The Adventures of a K-Pop Enthusiast
Super Study Saturday— 2NE1

Hey guys!

I’m so proud to present to you a NEW segment here called “Super Study Saturday”!!!

What that means is from now on Saturdays become a day where I will post the profiles of different Korean Pop groups to not only help me with my scrapbook I plan on creating, but also to help those of you out who MAY NOT know the different groups I’m talking about (but honestly, I’ve only talked about f(x), 2NE1, Block B and IU).

Scandalous Saturdays have thus become null and void because I realized what I usually talk about on my Thought Thursdays is usually repeated anyway on Saturdays.

Anywho!

To start of a new beginning with Saturdays, I bring you the profile of the one and only 2NE1 in preparation for their comeback today. (I’m staying up all night just to make sure I don’t miss it :D)
