four girls came together and celebrated Magnae-Minji's 18th birthday with other YGE staff.

Trainer Hwang tweeted from Minji's party, a photo of the cake:

밍끼 생파에서~^^

at Mingkki's birthday party~^^

Members at YGLadies.com were overjoyed to see that the cake was a gift from YGL's project Walk Like a Minji! It is also especially heartwarming for the international Blackjacks that Minji, 2NE1, and the staff loved YGL's cake so much that they used it as the 'main cake', as the red '1' and blue '8' candles were added on. It's safe to assume that it was the cake that sat in front of her as her friends sang "생일축하합니다~ 민지" (Happy Birthday~ Minji) and the cake that Minji blew out the candles upon.

Minji, who recently signed up on twitter under the username mingkki21, even posted a photo of the cake herself:

너무 예쁜케이크~~^^ 덕분에 눈이 호강했어요~ㅋㅋ

Such a pretty cake~~^^ Thanks to you guys, my eyes were graced~ keke

The beautiful cake was designed by vie en rose (Thy), paid for by YGL, 2NE1's largest international fansite, and its members, and ordered from a Korean bakery and delivered to 2NE1 by ne-people.net, 2NE1's largest Korean fansite.

Looks delicious!!

2NE1's Minzy joins the Twitter frenzy

2NE1's Minzy becomes the first member of the hot girl group to join Twitter! The first person to welcome 2NE1's maknae to Twitter was Ji Ju Lee (@ljj82ok). It seems that the word has already spread and has already gained 800+ followers.

It looks like Minzy isn't having much of a problem learning how to use Twitter so far. But, you never know if she'll have a fail moment like JYJ when they first entered the Twitter world.

Hopefully, Minzy will be able to convince Sandara, CL, and Park Bom to join Twitter soon. Make sure to follow Minzy (@mingkki21) on Twitter!
