2NE1 has reunited in the practice room, and CL is giving fans a behind-the-scenes look.

On July 27th, CL shared photos and videos showing the 2NE1 members—Sandara Park, Park Bom, and Gong Minzy—having a great time as they prepared for their upcoming concerts.

YG Entertainment had previously announced that 2NE1 will be making a full-group comeback to celebrate their 15th anniversary. The group’s concerts will kick off in Seoul in early October, followed by shows in Osaka and Tokyo in late November and December.

In the clips shared by CL, Sandara Park was seen striking a pose, thinking CL was taking a photo. When CL revealed it was actually a video, Sandara Park sighed, making everyone laugh.

Park Bom had a fun moment when she watched a video of someone impersonating her. CL joked, "Doesn’t it look just like you, unnie?" and Park Bom shyly replied, "No," which added to the fun. There was also a glimpse of someone believed to be Gong Minzy, bringing even more joy.

Sandara Park, Park Bom, and Gong Minzy all shared CL’s post, leaving comments like "So cute" and "ㅋㅋㅋㅋ," showing their close bond.

YG's head producer Yang Hyun Suk recently spoke about the group’s comeback after eight years. He said, "2NE1 was our first girl group at YG. The members wanted to celebrate their 15th anniversary with a concert, so we had a joyful meeting to make it happen this year."

He added, "The concerts will start in early October in Seoul and continue in Japan in late November and December. We’re still adjusting the schedule, but we believe this will be a special event. Fans who grew up with 2NE1 will be able to relive the memories. We’re working hard to make this performance a success."

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
