The official YG Entertainment blog (www.yg-life.com) revealed the upcoming plans for 2NE1 on Monday, announcing that the girls will release their new album, composed of six tracks, starting with Bom's song "PLEASE DON'T GO" on April 21, while stating they will unveil a new track every three weeks and promote all six songs.

The blog went onto reveal that a new season of "2NE1 TV" will air sometime in early June while the girls will hold a concert in late August, their first since making their debut in 2009.

The girls will then expand their singing career into the music market in Japan in September, six months later than the original date due to the earthquake and tsunami that hit several cities and towns in Japan on March 11.

Composed of other members CL, Sandara Park and Minzy, 2NE1 made their debut in May 2009. They have released a score of hit songs including "Fire," "I Don't Care" and "Try to Follow Me."

The quartet made a successful comeback to the music scene in September last year with the release of their first full-length album "To Anyone." They topped a number of online and offline music charts with their title tracks "GO AWAY," "CLAP YOUR HANDS" and "CAN'T NOBODY" which they promoted simultaneously.
