2NE1's To Anyone Album: A Look Inside!

I received a few emails awhile back asking me if I could do posts on the k-pop albums I buy, and of course, I am more than happy to oblige! I hope these posts will encourage you to get a copy of their album as a sign of support for the artist.

For those who don't know, the Korean music industry puts a lot of effort into creating their albums--especially for the packaging! I don't have any Korean album that isn't elaborate and makes me go "wooooow so worth it!" just on the packaging alone.

So, without further ado, here's 2NE1's To Anyone album:

For Filipinos, 2NE1 is the girl group which Sandara Park is a part of.
2NE1 was the first Korean girl group I ever liked (first k-pop artists I liked? HAS TO BE RAAAAIN!), which is why I make it a point to always buy their albums. On to the contents!

Doesn't that CD design make you go ooooh and aaaaah?

A close-up of that CD: 

There's a YG Family Card included inside (got Dara):

And the photobook together with the album (I only took a few shots of what's inside, there are MORE photos inside):

 Fierrrrce!

 Minzy looking extra tough

 CL-roo looking stylish as always--look at those shoes!

 Very cute idea of YG in having the girls write the lyrics to their songs in their own handwriting!

 That jacket on Dara is love!

 Bommie-unnie with her red locks

End of the photobook! Those lightning bolt tops are sooo cute!

My album also came with 2 posters that you could get for an additional 1,000won.

Music-wise, I have to admit I enjoyed listening to their first mini-album more. I found that most songs had a lot of auto-tuning done, not necessarily a turn off for me, but it was definitely different than their usual sound. It seems like the theme of the songs were also an extension from their first mini-album. But I liked the fact that they added the solo singles they released prior to this album.
