Write to only one column in a listView?

I have two columns in my listView, lets call them Column1, and Column2.

Is it possible to add a bunch of items to column1 only, and make it so those items only go strictly under column1 and not column2?

When I add items it adds an item to Column1, and then Column2 and I don't want that.

How would I go about doing this?

Here's some of my test code. I made an array with two strings. I want both of those strings to go under column1 (each in their own row) and not under column2. When I test it, they still go under column1 AND column2 which is what I don't want.

string[] h = {"Hi","Hello"};
listViewGoogleInsight.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(h));

Maybe this will help:

string[] h = {"Hi","Hello"}; 
foreach(string s in h) //this in case when you have more that two strings in you array
   listViewGoogleInsight.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(s));

In your code you are passing a string array to the constructor of a ListViewItem which is creating one ListViewSubitem of the "Hello". You should add each string separately.

EDIT: After your request to add only to column2 you can do it like this. You must pass empty string to for the first column because you need to make a ListViewItem for the first column and additional ListViewSubitems for every other column. 

    string[] h = { "Hi", "Hello" };
int count=0;
                foreach (string s in h) //this in case when you have more that two strings in you array
                {
                    ListViewItem lvi = listView1.Items[count++];
                    lvi.SubItems.Add(s);
                    listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
                }
