Following the K-Pop's domination in July and August's KCON 2015 where Girls Generation, Super Junior, AOA, Sistar, and other "hallyu" idols set the stage on fire and went face-to-face with their fans, more K-Pop groups are scheduled to visit the United States, including YG Entertainment's top earners Big Bang and 2NE1.
2NE1's leader CL came ahead of her group with her solo debut in the U.S.
She just dropped the badass upbeat rap "Doctor Pepper" featuring Diplo, Riff Raff, and OG Maco, which is just a primer for her US debut. CL raps fluently in English despite being a Korean star.
On Aug. 3, CL's friend claimed that CL has been crossing Korea and US to meet with artists and music experts from Hollywood, All Kpop reported.
The news was confirmed by CL's agency YG Entertainment, which stated, "This month, CL will be filming two MVs. Her exact debut time has not been decided on yet."
The agency also confirmed that 2NE1 will release an album following CL solo activities. The comeback is certain in Korea. If CL becomes a hit in the US, she may come back immediately with her group.
Meanwhile, Big Bang which just released four chart-topping singles from July to August for "MADE Series", is set for "Big Bang 2015 World Tour MADE in USA" this fall, Billboard reported.
The group will be performing tracks from their latest album including "Bang, Bang, Bang" and "If You" which sat on the Korean and U.S. charts for weeks.
"We Like to Party" and "Bang Bang Bang" occupied the top two spots on Billboard's World Digital Songs in July.
Six arena dates have been announced for the concert tour on Oct. 2 to 13 which will cover New Jersey, California, and Las Vegas.
