2NE1 really “don’t care!”

2ne1_090708

Seriously. Check out the mug shots!

Without the dark makeup and flashy clothes, the girls of 2NE1 are your everyday plain janes. Really. If you saw them on the street, you definitely wouldn’t give them a second thought. In fact, the girls look the girls working the counters at Mc D’s. Nothing special.

So what’s the big deal? These makeup-less faces of girls were supposedly “leaked” to the public. And YG Entertainment is looking into how the pictures were released.

Now 2NE1’s newest single, “I don’t care” has already hit #1 on the online charts.  How appropriate.

    They look fine. I think it’s cool seeing them without makeup. It makes them seem more “real”. CL is great just for her attitude alone.

      Agree. I think by critizing “famous” people for not looking less than amazing you’re setting the standard higher for yourself (so you better look like a model or God’s gift to man). It kind of makes everyone more shallow, which I think is a problem now. They look fine, just obviously not at their best. Although CL looks a bit different to me (but if you looked at her in 2NE1TV clsoely she looks the same, just with more eye makeup).

      The bad lighting, messy hair, tired eyes, and the fact that they aren’t posing might have something to do with how crappy the pics look. They trully look like mugshots.

    This is old news!

  3. 4 Akamekraze July 8, 2009 at 7:01 am

    Park Bom still looks ok….I guess..

    But these girls have talent! Image is not the only thing that matters for artists! =) I ♥ their songs! Let them be Popseoul!

  4. 6 kinella July 8, 2009 at 7:04 am

    lol…i bet most of us have even worse pics in our passports! come on, those are just very crappy pics
    those the girls have never used their ‘beauty’ to sell music but their personality and the fact that they are different from the other girlgroups

    BTW, i prefer Bom and Minzy without make up

  5. 7 bdean2 July 8, 2009 at 7:12 am

    Don’t know who these girls are, but the two on the left look alright even for a “bad hair day”/no make-up.

    Anyway, it’s really no big surprise that celebs look better after some primping by professional make-up artists, not to mention proper lighting, etc.

    A lot of the Hollywood stars look remarkedly average in real life.

  6. 8 iowes July 8, 2009 at 7:22 am

    They look so bad cause their usual makeup is so over the top! Doesn’t change the way I think about them though!

  7. 9 li1destiny July 8, 2009 at 7:35 am

    i did not recognize CL at all. She look so different and um . . .

  8. 10 July 8, 2009 at 7:39 am

    Um… So I recognize two.. But who is on the top right? CL?

  9. 11 gigi July 8, 2009 at 7:40 am

    they look like normal people!!! although they look really tired! i’m sure most people look like that or worse when they’re tired and have no makeup.

  10. 12 Kaitou July 8, 2009 at 8:23 am

    And I thought I was bad w/o makeup.

  11. 13 phamous July 8, 2009 at 8:24 am

    these are bad pictures.. I was kinda shocked when i saw CL.. didn’t recognize her but I like it.. such things wouldnt happen to other girlgroups.. do I need names? hahaha the pictures dont look like regular pictures or hidden cameras.. the girls knew it.. but still show their real less beautiful faces.. thumbs up!!
    it also proves what make up can do.. so guys.. dont take a girl home, just because she looks good on the dancefloor.. that doesnt mean she is all that beautiful.. you might get disappointed the very next morning!! ^^ hahah

  12. 14 hannahlove July 8, 2009 at 8:36 am

    its comforting to know that this is what they reallllllly look like.
    anyways, they have talent so whatever

  13. 15 July 8, 2009 at 9:01 am

    It’s nice to see celebs with out all the glamor.. I think it makes them more relatable :) I hope the girls handle this well and show everyone they are comfortable in their own beautiful skin!

  14. 16 aympreetee July 8, 2009 at 9:02 am

    only two girls look pretty…the two on the right are ugly.

  15. 17 mashidesu July 8, 2009 at 9:03 am

    and I DON’T CARE either about how they look. Old news whoever posted this is like 1000 years late.

