each time 2ne1 make a schedule for October… my hope for an album is slowly diminishing

Not to sure about this. Besides it being in the middle of October you don’t normally see 2ne1 participate in these kind of “K-pop” events. Especially when they are in the middle of their own concert tour. They also don’t even have 2ne1′s picture in the ad even though they are the biggest act there and supposedly headlining. It just seems weird and honestly I don’t see why 2ne1 would do this with their schedule and the fact they don’t even get much from these types of events. The only thing I can think of as why they would do it is because of the fashion thing but I kind if wish they won’t do this.

  The girls have participated in several events of this nature in Japan, in fact last year they were the headliners to the Tokyo collection fashion concert, this type of event is right up 2NE1′s alley.
  These events are very popular in Japan, and Korea for that matter.

2NE1 doesn’t have any tour concerts schedules for October. They’re having concerts in Japan all throughout September, and will be heading to Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia in November. So October is pretty much reserved for their album release and other little events.

2NE1 usually attends events like these in Japan, not so much in Korea though. It’s a way to expose them to Kpop fans in Japan, since there is more competition in Japan and every little bit of exposure helps gains fans. And we all know 2NE1 isn’t as big in Japan. Also with the even being a fashion concept, I can totally understand why 2NE1 is attending. They’re the epitome of fashion among Kpop idols girl groups.

So yeah, I look forward to what they’ll be wearing! Oh so excited!! ^.^

  Yea 2ne1 attends events in Japan like this except they aren’t “k-pop”
  events they are just events in Japan. K-pop fans in Japan already know
  2ne1 so I don’t see that much exposure gain.
  I guess it could be to give a chance for fans in Okinawa to see them since they
  didn’t have a concert there. It is just I think 2ne1 should stay away
  from falling into hallyu movement and just be the artists 2ne1 but that
  is my personal opinion. Anyways you say 2ne1 is not that big in Japan
  but they are way bigger in Japan than all of the other artists attending
  this event. The funny thing is people say 2ne1 flopped in Japan even
  though they have probably made more money than Kara in Japan with their
  concerts.Yea they only sell 50k-100k on their albums but even that is
  actually higher than most Korean groups. They have a loyal following and
  are known for having good concerts which is where most artists make their money.

    I don’t think they flopped in Japan. If they had flopped they wouldn’t be selling out concerts. I simply said they need more exposure in Japan as they are not as big in Japan as they are in Korea.
