“Did They Hop on a Time Machine?” 2NE1 Reignites the Stage After 9 Years, Proving Their Legendary Status Once Again
[마이데일리 = 이승길 기자] K-pop legend girl group 2NE1 has once again demonstrated their unrivaled presence, returning to the broadcast end-of-year stage after nine years.
On December 25, 2NE1 appeared at the ‘2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon’ held at Incheon Inspire Arena. Following a majestic opening VCR, they burst onto the stage with one of their hit songs, ‘Come Back Home’, instantly capturing the atmosphere.
From their debut track ‘Fire’ to ‘I Don’t Care’, ‘UGLY’, and ‘I AM THE BEST’, a relentless medley of 2NE1’s hits filled the stage. Their 15 years of expertise shone through in a live performance brimming with explosive charisma, commanding the stage and thrilling both the audience on-site and viewers at home.
It was truly a moment where the power of music, timeless and transcendent, was palpably felt. Despite the songs being over a decade old, the audience’s chorus resonated throughout the venue, turning it into a festival-like atmosphere. The aura exuded by the four members together on stage brought back the nostalgia of their peak days as the quintessential girl crush group in K-pop.
Having returned in full force this year and celebrating their 15th debut anniversary with an Asia tour, 2NE1 has once again become the center of attention through this year’s Gayo Daejeon. Music fans commented, “This performance clearly showed why they are still considered legends” and “It was like traveling back in time to those days, reviving old memories.”
Currently, 2NE1 is meeting fans worldwide through their ‘2024-25 2NE1 ASIA TOUR [WELCOME BACK]’. With most of their shows sold out, demonstrating their strong ticketing power, they are set to continue this momentum with upcoming performances in Manila, Jakarta, Kobe, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and further stops in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Ho Chi Minh City, and Macao.
