Blackjacks, are y'all still okay after last night's (Oct 4) concert?
It has been over a decade since K-pop legends 2NE1 last went on tour and nine years since they last performed together (excluding their surprise 2022 Coachella reunion), but fans were as hyped as ever for CL, Dara, Park Bom and Minzy to go on their 15th anniversary Welcome Back Asia tour.
It appears that some of their fans are fellow K-pop idols, as social media was abuzz with the news that BigBang's G-Dragon, girl group Babymonster and Aespa's Winter were in attendance on Oct 4 at the Olympic Hall in Seoul.
