YG Entertainment revealed on social media that K-pop girl group 2NE1 will have a return concert on October 5 and 6 at Seoul, South Korea's Olympic Hall.
"We hope this news will be a great gift to BLACKJACK, who have been waiting for 2NE1 for a long time," the agency said. BLACKJACK is the group's fan base.
Sandara Park’s return to stage
As 2NE1 gets a comeback tour, Sandara Park, who initially rose to fame in the Philippines, will return to the K-Pop stage.
Soon after 2NE1's return was announced, Park, a proud Filipino, delighted supporters on social media.
On X, Park, who goes by “Dara” as her stage name in the group, asked, “Marami pa bang PH Blackjacks?" when a 2NE1 fan asked her if the Philippines was included in the girl group's 2025 world tour.
Consisting of Dara, CL, Bom, and Minzy, 2NE1 has spawned numerous hits, including songs like "I Don't Care," "I Am The Best," and "FIRE".
Keeping fingers crossed
According to Park, "this is one of my [wishes] syempre" for a stop in the Philippines during 2NE1's next world tour, since Filo Blackjacks invited her to play there as part of their tour.
Six years after splitting up in November 2016, they collaborated once more on stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2022. The members have been occupied with their individual ventures under various agencies ever then.
Park has recently been making vlogs in the Philippines. During an episode of her vlog series "It's More Fun with Dara Tour," the K-Pop sensation took fellow 2NE1 member Minzy to her former Pasay City neighborhood.
She also visited her former school Philippine Pasay Chung Hua Academy for the first time in over 20 years.
