2NE1 To Perform At Alexander Wang Event Despite Earlier Reports

Despite abstaining from year-end award show performances, it appears the year is not quite over for the ladies of 2NE1.

With CL's solo venture and Park Bom's need for "reflection," many 2NE1 fans believed the group's activities were finished for the year. However, a recent Vogue article reported that the group would appear at an Alexander Wang event in Shanghai.

"To celebrate the launch of the designer's collaboration in China, H&M is holding this mysterious party," said translations according to YG Ladies. "In addition, we have performances from one of Korea's hottest groups, 2NE1. Are you guys ready for the Alexander Wang X H&M event?"

With the event set for November 4, 2NE1 fans are pleasantly surprised at this announcement, given that record label YG Entertainment hinted that the group would not have additional activities for the rest of the year.

"Though they've received a number of offers for music award ceremonies, we respectfully declined," said a YG rep according to allkpop. "Park Bom is still reflecting, so we ask for your understanding."

"2NE1 cannot put on a show without Park Bom. However, besides that, Park Bom is not participating in any other domestic schedules. She is currently taking time to self-reflect. Please support them until they make their comeback. They will make a good album and come back as 2NE1."

Meanwhile, 2NE1's leader CL is presumably preparing for her solo debut in the US next Spring.

"I'm very happy about advancing into America and think I'm going to work a lot with Diplo," said CL at the 2014 Style Icon Awards accompanied by the American DJ/producer. "Diplo is so cool and good-looking."

CL will also be working with talent manager Scooter Braun for her US venture. Known for managing Justin Bieber, Psy, Ariana Grande and Carly Rae Jepsen, Braun recently welcomed the K-pop star on Instagram.
