Korean idols 2NE1 will officially kick off their singing career in Japan with their debut single "GO AWAY" this spring.

The official website for the girls' Japanese management agency AVEX showed that the girls will soon release their debut single album "GO AWAY" which will include the Japanese version of "GO AWAY" as well as the English version of the song "CAN'T NOBODY."

"GO AWAY" will be unveiled as a ringtone on Japan's mobile website Recochoku on March 9. They had already revealed "CAN"T NOBODY" as a ringtone and various versions of the song in mid-January.

They will also release an album on March 16 which will feature ten of their hit songs such as "FIRE," "I DON'T CARE" and "IN THE CLUB" as well as a DVD with the music videos for "FIRE" and "I DON'T CARE."

Composed of members CL, Bom, Sandra and Minji, the girls have been one of the most successful groups in the country since their debut in May 2009.

They had enjoyed a successful return to the local music scene with their first full-length album "To Anyone" in September of last year, topping numerous music charts with title tracks "GO AWAY," "CLAP YOUR HANDS" and "CAN'T NOBODY" which they promoted simultaneously.

The girls are also preparing for their official debut into the pop market in the United States.
