Will.I.Am arrives in Korea to help 2NE1

Will.I.Am, the international music producer and member of popular group The Black Eyed Peas from the United States, arrived in Korea to help 2NE1 with their debut in the States.

Will.I.Am arrived in Korean on February 27 to promote Ultrabook, higher-end type of subnotebook defined by international IT company Intel. He will also help 2NE1 make their American album. He is making music with his experiences and feelings after touring the world.

Will.I.Am has been working with 2NE1 and they have made about 10 songs together. He will meet with the girl group while he stays in Korea.

On February 27, a spokesperson for 2NE1 said, “Will.I.Am will discuss producing 2NE1′s songs with the members. He even prepared a music studio in Korea to work on music. They will also talk about 2NE1′s debut in the United States.”

Will.I.Am and 2NE1 received an explosive response when they met at the MAMA last year. CL and Will.I.Am gave a joint performance and the performance was selected as the best performance by MTV.

2NE1 has appeared on the BBC, popular channel in the United Kingdom, twice and the group has also appeared in the popular American magazine Rolling Stone two times as well. One of their albums was voted “best album” by the music magazine Spin.

The group got a lot of attention from the United States and Europe after they received MTV Iggy’s ‘Best New Band in the World’ award last year. They also recently held a concert in Times Square in New York.

Then the group announced that they are planning to debut in the United States with Will.I.Am’s help. Even though they haven’t promoted themselves, many countries are paying attention to them. As a result, people are expecting the group to show off their power with their debut album in the United States.

Will.I.Am will also meet with his Korean fans. He will hold a party at a club on February 29 in Seoul. He visited Tokyo in last December and Mexico in January to make music. He chose Seoul as the third city and he will visit 9 more cities until the end of this year to make 12 songs. The songs will be released on Intel’s website.
