2NE1, our legendary queens, brought down the house and reminded everyone why they're K-pop royalty! Their stage presence was everything, their charisma? Unforgettable! They absolutely owned their 15th-anniversary celebration, rocking a massive 12 cities and 27 shows across Asia! And that grand finale? The "2025 2NE1 CONCERT [WELCOME BACK] ENCORE IN SEOUL" at the KSPO DOME on April 12 and 13 was pure magic!
Just like every single stop on their Asian tour, all 22,000 seats in Seoul were completely packed with screaming fans – that's a mind-blowing 220,000 of us who got to witness this epic journey together! Can you even believe it?! What were your favorite moments from the tour? Let's reminisce!
The performance
Wow, what a performance it must have been! 2NE1 truly cemented their legendary status with that sold-out concert in Seoul. It's incredible to see the immense love and support they still receive from Blackjacks and the K-pop community after all these years.
Their powerful stage presence and unique charisma are undeniable, and it sounds like they delivered a setlist packed with their iconic hits, along with some emotional ballads and captivating solo stages. The fact that the encore in Seoul at the KSPO Dome, a much larger venue than their initial concerts, also sold out speaks volumes about their enduring popularity and impact.
It's also heart-warming to hear about the members expressing their happiness at fulfilling their promise to end the tour on a high note in Seoul and their gratitude towards their fans, which they made sure to live up too. Moments like these really showcase the special bond between 2NE1 and Blackjacks.
The production
During their Welcome Back Tour, 2NE1 intentionally revisited their signature sound by performing their iconic tracks in their original arrangements. CL, the group's leader, highlighted this approach as a departure from previous tours, which often showcased rearranged songs and updated choreography. Moreover, the four members were deeply involved in shaping every facet of the concert experience, from curating the setlist and designing the stage to developing the choreography and selecting the costumes.
The high-quality production, incorporating YG's expertise, seems to have elevated the concert experience even further, with creative use of LEDs, a live band, and stage props that reflected the members' individuality. It's fantastic that they aimed to deliver a classic 2NE1 show, reminding everyone why they are considered K-pop royalty.
The set list
Alrightm Blackjacks, let's take a trip down memory lane! The show kicked off with an intro that gave us chills with hints of "Come Back Home," and then BAM! We were set on fire with "Fire" and clapped our hands to "Clap Your Hands" like there was no tomorrow. We all sang along to "Can't Nobody" at the top of our lungs and felt all the feels with "Do You Love Me" and the sweet vibes of "Falling in Love." Then came the iconic "I Don't Care," bringing back all those powerful memories.
Our fierce leader CL set the stage ablaze with killer snippets of "The Baddest Female" and "MTBD," before tugging at our heartstrings with "Missing You" and the raw emotion of "It Hurts (Slow)." We swayed together during "If I Were You" and felt the longing in "Lonely" and the sweet serenade of "I Love You." We all belted out "Ugly" with pride and got hyped up with "Gotta Be You" before the full force of "Come Back Home" hit us. And of course, how could we forget jumping and singing our hearts out to the one and only "I Am the Best" and the electrifying energy of "Go Away" to close the main set?
Final thoughts
Thinking back on the 2025 tour, each song hit differently, didn't it? From the fierce energy of "Fire" and "I Am the Best" that made you want to jump and sing at the top of your lungs, to the raw emotion in "Lonely" and "Missing You" that brought tears to our eyes, every single track was a moment. And those iconic bangers like "I Don't Care" and "Come Back Home" live? Absolutely legendary! It's impossible to pick just one favorite, because each song painted a different part of the 2NE1 story we all love so much. What songs are still playing on repeat in your head, Blackjacks? Let's keep the memories alive!
For the encore, each night was a special surprise, but we were often treated to the pure joy of "Happy" and the infectious beats of "In the Club"!
