According to YG Entertainment, 2NE1 successfully concluded their “2024 2NE1 CONCERT [WELCOME BACK] IN SEOUL” at the Olympic Hall from the 4th to the 6th. This marked their first full-group performance in over a decade, celebrating their 15th anniversary with all 12,000 tickets sold out in record time.
As the 4 members’ vocals filled the dark venue with “Come Back Home,” the crowd erupted in cheers. 2NE1 took the stage, delivering high-energy performances of “Fire,” “Clap Your Hands,” and “Can’t Nobody,” igniting excitement among the audience. Their medley of hits evoked intense emotions and nostalgia, particularly with “Lonely,” while CL’s hip-hop-infused solo and their iconic track “I Am the Best” showcased the group’s dynamic charm.
On October 5 and 6, YG’s junior group, BABYMONSTER, made a surprise appearance, honoring the legacy of YG girl groups. They performed acapella versions of 2NE1’s hits and expressed their gratitude, “We are honored to be the first guests at such a meaningful event and will strive to be as great as our seniors.” In response, 2NE1 praised them, showcasing a warm senior-junior bond.
This 15th-anniversary concert highlighted the bond between 2NE1 and their fans. The group engaged closely with the audience, even greeting fans in the stands, who responded with standing ovations and cheers, rekindling their deep connection.
Overwhelmed with emotion during their first full-group appearance in a decade, some members teared up. “We are thrilled to celebrate our 15th anniversary here, where we held our first concert. It feels like a dream to reunite with our Blackjack (2NE1’s fandom name),” they shared. “Our lives have always been intertwined with our fans. Thank you for your unwavering support.”
Following the Seoul concert, 2NE1 is set to expand their connection with fans worldwide.
