In relation to what Melissa posted and the video blogger mentioned, 2NE1 was mentioned as powerful girl group and should be known as the leaders of female empowerment and progress in South Korea. Their messages are clear and strong. Compare them and their lyrics about not caring after their hearts have been torn to older girl groups singing about breaking up and crying their eyes out.

Makes sense that Will.i.am took notice of them. Watch out for their American debut!
