Minzy and I followed behind Chaerin and Bom as we entered the studio. “Anneyonghaseyo! What’s up we’re 2NE1!” We greeted our sunbae-nims.

We had been invited to a sneak preview of BIGBANG’s special edition album, Still Alive. Seunghyun seemed very happy with the result of his work every time I asked him about it at home.

“Welcome ladies!” Teddy and Choice greeted us as they ushered the four of us to sit down.

“Exactly that! You should watch it to see for yourselves!” My jagiya said winking at me.

“Dae, I expect you to be supporting yourselves. We are YG family after all!” Announced Sajangnim as he walked into the studio.

We all got up in unison to bow as we greeted him. “Anneyonghase
