K-pop legends 2NE1 have officially announced additional shows for their highly anticipated 2024-25 "WELCOME BACK" Asia Tour. After a thrilling reunion at Coachella in 2022, the iconic girl group is back on stage to deliver unforgettable performances across the continent. The new dates include stops in Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh, and Macau, much to the excitement of global fans.
The Return of 2NE1
Formed by YG Entertainment in 2009, 2NE1 (투애니원), consisting of Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy, revolutionized K-pop with their fierce attitude, bold fashion, and genre-defying music. Known for breaking stereotypes and setting new standards for K-pop girl groups, 2NE1 rose to fame with their unique blend of hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music. Hits like "I Am the Best," "Lonely," and "Fire" became anthems that defined an era of K-pop.
The group’s debut EP and their groundbreaking global tour, The New Evolution Global Tour in 2012, solidified their international fame, making them the first K-pop girl group to tour globally. Their second studio album, Crush (2014), was another milestone, becoming the highest-charting album by a Korean artist on the Billboard 200 at the time.
2NE1’s Lasting Impact
Over the course of their career, 2NE1 amassed numerous accolades, including nine Melon Music Awards, eleven Cyworld Digital Music Awards, and ten MAMA Awards. With over 66 million records sold worldwide, they became one of the best-selling girl groups in history. Their innovative approach to music and their daring, empowering image continue to inspire both fans and artists in the K-pop industry.
Despite their disbandment in 2016, following Minzy's departure, 2NE1's influence never waned. Their surprise Coachella performance in 2022 sparked massive excitement, and in 2024, the group reunited for their Welcome Back tour, bringing their high-energy performances back to stages across Asia.
2024-25 "WELCOME BACK" Asia Tour: Additional Shows
As part of their highly anticipated comeback, 2NE1 will be performing in cities across Asia, giving their loyal CL, Dara, Bom, and Minzy fans a chance to relive the unforgettable moments that made them a global phenomenon. The new dates, which include Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh, and Macau, are sure to be highlights for those who have eagerly awaited their return.
With each performance promising a mix of classic hits and the possibility of new material, fans can expect nothing less than a spectacular show. This tour marks an important moment in K-pop history as 2NE1 continues to prove that their legacy remains as strong as ever.
