Ha! Don’t know who they are? Unless it’s an agency or something similar (that the initials stand for!) - kind of like JYP. I was thinking that that’s what that was too, for the longest time - until I saw a clip of Miss Tiffany in his studio singing a song solo (or laying down the vocals/tracks), and it was apparent that she had not been there in a little bit... anyway, he was giving her very precise, dialed in suggestions, or directions, on what he’d wanted! ;D if that’s who that is. A dude! ;)
2NE1 means To AnyOne, a girl group comprising of four different talented girls that at their debut their median age was also 21, the N.E. stands for New Evolution
They are fans are known as Blackjack, they are one of the Queens that reigned during the 2nd generation Kpop wave, they are the Queen of Badass that set that trend for the following/upcoming groups, none of that innocent pretty cutesy concept.

During 2nd Gen. There are the Top 4 Agency
1. YG
the artists are/were:
Psy
Se7en
BigBang
2NE1
BlackPink - 3rd Gen

2. JYP
the artists are/were
- Wonder Girls
- 2am
- 2pm
- Miss A
- Twice - younger gens
- Itzy - younger gens

3. SM
- TVXQ (DBSK)
- Super Junior
- Girl's Generation (SNSD)
- F(x)
- Shinee
- Red Velvet
- EXO

4. Cube entertainment
- Beast (now known as Highlight)
- 4minute
- (G)I-DLE
- BTOB
- CLC

a lot has changed since then, the top mentioned groups were the strongest kpop groups duting 2nd Gen that paved the way to Kwave internationaly, which was further reached by 3rd Gen.

if you're referring to Tiffany recording in a studio, i think that was for the show Sister's Slam Dunk, JYP is the guy who owns the studio and composed their song Shut Up, JYP stands gor Park Jin-Young he was also a popular artist back then.

here's the group for that show

Holy bejezzus!!! ;D that’s like a “cliff’s notes,” version - or ultimate ‘cheat-sheet!’ So to speak..;) -& if there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, when it comes to success (& love ❤️!)/ it’s that, “cheating is everything!!!!” Lol 😝 just kidding... seriously though: I could’ve studied & researched for 5 years straight & not come up with something as concise & practical as this! I think I like the (2nd grp.) best - outside of the 3rd w/the G. G. - then again; I’ve never even heard of what that 4th or last group stands for, means or represents (could I have just said, “is?” Yes, perhaps. . . But that would’ve required using fewer words...;) & economy of statement is not— ; ) I’m sure they’re brilliant!! :D

lmao that cheating line reminded me of what my ex said, “only people who denies cheating are the actual cheaters.”

there are many more other talent agencies out there that had one or two groups that left a mark in the kpop world, but those four companies are known as “the big four” (during 2nd Gen Wave)

4th one is Cube entertainment — it had 4minute — one member of that is Hyuna...
Well actually Hyuna debuted as part of Wonder but left due to health reasons, she got better and signed up to a different company and thus 4minute was born...
Everyone is somehow connected like a full circle...
And trust me it was so much information overload for me at the time back then but i just got so interested about how things work in the kpop world and how they are all connected, what information i said isn’t even tip of the iceberg — there’s so much more.

It’s interesting to know their beginnings it’s like that time i found out Britney, Christina, J.T and that guy from The Notebook started as child celebrities— my mind was just blown lmao

I always liked this 2ne1 performance

oh gosh brings back memories, watching the live show and my mouth was left open the entire time... i feel like this was probably MAMA’s peak during 2nd wave...

i have yet to see a performance that will top all the performances of the 2nd gen for MAMA... and then have Lady Gaga have show kills in western awards, and then those year end kpop performances — oh my those were the times... good times...

Also this one

just a little info: MAMA is always held overseas, busy kpop stars are flew in the day/last minute before the event, they only have one time chance to practice their choreography on stage before the actual event takes place hence why you will notice the mistakes and it’s a one shot performance, no retakes, all or nothing. That makes it raw and real and i love it, it’s always EPIC!

Wow! Shoes what I know. . . (Didn’t even know it’s was for a group—song!!;)) thanks 😊! As always-
you know Miss A Bad Girl Good Girl right?
If you watch the Unnies Shut Up performance — the tall funny comedian’s look was inspired to that of Jia of Miss A, her pink hair was iconic for Bad Girl Good Girl
