YG Entertainment has just notified allkpop of some changes in upcoming plans. Unfortunately 2NE1's upcoming single, which was scheduled to be released on July 28th originally, has been canceled. However! The girls will be returning in October with a new album instead.

According to original plans, 2NE1 had intended to release their second single three weeks after the release of "I Love You" back on July 5th. However, as their 'New Evolution' tour will kick off in Seoul at the end of this week, followed with performances overseas in August and September, it was decided that the double promotions with the tour and music program performances in Korea may take too much of a toll on the girls. Thus, after an emergency meeting, YG Entertainment has announced that they will be scrapping the plans for the new single coming up, and will instead be focusing on a new album release in October.

Although they are aware that some fans may be disappointed with the sudden announcement, they stated that this decision had to be made in order for the girls to focus more on their first world tour and give the producers in the agency more time to produce a higher quality album.
