2ne1 First Solo Concert, Cancelled

Asian Drama World — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:51:33 +0000

2ne1 First Solo Concert, Cancelled. On November 12th, Yang Hyun Suk, President of YG Entertainment released a statement on YG’s official website. It stated that 2NE1’s solo concerts which were scheduled for December 30th & 31st have been cancelled. The reason given was that they did not have enough songs prepared to hold a solo concert. This doesn’t come as much of a shock since their full length album was also recently postponed from being released this month to sometime next year. In a statement made on the 26th of October, YG had said that they postponed the album release because the fan response to the mini album was so great they wanted to make sure that every song on the full length album was good enough to be a ‘title song.’

The girls of 2NE1 have been crazy busy recently due to the popularity of their hits “Fire” and “I Don’t Care.” They’ve performed on numerous shows, Bom and Sandara both have released singles, and they just won on the 2009 Style Icon Awards. I bet a lot of people don’t realize that 2NE1 just debuted this past May with the release of ”Fire” (although they first appeared with Big Bang in the CF for LG with the song “Lollipop” in March). To help appease fans, YG has promised an ‘unleakable’ surprise from 2NE1 on November 20th.

I personally think YG is wise not to rush 2NE1’s album and concerts. They definitely would be foolish to release an album that was only ‘okay’ or put on a concert before they’re ready, it would ruin a lot of the positive momentum 2NE1 has been gaining with fans. ”Slow and steady wins the race…” I can’t wait to see what CL, Sandara, Bom, and Mizy have in store for us.

We will still wait for the concert of 2ne1 whenever it happens.
