Since then, the group has released two extended plays, 2NE1 and 2NE1 2nd Mini Album, and one studio album, To Anyone. 2NE1 are also twice Song of the Year winners at the prestigious Mnet Asian Music Awards. After bagging the award with their single “I Don’t Care” in 2009, the quartet was again recipients of the accolade in 2011 with “I Am The Best”.
