The ladies of 2NE1 have become the first Korean artists to grace the cover of popular Japanese fashion magazine, 'WWD Japan'! 2NE1 were chosen as cover models for the magazine's winter issue, which allowed them to  join the ranks of many other famous women in Japan who previously graced the cover such as professional skater Asada Mao and actress Miyazawa Rie. For their pictorial, 2NE1 wore French brand Balmain, which gave them an elegant gloss to their fierce charisma. Reportedly, the members' outfits had cost around 25 million yen (approximately 322,872 USD). In related news, 2NE1 will join fellow YG Entertainment artists and perform at the 'YG Family Concert in Japan' on January 7th and 8th at the Kyocera Dome, and on January 21st and 22nd at the Saitama Super Arena.
