YG will change ‘female Big Bang’ English name from To Anyone to 2NE1

They will retain the name 21 but only change the English name from To Anyone to 2NE1

YG clears up about the matter of ‘female Big Bang‘ group 21 having the same name as another singer.

YG said, “It is such a shame that we didn’t thought of a singer with the same name. Even though we do not have any plans to change their name, we have plans to change the English name of ‘To Anyone (투애니원)’ to 2NE1″.

“Though they have the same name, the meaning to the names are different. Hence we hope that fans will not misunderstand. Please continue to support the group.”

Meanwhile, 4-member group 21 prepares to debut in May.

  8. I prefer to call them 21 in stead of 2NE1…. 21 is nice and simple (hate it when ppl try to over complicate names).

  9. is it just me or YG really seems indecisive in debuting 2NE1?
    idk..but they seem to delay and delay, change and change
    but i definitely like 2NE1 more than To Anyone..or SISTA. haha
    i’m already a fan of the girls
    i hope their music doesn’t disappoint =)

  10. Uhm, 2NE1 is kind of weird but I’m sure their music will be good. Not that it matters to me because I will always be obsessed with CL.

  12. Whoo, still support our 21 girls all the way~~

    I don’t mind 2NE1. But I’ll probably just stick to 21. <3

  13. People will learn to love and get used to how they write their name. Just like with Big Bang. Eventually 2NE1 will be a household word. XD I actually like it, it does look like a secret code or something like that. XD
