K-Pop Crossover: 2NE1 Spotted During 'America's Next Top Model' Preview [VIDEO]

As 2NE1 continue to "Take the World On," the K-pop girl group will be gracing American television once again, this time on "America's Next Top Model."

Earlier this year, it was reported that 2NE1 would appear on the current cycle of "America's Next Top Model" during the season finale. As the series travels to South Korea, a recent episode teased the band's appearance.

"A very short part of 2NE1's performance on 'America's Next Top Model' was already shown in this week's episode of the show," tweeted YG United. "I believe I saw CL."

But this is not the first time 2NE1 has appeared on American television.

In January, 2NE1 made guest appearances on "The Bachelor" featuring Juan Pablo Galavis.

"2NE1 coached the guests how to dance 'I Am the Best' and one of them extolled their song and choreography, saying it attracted 77 million views on YouTube. Another mentioned 2NE1's the most popular K-Pop group in Korea," said YG-Life.

"After their appearance on 'The Bachelor' on January 28, the song ranked #3 on the America's Electronic singles chart on iTunes and #1 in Canada."

On October 20, Billboard reported that radio stations in New York and Boston have begun playing "I Am the Best" after the track received global attention by being used in a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablet laptop commercial.

In the week ending October 19, the anthemic 2NE1 single was reportedly 24 times on WBMP New York and 14 times on WODS Boston. In addition, "I Am the Best" recently topped Billboard's World Digital Songs chart and reached 100 million views on YouTube.

In the Spring of next year, 2NE1's leader CL is expected to release a single in America under the guidance of Scooter Braun.

Known for managing Justin Bieber, Psy, Ariana Grande and Carly Rae Jepsen, Braun recently teased their new partnership by mentioning CL on Twitter.
