There is one Avex statement regarding Korean girl group 2NE1 considering to be the female counterpart of Tohoshinki, and Avex like them to sign, since 2NE1's Korean record label, YG Entertainment and the founder/CEO Yang Hyun Suk stated that 2NE1 is confirmed to debut in Japan next year, and Avex maybe their label in Japan.

But as you all see, YG artists is signed to many japanese labels: Universal Music Japan (Big Bang), Nexstar Records and Columbia Music Entertainment (Se7en). If 2NE1 will sign to Avex, all YG products to be distributed in Japan will have them own by Avex in terms of distribution, as well as all over Asia (just like SM Entertainment and Fluxus Entertainment in Korea, in which all artists under the label have them distributed by Avex all over Asia).
