We present a preliminary report on the first deep infrared photometry of 2MASS GC01 and 2MASS GC02 ( GC01 and GC02 hereafter ) - new Galactic globular cluster ( GC ) candidates , discovered by the 2MASS .
They both appear to be genuine disk GCs though highly obscured .
The location of the two GCs suggests that they are metal rich - [ Fe/H ] \sim - 0.5 .
We estimated their distance and reddening using the K _ { s } - band brightness of the red giant branch ( RGB ) bump , and J - K _ { s } color of the RGB at M _ { K } = -3 mag : D = 3.1 \pm 0.5 , 3.9 \pm 0.6 kpc , and A _ { V } = 20.9 \pm 0.7 , 17.2 \pm 1.2 mag , for GC01 and GC02 respectively .
Variation in the metal abundance can change our results within 30 - 35 % .
