YG underestimated 2NE1. It doesn't make sense to pick up 6,000 seats at the reunion concert for the first time in 10 years

According to YG Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as YG), all the second performances of the "2024 2NE1 Concert in Seoul" to be held at Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park on October 5 and 6 were sold out at the same time as the reservation began on the 5th.
Since its debut in 2009, 2NE1 has pioneered a new path for K-pop by hitting all of its songs, including 'Can't No Body'Go Away'Clap'You and I'm Don't Care'Come Back Home'Fire'I'm the Best'Ugly' Lonely'Hate You'. Although it is based on hip-hop, it is still called Legend due to its unrivaled ability and conceptual ability to digest all genres such as electronic ballads and R&B.
Since 2NE1 was reunited in 10 years after being notified of its dissolution by YG in 2014, the picketing was expected. Moreover, the Olympic Hall was only 3,000 seats, including standing, so a more intense ticket war was predicted. And at the same time as the ticket opened, more than 410,000 people visited at the same time, causing a ticket chaos. Moreover, the confusion was aggravated because up to four copies per person could be purchased.
In the end, fans who couldn't get tickets are waging an off-the-shelf war. Ticket prices for 2NE1 concerts are already trading at 500,000 won, and the price of tickets has soared to 1.2 million won for standing seats.
As a result, fans are hoping for an additional performance by 2NE1. Fans will be filled with a three-day performance at the Sangam World Cup Stadium', 'Taking the 2NE1 hit song test, listening to it for 3 seconds, and only those who know the song name should enter' is pouring out a lot of criticism.
YG said, "Thank you for your support and love from the fans"We are preparing the best stage that will be remembered for as long as the time you waited, so please look forward to a special moment for 2NE1 and fans to make together."
Starting with Seoul performances on October 5 and 6, 2NE1 will move to Kobe World Hall in late November and Ariake Arena in Tokyo in early December. It is then expected to further expand its global tour schedule and communicate closely with more audiences until next year.
