Korean idol group 2NE1’s “GO AWAY” has been selected as the new theme song for a Japanese news program.
According to the notice board of 2NE1’s official Japanese website, Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi News” has decided to use 2NE1’s Japanese debut song “GO AWAY,” as its theme song for the program starting today.
This is the second time for a song by a Korean artist to be chosen as the theme song for "Mezamashi" -- the first was “HANDS UP,” by boy band Big Bang of the same agency YG Entertainment as 2NE1, for six months starting April of last year.
Meanwhile, 2NE1 was set to make their official music debut in Japan with their debut single "GO AWAY" earlier this month but have delayed their plans following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that has left at least 21,000 people dead or missing and thousands homeless.
