Memories For Those Who Grew Up with 2NE1’s Music

Yang said that the concert would be special, especially for those who grew up with 2NE1’s music. He added that staff members are already working hard to make the anniversary concert a success.

“I think this concert will be quite special. It resonates with those who grew up with 2NE1’s music, sharing those memories. And in the case of 2NE1, they have an incredible number of hit songs so all the staff are working hard together to create a successful show.”

Who Is 2NE1?

Lest you’re unaware, 2NE1 is a girl group comprising four members: CL, Sandara Park, Minzy and Park Bom.

They debuted back in May 2009 with the single Fire and hits such as Lonely and I Don’t Care.

However, the group later disbanded in April 2016 following the departure of Minzy, while the other members focused on their solo careers.

Speculations

The announcement of 2NE1’s reunion may not come as a surprise to some K-pop fans.

Rumours about the group’s comeback have been swirling ever since CL was spotted outside YG Entertainment building.

And it looks like they aren’t the only girl group making a comeback.
