YG Entertainment co-founder and CEO Yang Hyun Suk sent his yearly message to fans on Wednesday, a practical State of the Union for the K-pop label.

And though Yang's letter covered a variety of topics, the majority of the music mogul's message was devoted to the popular girl group 2NE1.

"Just hearing the name 2NE1 makes our hearts throb," Yang wrote.

"People who are not familiar with the details might think I am overreacting when I say that, but I do so because 2NE1, who made their debut six years ago, will be unveiling a full-length album of new material of for the very first time."

He then launched into a brief history of the group's recordings.

"2NE1 released their first album four years ago in September of 2010, but it was an album with just a few new songs added to previous [material that had been released on] soundtracks," Yang wrote.

Their new 2NE1 album, "CRUSH," is scheduled for release on Feb. 24.

According to Yang, the band's frontwoman, CL, stepped up her level of creative involvement on the album.

"The part that you have to really look at in 2NE1's new album is that CL, the leader, included a whopping three songs that she composed, for the first time ever in her life," he wrote.

"You are the ones to judge the quality of her music. But when I first listened to CL's very own song, the one word that described my feeling was 'surprised.' Which is only natural, because I have known CL for eight years and I never expected her to produce a song like this, and the song was too good to be her very first one."

"CL is one of the very few South Korean female rappers who is known for her charismatic performance and outstanding fashion sense, and I am sure creating her own song will act as a foothold for CL to take another leap forward," he added.

"I can tell that this will bring big changes to 2NE1's future music, while also lighting a path for CL to produce her own solo album."
