2NE1’s solo concert unlikely to happen

2NE1

About a month ago, we reported about a possible solo concert for 2NE1 due to their popularity ever since debut. While some thought it was a great thing, others were criticizing YG Entertainment for rushing 2NE1 to be the first rookie group to hold a concert so soon. Well, it looks like it isn't going to happen after all!

On the 12th, president of YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk, revealed the news through YG's official homepage. He started it off with commenting:

"Lately Park Bom has been full of smiles and joy and it may be because of the great reactions from fans for You and I. When I am punishing and critizing her, she is still full of smiles so it is a really awkward situation."


He then explained about their solo concert:
"Following the unfortunate news about the delay of 2NE1's album, there is one more bad news. The bad news is that 2NE1's solo concert which was planned for December 30th & 31st seems impossible to happen now. This is because we are lacking songs for the concert. It is a very unfortunate situation for YG as well, as we aren't currently in the competition and now even the concert is canceled. But now our priority is to try our hardest to make a great album for 2NE1."


But he did have some good news:
"The one good news for 2NE1 fans is that 2NE1 is preparing a "surprise show" for November 20th. The word explains all as we will not leak any information about their surprise until the very last day."


Not being able to have a concert is very unfortunate, but be excited about their "surprise show!" What could it possibly be? Let your imaginations run wild!

That’s a bummer but… “punishing and criticizing her” punishing?? o-o

 
no avatar

too bad, but it’d be really hard to hold a concert considering their full album is still yet to to be released.  hmm…im excited about this surprise! smile HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARA! pls tweet your greetings to her (don’t forget to put #happybdaydara to your tweets!)

aw =( at least we have the “surprise”? haha

 
sgt25go's avatar

Its not surprising, I don’t know why YG planned to have a concert in the 1st place. They only have one mini album. That’s not enuff songs, besides the mini album plus a few solos, its too little to have a concert

 
SunKyu's avatar

they’re kind of overrated. i mean, they have talent, but seriously. thinking about a concert not even a year after you debut?

 
mia's avatar

Well there’s always next year. smile
It’s just their first year afterall…
 
@ 29 - If you think like that, then I guess you can say Big Bang was also overrated when they had their first concert the year they debuted.

 
SUPERvivien's avatar

better than nothing right?
its true
they only have a mini album out ...

Keep fighting 2ne1!
The best girl group now and forever^^

 
nayoDEATH's avatar

I figured that everyone would have guessed that already since they are delaying the album. I suppose they just wanted to make sure it was clear. xD
That just means more anticipation for the concert when it actually comes! :3
 
So almost like a guerilla concert, just with an official announcement? xD

 
no avatar

why anyone expected YG to keep to his own release dates is beyond me.

 
no avatar

I hope YG’s not overworking them!
It’s true, although they could pull off a solo concert, they still don’t have enough songs for it.
We still have next year, though!

 
Aznchicken3's avatar

Meh…I knew YG wasn’t going to do it because they didn’t have enough songs. I was really looking forward to it too. But hey, they’re still doing a “surprise show”, which can compensate for the cancellation.

 
no avatar

@29… You being a fan should know that Big Bang had a solo concert in less then a year.

 
Literati Tempo's avatar

Poor Bommie Unnie.

21st Nov is it on MAMA? it is a wise decision, why do they have to rush to hold a solo concert when there is a whole show for YG artists… j/k

LMAO I LOVE BOM. xD

Aw, that would’ve been so sweet… an SNSD concert AND a 2NE1 concert! : / I’m disappointed, but I’ll be waiting for their surprise show!

ooouuu…. i like surprises!! ^ ^

Honestly, I’m glad it got delayed because everything seemed too rushed and it would be better for 2ne1 to establish themselves just a little more before planning such a big thing like a solo concert. I’m also willing to wait if it means their album would have better quality songs instead of filler tracks.

I know Big Bang had a concert soon after they debuted but it seems like it’s a different situation when it comes to male vs female groups because apparently, it’s much easier for male groups to fill up venues.

ooouuuuu… i like surprises!.. ^ ^

@28 i think they planned the concert before because the girls were supposed to release their full album this november. with the release of their album, 2ne1 would have enough songs for a concert on dec. but since the album is delayed, the concert is affected as well.
