It did not come as a shock to many when 2NE1's latest single "Falling In Love" shot to the top of the charts after its release on July 8. The wildly popular girl group had not released a new single in a year and fans were eagerly waiting for it to drop.
It also was not a big surprise when their label, YG Entertainment decided to hold the comeback stage on Inkigayo the day before the track officially dropped - they always seem to be testing out new promotion ideas (such as with the initial release of G-Dragon's "MichiGO").
But what did catch many off guard was the announcement Thursday morning that 2NE1 will be appearing on MBC's Music Core this weekend on the July 13 episode.

It has been nearly two years since the girl group appeared on the program and their return to the stage will follow a Thursday appearance on Mnet's M! Countdown.
For the past two years YG Entertainment artists have refrained from participating in many music and variety shows following reported disagreements with the major networks KBS and MBC. Although, today's announcement appears to signify that the conflict with MBC has since been resolved.
2NE1 came out with "Falling In Love" earlier this week and have announced plans to release several more singles from now until October in preparation for their new album later this year.
