2NE1has shared their thoughts ahead of their 15th-anniversary reunion concert.
It feels like a dream.
I dont think it will feel real until were actually on stage.
Ive dreamed of the four of us being on stage together, and now its finally happening.
Im really excited and nervous.Q: The audience has been eagerly waiting for this, just like 2NE1.
All three days of the concert sold out instantly.
This concert venue is where we held our first concert, which makes it even more special.
Im so thankful that people still love us and have waited for us.
Weve reunited with our usual dancers and staff, so not much has changed.
Instead of preparing something entirely new, we focused on showing what 2NE1 has always been.
Weve all grown and changed, and being in the same space again feels emotional and new.
The process has been healing and enlightening.
Q: Since you have many hit songs, the setlist must have been carefully curated.
During our active years, it was hard for the groups identity to fully solidify.
But over time, I think our music has matured and become more complete.
After working separately for so long, spending time together again while practicing has been special.
Before, these moments felt routine, but now they feel valuable.
Were preparing with a commitment to making new memories together.Dara:Im already feeling sad.
We started practicing in July, and I think Ill miss these moments once were on stage.
Things that felt so ordinary before now feel special, so Im trying to enjoy every moment.
Q: Youre working with YG again, the agency that launched 2NE1.
How does that feel?CL:Its truly special.
Being back here adds even more meaning to it.
Im thankful for everyone who has passionately worked on this project.Dara:It feels familiar and reassuring.
The 2NE1 members have been with YG for over 15 years.
It feels like coming home, and I feel warm inside.
Also, they know us so well that its been easy to work together again.
And everything is coming together smoothly.
It could be nostalgia or the joy of singing along and dancing.
(Let’s Play!)
I always feel like I can have the most fun when I listen to 2NE1s music.
Just hearing the beat makes me want to dance, and I hope the audience feels the same.
Also, 2NE1’s first concert was ‘NOLZA’ so it’s very meaningful.CL:Marking our presence.
I believe this concert will leave a clear mark that 2NE1 is still here, standing strong.
After all this time, were back together, and were moving forward.
I hope this reunion and our activities will create a positive wave in K-pop.
Its been a decade since we last performed a full concert for Blackjacks.
Like our fans, Im also a fan of 2NE1, and its been emotional to finally reunite.
Im determined to repay Blackjacks for their patience with a great performance.Minzy:Thank you for waiting.
Ive often wondered how you could wait and love us continuously for 15 years.
Were preparing performances that will live up to your expectations, so hey stay with us.
