2NE1 recently had some trouble with their concert ticketing.

On the afternoon of August 5, 2NE1 leader CL shared a video on her Instagram of the members trying to get tickets for their upcoming concert. Ticket sales for the concert started at 8 p.m. that day.

In the video, Minzy is shown clicking the 'Book Now' button on her computer just before tickets went on sale.

Dara is seen trying to buy tickets on her phone. CL, watching them, asks, "Are you practicing?" Minzy replies, "I'm just warming up," showing she’s determined to get tickets.

When ticket sales began and the 'Book Now' button was active, Minzy and Dara struggled to secure their seats.

They complained, "Why can't we click 'Book Now'? Why isn’t it working? We picked the date, so why isn’t it going through?"

Eventually, Minzy sighed and said, "It’s already ruined. There can't be no seats left." CL also questioned, "Isn't the computer acting up?"

In the end, they couldn’t get tickets. Minzy posted a screenshot showing over 400,000 people waiting and a server error, saying, "Ugh. Ticketing failure."

2NE1 will hold their '2024 2NE1 CONCERT [WELCOME BACK] IN SEOUL' at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul, on October 5th and 6th.

This will be their first concert since '[ALL OR NOTHING] in SEOUL' in March 2014, making it a comeback after about 10 years and 6 months.

YG Entertainment’s general producer Yang Hyun-suk is working with them on this comeback, promising great support.

YG Entertainment mentioned, "Given their significant 15th anniversary and the big reunion, we wanted to start their performances this year. We’ve confirmed concerts in Kobe and Tokyo, but we are excited to kick off the tour in Seoul first."

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
