According to Koreaboo, Kpop fans around the world are excited about the news that YG Entertainment's legendary girl group 2NE1 (including CL, Park Bom, Dara, Minzy) will reunite for the first time since they performed together. at the Coachella music festival in 2022, and before that since their disbandment in 2017.
YG has confirmed that 2NE1 will have a tour to celebrate their 15th debut anniversary, starting in October in Korea, then continuing to Japan and lasting until 2025.
The official location and date of the concert in Korea were also made public. The company said that 2NE1's music night will take place at 6:00 p.m. on October 5, at the Olympic Hall (Seoul) with a capacity of about 3,000 spectators.
Some opinions say that 2NE1's important comeback after 15 years took place in a place with fewer seats than expected. Besides, ticket prices for the concert are also controversial.
The listed ticket price is 165,000 won (about 3 million VND). This ticket price is considered reasonable for international audiences to see a show abroad. However, many people complain that this price for Korean audiences to watch a show in the country is expensive.
On the contrary, there are also counter-arguments that ticket prices for Kpop artists' concerts have now increased significantly compared to before, and YG is just following this trend.
On the other hand, 2NE1 is a legendary girl group of the 2nd generation of Kpop, so many fans are willing to spend an amount even larger than 165,000 won to be able to witness the group reunite.
Some other viewers were skeptical about 2NE1's reunion, mainly related to YG Entertainment founder - former President Yang Hyun Suk and his previous treatment of 2NE1 members.
They suspect that 2NE1 members are being used as a means of making money by Yang Hyun Suk, in the context that YG company is facing difficulties and operating profits are decreasing.
