K-pop icons 2NE1 are set to bring their reunion tour to Manila.
The recently announced news comes as the “I Am The Best” hitmakers announce the first leg of their ‘Welcome Back 2024-25 Asia Tour’ — wherein the Philippines serves as the opening stop of the tour. 2NE1 is scheduled to go to Manila this November 16, 2024, with further details regarding the official venue still yet to be announced.
Following Manila, the K-pop quartet will be performing in Jakarta, Indonesia on November 23, 2024. The group’s forthcoming reunion tour is scheduled to commence in Seoul from October 4 to 6 and will be followed by more stops in Osaka and Tokyo from late November to December of this year before continuing further throughout 2025.
Though this marks their official reunion as a group, this isn’t the first time that the four members have performed together in recent years. In 2022, Sandara Park, Park Bom, and Minzy joined leader CL on stage at the latter’s Coachella slot under 88rising to perform their 2011 hit “I Am The Best” to the surprise of the festival’s audience.
2NE1 officially debuted under YG Entertainment on May 17, 2009, with their hit single “FIRE,” which established them as one of the most prolific K-pop girl groups in history. Throughout their time together, the group was able to release a string of hit tracks that included “I Am The Best,” “COME BACK HOME,” “Lonely,” and “I Don’t Care,” up until the departure of Minzy in 2016. Eventually, the remaining members released their final track “Goodbye” in 2017 before disbanding permanently.
