2NE1 (also known as 2NE1 1st Mini Album) is the debut extended play (EP) by South Korean girl group 2NE1. YG Entertainment released the seven-track record via digital and physical formats on July 8, 2009. Composed and produced by South Korean producers Teddy Park and Kush, the EP showcases a blend of pop, dance, R&B, and hip-hop styles.
2NE1 experienced immediate commercial success in South Korea upon release, becoming the best-selling album by a female artist and the third best-selling album overall in 2009. It was also released in several other Asian territories, including Thailand, the Philippines, and Japan. The Japanese edition, distributed by Avex's Rhythm Zone, was made available on March 16, 2011.
To promote the album, three singles were released: the LG Cyon promotional single "Lollipop", "Fire", and "I Don't Care". All three singles achieved success on the South Korean charts, with "I Don't Care" winning Song of the Year at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards. In 2014, Star News recognized 2NE1's debut EP as one of the most successful digital albums in South Korean history. By September 2016, the EP had sold over 225,000 physical copies in the country.
