  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

South Korean girl group 2NE1 have received numerous of awards and honors. When the group debuted, "Fire" (2009) received the Cyworld Song of the Month while 2NE1 was named the Rookie of the Month in May 2009. [1] At the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards, "I Don't Care" won the Song of the Year award, making 2NE1 the first idol group in South Korean history to receive a daesang prize in their debut year. [2] The group received a number of awards at the Cyworld Digital Music Awards, including Top-Selling Artist, Best Rookie Group, Bonsang Award, and Song of the Year (for "I Don't Care").
