There was a reason why I added one more time...2NE1, overwhelmingly excited by the live performance

Dec 17, 2024

IN JAPAN' at Ariake Arena in Tokyo for three days on the 13th, 14th, and 15th. Originally scheduled performances on the 14th and 15th were sold out rapidly, adding one performance to prove their continued local popularity.

2NE1, which appeared in explosive shouts, opened the concert with the intro 'Come Back Home' and the debut song 'Fire'. He then performed a series of stages, including 'Clap', 'Can't Novody', and 'Do You Love Me', which exploded energy and thrilled the audience with a setlist filled with megahits throughout the running time.

2NE1 was very popular in Japan during its last activities, setting new K-pop records. As we met with local fans to celebrate the 15th anniversary, we made the audience smile by presenting some of the performances in local languages, including `I'm the best.'

There was also a special stage that surprised everyone. Baby Monster appeared as Japan's first performance guest following the Seoul performance, imprinting its presence as a `monster rookie' with an intense stage. The unexpected surprise guest heightened the enthusiasm of the site, and both 2NE1 and Baby Monster showed their affection for each other, giving a glimpse of the warm chemistry of YG girl group seniors and juniors.

The members' control of the stage, which overwhelms the audience, showed synergy with YG's high-quality production using LEDs, bands, and dancers, and the encore atmosphere reached its peak. Members are thrilled by the beautifully embroidered wave of cheering sticks from fans and are grateful to Black Jack for always being there for us. Please stay with us forever. I love you."

Meanwhile, 2NE1 is currently conducting its 15th Asian tour, which is its 25th anniversary in a total of 12 cities. After successfully completing concerts in Seoul, Manila, Jakarta, Kobe, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, the tour turned around, they moved to Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Ho Chi Minh City, and Macau to continue the enthusiasm.