  16. 18 Rarw July 8, 2009 at 9:12 am

    first this popseoul is slow as always… second theyre just human… no one is perfect.. i like their music still

  17. 19 asiangirl July 8, 2009 at 9:16 am

    i like their makeup less look.
    minzy especually look her age without all the makeup.
    but i loe them anyways :)

  18. 20 .LING July 8, 2009 at 9:25 am

    2NE1 ftw ♥♥♥

  19. 21 Brian July 8, 2009 at 9:54 am

    i wish i didnt see those pics. kinda destroys the wonder

  20. 22 Sokai July 8, 2009 at 9:57 am

    Park Bom just looks a bit tired.
    Dara still looks normal, in my opinion.
    I actually think Minzy looks cuter. :D
    CL…
    o___o;

  21. 23 angelas July 8, 2009 at 9:58 am

    sandara and park bom are pretty without makeup though.

  22. 24 gravity01 July 8, 2009 at 10:11 am

    i don’t care! i still love them!

    if i wanted to see beautiful women/girls, then i would have just watched the MISS UNIVERSE pageant!

    i love them for their talents and for what they bring to the table! they are all awesome!

    each of them is UNIQUE!

    ♥PinaySinceBirth♥

  23. 25 princesscharrie July 8, 2009 at 10:19 am

    dara looks the same…
    bom looks tired but still pretty…
    minzy is still cute…
    cl looks plain but i still love her bcoz of her attitude…

  24. 26 joelib July 8, 2009 at 10:23 am

    obviously they tried to mak it look like they dont give a sht..they made it look like that on purpose..lol at bom

    • 27 cubana4life July 8, 2009 at 10:43 am

      haha! i dont know if you’re trying to be optimisstic LMFAO! but i found you’re comment to be kinda-sorta true!

    • 28 Oliver Cromwell July 8, 2009 at 11:16 am

      No. There would be absolutely no reason for them to have spent all this time promoting themselves in full make-up if they planned on revealing how they looked with no make-up in the end.

  25. 29 S T A R R ** July 8, 2009 at 10:35 am

    well it’s OK . no makeup shows the true virtue of ones beauty. ERRRRR :>
    DARA still look the same.
    and I Lalalalove♥ her.
    :)

  26. 30 cubana4life July 8, 2009 at 10:41 am

    @ kpop88: thank you!

    woah! i really do not believe that is CL, everyone else looks like themselves…but there is noo way that is CL!

  27. 31 blahh July 8, 2009 at 10:44 am

    haha they aren’t just plain. THEY ARE UGLY! They need plastic surgery. jk.

    • 32 cubana4life July 8, 2009 at 10:47 am

      ahahaha! plastic surgery is not the answer! LMFAO!…this is probably the worst comment to write on here…someone is bound to get angry and reply with some nasty remark…lol

      ~that would be funny, too!~

  28. 33 miina July 8, 2009 at 10:54 am

    Park Bom is pretty w/o makeup, she looks adorable yet tired. Dara looks ok. makeup can be really work miracles sometimes…

  29. 34 xjk July 8, 2009 at 10:59 am

    i’d like to see your gorgeous face.

  30. 35 icey July 8, 2009 at 11:00 am

    i just want to know why they would even let anyone take their pictures in this state. They’re not even smiling and if looks could kill…

    Who cares about looks though because talent and hard work isn’t skin deep.

  31. 36 Oliver Cromwell July 8, 2009 at 11:17 am

    This really goes to show how much of a difference impeccable make-up makes. All you guys out there should thank your ladies for all the effort they in to look good for you.

  32. 37 juliet July 8, 2009 at 11:35 am

    Dara’s still beautiful sans make-up. Lucky girl!

  33. 38 Woah.. July 8, 2009 at 11:47 am

    I thought this was some gag act! CL, to be thruthful, looks like a ..man. When i saw the pictures I was like, “woah. They found people that actually really look like the members. But still a gag.”

    Ehh, whatever. With all the pressure to be “beautiful” you don’t really get to choose if you want to wear makeup or not in thevmusic industry.

  34. 39 hehe July 8, 2009 at 12:08 pm

    the 2 girls on the left actually look ok without make-up though. the one at the bottom right looks not much different from when she has her make-up on. only the upper one looks seriously……………not attractive :P no offence to 2NE1’s fans

  35. 40 yume July 8, 2009 at 12:22 pm

    This just goes to show that makeup does wonders. Park Bom actually looks pretty cute without her makeup. In fact, I kind of think she looks better. I like the natural look. She just needs to tidy up her hair a little bit.

