K-Pop Crossover: 2NE1 Performs At Alexander Wang Event In Shanghai [VIDEO]

As a global icon for K-pop, 2NE1 recently helped American designer Alexander Wang pump up the party at his H&M event in Shanghai, China.

Despite abstaining from year-end award shows, 2NE1 traveled to Shanghai on November 4 as a guest performer for the Alexander Wang X H&M launch event. Here, the four ladies performed some of their biggest hits including "I Am the Best," "Come Back Home" and "Gotta Be You."

"I hope everyone in China enjoys it," said Wang on his new collection. "I have been seeing the advertisements all over town. I'm really excited to bring the event here and I hope everyone has a great time tonight."

Three days after the launch party, Alexander Wang announced on his Instagram that the Alexander Wang X H&M collection was sold out on AlexanderWang.com.

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.

"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.
