2NE1, one of the most iconic girl groups in K-pop history, originally debuted under YG Entertainment in 2009. The group, consisting of CL, Dara, Minzy, and Park Bom, quickly gained fame with their powerful music and charismatic performances. However, after a successful run, the group disbanded in 2016 due to various reasons, including contractual issues and individual pursuits.

The announcement has sent waves of excitement through social media, particularly among Blackjacks, the group’s dedicated fanbase.
Yang Hyun Suk shared in the video that the members expressed a strong desire to hold concerts commemorating this milestone. Plans are in motion for a grand tour starting in October, with the first concert in Seoul. The tour will also include performances in Osaka and Tokyo in November and December, though final schedule adjustments are still underway.
Yang Hyun Suk emphasized the significance of these concerts, highlighting their role in celebrating 2NE1’s enduring legacy and their impact on fans. He expressed excitement about the special nature of these shows, noting the extensive efforts by the team to ensure a memorable experience.
