"I Am The Best," which is arguably 2NE1's
most popular song thus far (at least in terms of YouTube view count and
people's widespread knowledge of it), has popped up once again in the
western hemisphere, this time for a choreography video orchestrated by Janelle Ginestra.
It was used for a short video featuring talented young dancers Larsen Thompson and Taylor Hatala showcasing
powerful moves choreographed by Janelle Ginestra. "I'm the Best" plays
in the background for a short 40-something seconds, to which the dancers
execute swift, almost knife-like sharp choreography.
The
costumes the girls are wearing during the part of 2NE1's song (starting
at 1:30 in video above) seems to be distinctly 'Asian' but not 'Korean'
including buns decorated with chopsticks, a Hanfu-inspired crop top,
and simple black skirt and sandals. The makeup also derives some
inspiration from the traditional Japanese style of cosmetics.
The usage of the song clearly denotes 2NE1's international popularity; if one recalls, the song was also used in the past year for Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 commercial.
