2NE1 fascinated everyone as the representative Korean artists at the France Cannes International Festival of Creativity.
On the 18th, 2NE1 held a seminar inside the Claude Debussy Theatre in Cannes, France with Cheil Industries at the “2012 Cannes Advertising Festival."
This seminar by 2NE1 was titled “Korean Wave Through Digital Wave."
Last December, 2NE1 was titled the “Best New Band in the World" by MTV Iggy, and was decided as the “K-Pop Star You Like the Most" through a survey in France. It seems that the love they received despite lack of promotions is what got them invited to the Cannes festival.
When asked if as a K-Pop star if she could feel the worldwide popularity, CL commented “I was surprised by the fans worldwide who made cover videos of them singing our songs in Korean on Youtube," and “The digital environment that Youtube brought is what got rid of the border [between countries] in our music."
CL was asked what the secret was on how 2NE1 receives so much love, and she stated “The passion, energy, and love Koreans have for music are all inside 2NE1’s music videos, performances, and music, so I think fans worldwide are appreciating this and loving us."
CL gave the example of “2NE1 TV" for how 2NE1 communicates with fans in the digital world. 2NE1 TV shows a more personal side to 2NE1, which is very different from their extravagant performances.
CL ended the speech by saying “2NE1 still has a lot to show you" and “we are going to change the world now."
