Mysteriously quiet for the bulk of 2012, YG Entertainment’s 2NE1 are one of a thimbleful of Korean groups to have performed in the U.S. The group hopes to reclaim home territory in 2013, with a comeback on the way and a solo album for its multilingual, bona fide superstar leader, CL.

The other four acts are, Rania, EXO, IU, and A-Pink.
