2013.03.12
One Nation Emcees join the string of Malaysian artists
Kuala Lumpur, 11 March 2013 – Twin Towers @Live 2013 set to be held during the weekend of
22 and 23 March 2013 at the base of the iconic PETRONAS Twin Towers, today announced KPop megastars 2NE1 as the newest addition to the concert line up for Saturday, 23 March
2013.
This is the quartet’s very first performance in Malaysia, since their formation in 2009. Made up
of CL, Minzy, Dara and Bom, the group’s name 2NE1 is a combination of the phrases “21st
century” and “new evolution”. The group first surfaced in LG Electronics commercial
campaign, “Lollipop” alongside another K-Pop sensation Big Bang. They subsequently
released their debut single “Fire” that same year.
Since then, the group has released two extended plays, 2NE1 and 2NE1 2nd Mini Album, and
one studio album, To Anyone. 2NE1 are also twice Song of the Year winners at the prestigious
Mnet Asian Music Awards. After bagging the award with their single “I Don’t Care” in 2009,
the quartet was again recipients of the accolade in 2011 with “I Am The Best”.
2NE1 are set to debut in the United States in 2013 and are currently working on their English
debut album with world-renowned producer will.i.am. As of 2013, the band has 400 million
video views on YouTube in addition to having sold 27 million digital singles.
Also a new addition to the showcase of Malaysian artists is One Nation Emcees. Malaysia’s
emerging hip-hop performers have adopted the 1Malaysia concept close to the heart in
their music and performances. Made up of Jojofly, Mimifly and Zydee, the trio’s energetic
personalities have been involved in numerous stage performances and jingles production
locally, in addition to winning Gangstarz Session 2 in 2008. One Nation Emcees are set to
perform on 23 March 2013 alongside Backstreet Boys and 2NE1.
The two-day music extravaganza will feature American pop-sensation Demi Lovato and KPop stars U-Kiss on 22March; while the Backstreet Boys and 2NE1 will take to the stage on 23 March.
Accompanying the International and K-Pop acts are prominent local names Atilia and KTown Clan for the opening day on 22 March and Mizz Nina and Caprice for 23 March.
