MTV Iggy's Best New Band Concert

THIS IS 2NE1’s recent performance in MTV Iggy’s Best New Band Concert!!

I can't believe they would actually stream the ENTIRE best new band concert for us fans unable to watch the show! That is really kind and thoughtful!

Well it's actually live, but we only managed the catch the concert later. But still, if you missed it, you can catch it here! AGAIN!

#bestnewband

I'm watching this and what I really like is not only seeing 2ne1 perform, but they can hold the interview in English. Usually I cringe and go all nooooo wheneve translators are needed and awkward moments are a common occurence but CL takes the stage pretty well with short and direct answers to the interview! :)

However, you gotta catch the rest of the best new bands too!

Big Bang wins Worldwide act at the EMAs.

We did an article here on how Big Bang was one of the nominees for the Worldwide Act. Well well, look what has happened.

CONGRATULATIONS BIG BANG ON WINNING THE WORLD WIDE ACT AT THE EMAs!!!!

This is so amazing! For a kpop act to win over big names like Britney it is serious, woah, hello to world domination! All you VIPs are awesome or whuttttt?

P/s: What is up with lumping India, Middle East and Africa together for the nominees?!?! Do they even listen to the same music?!

MTV Iggy

MTV has launched a new global music brand called MTV IGGY!

I guess you all probably know that thanks to the infamous Yoona and Taeyeon criticized for being bored at their interview?. But you know, we aren't here to talk about that being the SNSD stans that we are, they were probably tired or something. Haha.

But anyway, why is this so special and why are we telling you about this here at Super-Kpop?

Because this proves that people are taking note of Kpop! Cheer for the hallyu wave!

Ok, MTV Iggy is not entirely about Kpop, it aims to connect U.S. audiences with global music culture which includes Kpop! :D So you can check out MTV Iggy if you want to experience more international music culture. However, most artistes they promotes seem to not be mainstream artistes. (I've looked at the Japanese and Taiwanese artistes and I am like NUGU??) So yeah, they tend to be more unique and MTV Iggy is a good way to discover these un-mainstream acts!

For Kpop however, they promote artistes like BoA, 2NE1 and Se7en just to name a few (mainstream!). Kpop artistes breaking into the USA will be featured on the shows I guess so do watch out for that. They feature stuff like interviews and photos, reviews and scenes!

We just think it is cool you know, that Kpop is no longer limited only on the Asian branch of MTV like MTV China and MTV SEA and is getting exposed to the US and a larger range of audiences all over the world now. So do check it out!

P/s: Discovered new Kpop act while surfing MTV Iggy. IDIOTAPE. Well their music ain't really my thing, but yay to know more about different Korean acts!
