K-Music Time Capsule: 2NE1 – I AM THE BEST

2NE1 is one of the most iconic girl groups of the history of K-Pop. They will remain as legends who were not afraid to break stereotypes and be themselves, and for today’s K-Music Time Capsule we will be talking about the anthem that cannot be missed in any K-pop party: ‘I Am The Best’.

This song, an anthem of self-love and a diss to the haters, and the music video was set up to be intimidating, badass and legendary. In the lyrics I refuse to be compared, I’m telling you the truth, If we’re talking about my value, I’m a Billion dollar baby”, 2NE1 just stated what we already knew. They are legendary Queens that will never be forgotten. 

Even though this YG girl group disbanded in 2016 the members Park Bom, Dara, Minzy and CL are still good friends and there is nothing more wholesome than seeing them support each other’s solo careers and other artistic ventures. 

Please keep an eye on their solo releases, they are extremely talented. And remember their lyrics when you are feeling down or in a blues: “내가 제일 잘 나가 (naega jeil jal naga)”. You are the best!
