It was announced that the Korean 4-member girl group 2NE1's newest song "Ugly" will be used in the commercial for the October issue of Takarajimasha's "sweet," an immensely popular woman's fashion magazine.
"Ugly," which has started its limited initial release through Recochoku on 8/31, is a 4-beat pop medium number. It shows a "girlish/feminine 2NE1," in contrast to the "cool 2NE1" represented by "I Am The Best," which started its limited initial release on 7/20. Listeners can picture the full-scale cuteness of the girls within "Ugly"'s pop melodies.
The lyrics, such as , are about pessimistic thoughts of girls. The realistic lyrics that describe the vulnerability of girls will definitely be relatable to the readers of the women's fashion magazine "sweet."
In addition, 2NE1 will be making their first appearance on Japanese TV via the 9/2 episode of Music Station, airing at 8pm. On top of that, starting on 9/19, they will kick off their 1st Japan tour <2NE1 1st Japan Tour "NORZA in Japan">, with 70,000 attendees expected nationwide, and promotional activities for their 9/21 Japan debut (mini album "NOLZA" release).
Starting now, they're expected to make even bigger headlines all across Japan.
