Yang Hyun Suk wrote, "Is it because we made our fans wait so many years? For some reason just saying 2NE1 brings about a heart-fluttering sensation. 6-year veteran 2NE1 is releasing a new full length album that's full of new songs. The 1st full length album included previously released singles and a few new songs, but this album is filled with all new songs, and is the first time ever since the group's debut 6 years ago."

2NE1's 2nd full length album is titled Crush, and includes a total of 10 songs. Yang Hyun Suk explained that all the songs are considered title songs, that each one of the songs were carefully selected and prepared for the album.

Offline album sales will begin in the following week. 2NE1 revealed that their music video had an enormous investment go into it. The title song music video teaser will be released on the 24th, and the final video will be released on the 28th.

One thing to note of the 10 songs is that CL will be emerging as a singer songwriter, as she self-composed and self-wrote 3 of the songs.

Yang Hyun Suk shared, "It is all of your responsibilities to evaluate the music, but if I were to express how I felt when I first heard CL's songs, it was that it is 'amazing'. I've been with CL for 8 years now, and I never imagined that she would write songs. I felt like it was unbelievably good, to the point where I couldn't believe that it was CL's first time writing a song."

He also revealed that 2NE1 will continuing another year of album activities. "As much as the album preparation time was long, 2NE1 has many other songs prepared besides the songs included in the 2nd album. The members' solo songs that were supposed to be included in this album have been saved for the next album. There won't be a problem releasing 2NE1's new album and CL's solo album."

Yang Hyun Suk also said, "I think 2014 will be a very important year for YG, more than ever. It'll be a year in which YG debuts 4 new groups. I myself don't consider this to be an ordinary task, and it is definitely a challenge, like a gamble. I really want to make sure that I reach my goal. The best way to work hard to produce great music."

2NE1 will be holding their 2nd world tour 'AON (All Or Nothing)' Tour from March 1st to the 2nd at the Olympic Park SK Handball Stadium in Seoul.
