K-pop Legends Greet Filipino Blackjacks Ahead of Weekend Shows
2NE1 has officially arrived in the Philippines, gearing up for their highly anticipated “Welcome Back” concert this weekend. The legendary K-pop group landed late on Thursday evening, November 14, to an enthusiastic welcome from their Filipino fans, known as Blackjacks, who gathered at the airport to cheer them on.
Before boarding their flight to Manila, the girls gave fans a sneak peek into their journey. CL posted a clip on Instagram Stories, telling fans they were on their way to Manila, followed by a selfie on the plane. Dara, always in touch with her Filipino fans, tweeted, “The girls are excited for Filipino food already,” teasing what was to come once they arrived.
The girls—CL, Park Bom, Sandara Park (Dara), and Minzy—are in Manila for a two-night concert on November 16 and 17 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, marking a major milestone in their reunion and comeback tour. The “Welcome Back” tour kicked off in Seoul, South Korea, in October, and their Manila stop promises to be one of the biggest highlights for Filipino Blackjacks.
2NE1’s reunion has been a long-awaited event. YG Entertainment first announced the group’s return in July, and excitement has been building ever since. Fans are ready to see their idols perform hit songs like “I Am the Best,” “Fire,” and “Lonely,” as 2NE1 proves once again why they are one of the most influential and beloved girl groups in K-pop history.
With the weekend just around the corner, the stage is set for an unforgettable experience as 2NE1 reunites with their Filipino fans for an epic comeback concert.
