2NE1, a representative second-generation girl group that celebrated its 15th debut anniversary this year, will hold a solo concert for the first time in 10 years and 6 months.

According to YG Entertainment on the 4th, 2NE1 will hold the ‘2024 2NE1 Concert’ at the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park from this day to the 6th. [웬컴 백(WELCOME BACK)] ‘In Seoul’ opens. Due to the delay in finalizing the performance schedule, it was difficult to rent a venue, so it will be held in a relatively small performance hall and is expected to attract about 10,000 people over three days.

As the title ‘Welcome Back’ suggests, 2NE1 members came forward to create a performance for fans who have been waiting for a long time. YG said that the members led the entire preparation process, including set list, arrangement, stage composition, and even details such as choreography and costumes.

In particular, there will be a parade of 2NE1’s hit songs. Band sessions, a rich team of dancers, and YG’s concert production know-how are added.

YG said, “Thanks to this, 2NE1’s unique identity that enthused the public in the past has been fully incorporated,” and “We will once again recreate the majesty of the ‘original K-pop queen’ by focusing on their originality, which itself stimulates nostalgia.” I expected that.

2NE1, which debuted under YG in 2009, is a group with strong personalities and has risen to the ranks of top groups with hit songs such as ‘I’m the Best’ and ‘I Don’t Care’. They went on two world tours and ranked 61st on the US Billboard’s main chart ‘Billboard 200’ with their 2014 album ‘Crush’.

After the ‘2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)’ held at the Asia World Expo in Hong Kong in December 2015, the group virtually took steps to disband. The following year, in April 2016, Minzy left the team first, and the decision was made to disband in November of the same year. The last song, ‘GOOD BYE’, was released in January 2017.

Then, in April 2022, they performed a surprise full-length performance at the ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2022’, the largest music festival in the United States. It was the first time in 6 years and 4 months that the four team members performed on stage as a group.

CL, who was invited as a guest to the US-based Asian label ’88 Rising’, invited Park Bom, Sandara Park, and Minzy to their stage. After 1 year and 6 months, they performed again as a complete group.

Since then, the four members have continued to communicate, and an official reunion was concluded this year after discussing 2NE1 with producer Yang. Currently, there is no singer belonging to YG. Nevertheless, this concert will be collaborated with YG general producer Yang Hyun-seok, who discovered 2NE1.

2NE1 will begin an Asian tour of 15 concerts in 9 cities, starting with this Seoul concert. Move to Manila, Jakarta, Kobe, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, and Taipei.
