[2NE1 Series ②] Coming Back? Or Not?
[일간스포츠=엄동진 기자] “We have no plan for 2NE1’s comeback yet.”
This is what YANG HYUN SUK, the main producer of YG ENTERTAINMENT, said. Then, why did he make 2NE1 perform at MAMA? “This is a surprise gift to the fans who miss 2NE1 and want to see them perform,” he said. “To make this a surprise event, they couldn’t have a single rehearsal or use the waiting room within the venue. They went straight up to the stage.”
As Mr. Yang said, many fans missed 2NE1. They are virtually the only girl group that has charisma and many female fans. The fans had a sense of loss as the distinctive girl group was having a hiatus. So as the main producer, Mr. Yang has always wanted to do something for the fans who are looking forward to the comeback of 2NE1.
2NE1 is more popular abroad than in Korea. And MAMA draws enormous attention from many music fans in Asia. It was a good opportunity for 2NE1 to meet up with their fans after a long hiatus.
In fact, only CL was supposed to give a solo performance on Wednesday. She sang “THE BADDEST FEMALE” followed by “HELLO BITCHES,” the single she disclosed before releasing the debut album in the U.S. And after her solo performance, all the other members of 2NE1 came to the stage.
They performed “FIRE” and the fans were excited. It has been nearly two years since they last performed as a group. And they sang “I AM THE BEST,” their biggest hit song, and the audience got fired up. It seemed like they had never had a long hiatus, and they were even more charismatic than before. Anticipation is running high for their possible comeback in 2016.
