OMG I can’t believe it – I have 2NE1‘s autograph! It was a total fluke – I was leaving after their All or Nothing World Tour Singapore concert when my friend asked to go to the souvenir tent to take a look. I decided to buy a CD as a momento, and learnt that some of them came with autographs. It was random so you could not choose. So you can imagine my very pleasant surprise when I saw the scribbles on the CD cover – I couldn’t believe my luck! OMG OMG I love this power girl group, woohoo! Uber estactic :D
From left – Bom, Dara, CL & Minzy I love you even more now!
G-Dragon – Oh fantastic, baby! In the world of Kpop where plastic dollies and flower boys predominate, there are a select few who exude their own cool factor and sing or dance well. One of them has to be G-Dragon, the leader and producer of one of Korea’s hottest groups BIG BANG (sccccream!). And one of the rare few who could make me part money for a top-tier concert ticket.
Making a sleek appearance
The cool dude was trained for showbiz from the age of 13, and has grown to be a key person in the Kpop music scene, writing and producing the bulk of BIG BANG’s hit songs.
Oh so cool – I want his outfit It’s also no wonder whatever he wears is always sold out – instantly. Maybe I should ask him to wear a potato sack and see what happens.
One of a Kind is G-Dragon’s second solo concert tour and first worldwide tour. The tour consists of 26 show in 8 countries and 13 cities, kicking off on 30 March 2013 at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, South Korea.

He can take it slow too with a ballad
Giant butterflies!
After a number of Kpop concerts, I have realised Koreans like to sing sitting down, lying down…and the fans scream when they get down.
I think he’s one of the few dudes who can actually pull off a floppy hat
Oh so cuuute…drool
Check out his dragon mic stand!
This dude is clearly born for the stage, looking so at home and wowing the audience with his effortless gait.
2NE1 was the guest performers for his Singapore leg – my fave girl group! woohoo!
The girls certainly look like they are having fun :)
Like that also can sing!
Dara looks so cute! I am eyeing her Balenciaga booties…
Oh my gawd! Their signature pose
First time I see a sports jersey – in mink
With a charming arrogance like this, you can only like him or hate him like mad, heh
Oh the slick dance moves…
Swoon…
Yet another outfit
Yeah man, we definitely know who’s the boss!
G-Dragon – you’re definitely One of a Kind! I can’t wait to see you again! 친차대박!

I was pretty excited to catch my favourite Kpop group 2NE1 in concert earlier this month – these girls can sing, dance and they’ve got style. Made up of four members CL, DARA, BOM and MINZY, 2NE1 debuted onto the Kpop music scene in 2009 with their hit single “Fire”. Their songs reflect the members’ independence and confidence as women, with songs like “I Don’t Care” and “Go Away”. Their cutting-edge music and unique fashion style led to collaborations with artists such will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas to fashion designer Jeremy Scott who designed their costumes for their first global tour.

CL heating the concert venue up. This girl sure knows how to party!
Bom in a butterfly-inspired outfit. Honestly I thought this was a bit too much; it engulfed the petite lass.

If cheerleaders look as good as this, I am going to start attending basketball matches.
Minzy living it up
Whee, I’m flying!
Oh cute…pecs & six-pack!
CL looking coy. I wanted to get a similar top from Adidas by Jeremy Scott – it cost S$600. Glurp.
Youngest member Minzy’s all grown-up now…
Great to see the girls having fun themselves
What’s up, uh huh uh huh…
I salute the dancers who had to perform inside the giant plastic balls. I went inside one once and felt so claustrophobic and suffocated!
When you have shoes with wings, you will think you can fly…
I’m sure this lucky fan will be reminiscing this moment in his dreams again, and again, and again…
Sassy Dara
Choir girls
CL is so full of expression, really had fun photographing her

Dara is so stick-thin, the poor dancer on the right looks like a tree stump
A rather odd segment…
2NE1 New Evolution Global Tour
I kinda like Dara’s hairy dress…
Bom going blue furry…
Girls gone wild
Nothing sexy like a couch with a pole
CL’s flamingo stance works for me. Check out her knuckle rings! Want.
Nose bleed.

Bom looking sweet
I wanna play on the inflatable slide too!

I notice Kpop singers all like to lie down and sing…maybe they look more sexy this way…
And then comes the squats

Thanking the fans It was pretty cool to finally see my fave Kpop group ‘live’, but I was a bit disappointed with the stage set-up which was much smaller and less impressive than their fellow YG boy band Big Bang whom I caught earlier this year. The sound system left much to be desired as well. Costume-wise, I would have preferred a more balanced mix of classy and sporty outfits. At times, it looked more like a wacky Adidas fashion show. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed seeing the girls perform.