  36. 41 feroxy July 8, 2009 at 12:33 pm

    hahahahha!

    I can’t help rollin’ on the floor with laughter!

    I can imagine ‘em singin’:

    “We don’t care if we’re lookin’ hags!
    We don’t care if we’re like househelps!
    We don’t care if we’re like vendors!
    We don’t care ‘coz we still kick asses!

    We don’t ca-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-are!
    We don’t ca-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-are!”

    Anyway, who cares if they look like hags! That ain’t painful enough, if you compare ‘em to the hollywood celebrities who really looked ridiculously scary and dirty with no make-up, super-plain-janey, obvious wrikles, and so much flaws on their faces.

    Another thing, at least they are not your “another generic plastic-doll-lookin’-girliez”

  37. 42 PickFour July 8, 2009 at 12:37 pm

    Oh, be nice, they don’t look THAT much like mug shots. Sure, the public eye does view them as prettier with makeup on, but no one wakes up looking perfect. Besides, if celebrities woke up “picture perfect” that would defeat the whole purpose of having make up artists, style coordinators, etc. Respect them for working as hard as they do.

  38. 43 LOL July 8, 2009 at 1:26 pm

    the girl on the
    top right kinda
    looks like
    KIM JONG KOOK..
    an ugly version
    of KIM JONG KOOK!
    she looks like a MAN..
    LOL…but the
    two on the left
    is okayy..
    the girl on the
    bottom left looks
    really weird..
    mean/grumpy??
    NO OFFENSE.

  39. 44 lalala July 8, 2009 at 1:43 pm

    bom looks exsactly the same, except her eyes have a tired expression
    dara doesnt look that bad either
    minzy looks her actual age HAhahaha 15 wow
    and CL, everyone has their bad days
    2ne1! :)

  41. 48 yui July 8, 2009 at 2:20 pm

    well Dara looks pretty normal. she’s the prettiest without makeup actually. i think Dara Bom and Minzy look just fine and okay without the makeup.
    CL just needs the makeup doode.

  42. 49 DBSJSHINee July 8, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    I recognize Bom and Minzy. I can guess which is Dara. But I seriously can’t believe that girl on the top right is CL. But who cares? SHe looks great now.

  43. 50 Lovingit. July 8, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    CLLLLLL WHAT HAPPENED?? OH MY. Still love you!!!

  44. 51 jh155 July 8, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    Hey beautifuls

    The writer of this article is nothing special
    where’s your personality?
    be careful
    you might just get fired from your writing post

  45. 52 Dovey July 8, 2009 at 2:59 pm

    This shouldn’t even be a big deal. It’s just your average gals who aren’t wearing make-up, geeze. XD

  46. 53 `KyLaa<3 July 8, 2009 at 3:28 pm

    Kind of old news o-o’
    But pssh, so?
    Its make-up
    9/10 people look uglier than that with no make-up
    its not like its plastic surgeory. at least you can just wash it off

    They weren’t ‘leaked’ they were leaked (see the difference?)
    and YG’s taking very strong actions against who leaked them ==;

    Anyways, Popseoul, you dont have to make such a big deal out of it. Its just people without make-up.

  47. 54 cookie July 8, 2009 at 5:50 pm

    awww…this is the interesting part now..it’s good to know that behind the make up and fancy clothes they are still them..at least at the end of the day even if they wash off their make up they don’t wash off their talent and unique attitude..this is no biggie..popseoul should be thankful to them because bad or good news,now many ppl view ur site coz of 2ne1..

  48. 55 JKPopper July 8, 2009 at 7:29 pm

    personally….i think this is Photoshop(ped).
    I mean, if they were to take pictures like this, why pose for it with a plain background like in Photoshoots?
    oh well…
    true or not, it’s their music that makes them sell even more than the looks…

  49. 56 natureandmusic July 8, 2009 at 7:42 pm

    it’ nice that they don’t care because almost everyone look like that without their make-ups

  50. 57 Chiastine July 8, 2009 at 8:35 pm

    even if sandara don’t have make up she’s still pretty :D
