2NE1 Manila concert reset to June 4; K-pop star beats Justin Bieber on Twitter
MANILA, Philippines -- The concert of popular K-pop girl group 2NE1 at the Araneta Coliseum will be held on June 4, according to the organizer.
Happee Sy of Pulp Live Productions announced the date last night on Facebook as “our last hoorah before school starts.”
Sy also confirmed to Bulletin Entertainment that the event, dubbed as “The Party”, is really a concert to answer fans who were asking what will happen during the event.
“Yup,” Sy said in a text message to Bulletin Entertainment. She also clarified on Facebook that the event is not a fan meeting.
With the date now confirmed, fans are waiting to buy the tickets to the concert.
“Can’t wait,” “Super excited,” “Thank you for the amazing news,” and “Let’s go party Blackjacks” were just some of the fans’ reactions to the announcement:
The concert was originally scheduled on May 15 but was reset to June because of 2NE1’s comeback to the K-pop scene this April.
In addition to preparing for their Manila concert and new album, 2NE1 will be busy with their other activities.
2NE1 has signed up for a collaborative project with Adidas Originals in South Korea.
Last year, Adidas Originals designer Jeremy Scott made clothes for 2NE1 in time for the release of the girl group’s album.
