2NE1 proves its strong global fan spirit and influence by repeatedly adding solo concert episodes to commemorate the 15th anniversary of its debut.
According to YG Entertainment, on September 2, all tickets were sold out ahead of 2NE1’s Japan tour “Welcome Back in Japan” in Kobe (2 times) and Tokyo (2 times).
Thanks to the enthusiastic support of local fans, a total of two additional performances have been confirmed, one in Kobe on November 29 and one in Tokyo on December 13. As a result, 2NE1 will add additional performances to their originally scheduled schedule and meet more fans with a total of six events at Kobe World Memorial Hall in Hyogo Prefecture on November 29, 30, and December 1 and at Ariake Arena in Tokyo from December 13 to 15.
2NE1 has set new records during its Japanese career, marking a milestone in K-pop history. They became the first foreign artists to have their debut album top the Oricon weekly album chart, and their two studio albums and three single albums also achieved significant results. The three tours in Japan were unusual for female artists overseas at the time, and were highlighted by major local media.
2NE1’s comeback for the first time in 10 years was enough to excite fans across the country. In fact, ticket reservations showed explosive demand, and fans who were unable to secure tickets flooded with requests for additional performances and related requests.
The solo concert in Seoul, which will be held before the Japan tour, also showed overwhelming sales power, especially with requests for additional concerts and the opening of limited viewing seats. As it is a place where you can see 2NE1’s full performance, fans at home and abroad are excited.
YG Entertainment plans to further expand 2NE1’s tour schedule and meet audiences around the world by next year to meet the wishes of global fans.
2NE1 will hold “Welcome Back in Seoul” at the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park for three days from October 4 to 6 to kick off a celebration announcing the legendary girl group’s comeback.
