As promised by YG Entertainment, “FIRE”, the official debut single of their newest girl group 2ne1 was released today (May 6) at 11 A.M. KST. The official homepage of the group YG-2ne1.com have been releasing 10 second snippets of the tune since the start of May; the last sampler (which was yesterday) previewed a 1 minute version of the debut song.
But today’s digital release was a big one for 2ne1 fans. Not only did YG Entertainment provide a full version of the debut single, they also presented not one but two versions of music video for the hot-hot single (dubbed Space and Street MV Versions).
With the success of their unofficial single for LG Cyon “Lollipop”, 2ne1’s debut song “FIRE” will be expected to ride the top of k-pop charts in the weeks to come.
2ne1, YG Entertainment’s newest girl group, will be introduced “officially” this coming May 6 with the release of their debut single “Fire”. The release of the single (which will be available on online Korean music portals) will also coincide with the release of a brand new music video to accompany the debut. A re-edit 2nd version of the MV is also planned to be released sometime next month.
YG Entertainment also revealed some of the music styles that were incorporated on the single ‘Fire’. The debut single, the company stated, is infused with a mix of African percussion, eclectic Indian instrumentation, a touch of synth, a dose of hip-hop, and a spell of reggae beat. The song is composed by Teddy Park of 1TYM and choreography will be handled by Shaun Evaristo and Aimee Lucas.
The anticipated official TV debut of 2ne1 is scheduled to be performed on SBS Inkigayo on the 17th of May. Also planned to be released sometime in October is a mini-album of the group which will contain 10 tracks.
