Hit reality series 2NE1tv LIVE: WORLDWIDE – starring the phenomenal K-pop girl band 2NE1 (pronounced “twenty-one”) – is coming to the U.S. with the new season’s world premiere on Mnet. The leading 24/7 English-language network in the U.S. devoted to Asian pop culture will air the series, which follows the four members of the group as they live together while recording a new record, each Sunday night in primetime, beginning with the world premiere on July 17 at 8pm ET/PT, with an encore presentation the following Saturday (July 23) at 8pm ET/PT. The series will air for a total of ten weeks with over twenty half hour episodes.
For those of you who haven’t heard of them, 2NE1 is a South Korean group that debuted in 2009 with a number of singles and released their first album in 2010. Their songs have consistently hit the top of various music charts and they’ve received Mutizen, Cyworld and Asia Song Festival awards.
Although their name is “2NE1” it’s not pronounced “To anyone”. According to the group’s members it means “New Evolution of the 21st Century”. Their music style ranges from pop to hip-hip to reggae to electronic dance, so there’s something for everyone.
