A Journey Through Four Years of Disbandment
In recent years, the iconic K-Pop girl group 2NE1 has captured the hearts of Blackjacks worldwide. After disbanding in 2016, their loyal fans feared they might never witness the return of CL, Dara, Park Bom, and Minzy together on stage. The apprehension of a permanent farewell lingered heavy in the air until an unexpected surprise rocked the stage at Coachella 2022. The group’s performance reignited hope in fans and paved the way for their much-anticipated reunion in 2024.
From Friendship to Reunion Planning
During an episode of the talk show ‘You Quiz on the Block,’ CL shared that the journey towards their reunion began with simple, everyday gatherings. “Just four months ago, to some, we were considered a disbanded group,” she mentioned. However, the bond remained strong among the members, who regularly met, celebrated birthdays, and discussed their desire to come together again. These intimate moments eventually transformed into a plan for a full tour.
The Full Circle: A New Chapter for 2NE1
After extensive discussions with their former label, YG Entertainment, 2NE1 announced a full tour in July. CL expressed that reuniting required everyone to be “fully okay” and emphasized that she never believed their story had concluded. As they prepare to celebrate their 15th anniversary, fans can look forward to a nostalgic journey filled with music and memories. This reunion signifies not just a return, but a powerful reminder of friendship, perseverance, and the indomitable spirit of 2NE1.
