2NE1 is showing their lasting impact on the global stage with their 15th-anniversary solo concert tour.

YG Entertainment announced on September 2 that 2NE1’s Japan tour, '2024 2NE1 CONCERT [WELCOME BACK] IN JAPAN,' has completely sold out all tickets for their shows in Kobe (2 shows) and Tokyo (2 shows).

The overwhelming support from fans has led to two additional performances being added: one in Kobe on November 29 and one in Tokyo on December 13.

With these new dates, 2NE1 will now perform a total of six shows: at Kobe World Memorial Hall on November 29-30 and December 1, and at Tokyo Ariake Arena on December 13-15.

2NE1 has a remarkable history in Japan, having set several records during their previous activities. They were the first foreign artist to top the Oricon Weekly Album Chart with their debut album, and their follow-up albums and singles also achieved great success.

Their past tours in Japan were groundbreaking for a foreign female artist and were widely covered by local media.

The group’s return after a decade has sparked a massive response from Japanese fans. The high demand for tickets led to numerous requests for extra shows from fans who missed out on tickets.

Before heading to Japan, 2NE1’s solo concerts in Seoul also saw overwhelming ticket sales, with additional shows and restricted view seats quickly filling up. Fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to see the full lineup of 2NE1 once again, both in Korea and around the world.

YG Entertainment plans to extend the tour schedule to meet the high expectations of global fans, promising more excitement in the coming year.

In the meantime, 2NE1 will perform '2024 2NE1 CONCERT [WELCOME BACK] IN SEOUL' from October 4 to 6 at the Olympic Hall, Olympic Park in Seoul.

Park Seul Gi shared more about the event, saying, "I made a meeting that felt like a fairy tale, with actor Byeon Woo Seok and the adorable ‘Tong Tong’ (the nickname for Byeon Woo Seok’s fan club) all gathered together! There were many moments where my heart raced, but it was an hour where I stayed focused and did my best."

She also expressed her gratitude, saying, "I’m really thankful for and happy about the Tong Tong fans who always greet me warmly, not just actor Woo Seok. Is there any April Fools’ Day more unbelievable than this!? Let’s run through April with energy!"
