CL, Park Bom, Sandara Park, Gong Minji. Back-to-back Music Banks, and you better believe that you do care. YG's fearsome female foursome, 2NE1, emerged victorious for the second consecutive time on Music Bank for hit single I Don't Care, staving off the challenge from SNSD and Lee Seung Gi. Ah... eff it, I have to mention the girl group battle; it's magnitude is too epic to simply cast away.
12578 - 12571? Seven points? That is jaw-droppingly epic. Sometimes we have to take off our fan-tinted glasses and just admire what both groups have done from an Outsider's perspective. Point totals this high would normally be enough to win any week, but both of these groups are so wildly successful that only one of them could win. Congrats to 2NE1 on their back-to-back victories, adding to a trophy haul which will surely grow in number for this wildly impressive rookie group.

Notice the deep-angled bowing frenzy that occurs as soon as 2NE1's victory was announced. Contrived congeniality or not, it's clear that these two girl groups, at the very least, respect each other. Leader CL thanks G-Dragon, Teddy (composer of "I Don't Care"), and the entire YG family, amongst others, before the group launches into their encore, basking in the light of victory. I couldn't help but notice this though:
Dara is the only member without flowers, while Minji has two bouquets! Sharing is caring, maknae Minji. Anywho, the girls put on another tight performance of "I Don't Care" in brand new outfits. I love that their concept essentially allows them complete freedom on what to wear for each appearance, as the fresh outfits are, well, refreshing.
