BABYMONSTER just got the chance to open for 2NE1 this weekend. The rookie girl group were clearly excited to perform at the ‘WELCOME BACK’ concert in Seoul!
BABYMONSTER Open for 2NE1 Reunion Concert
On October 6, BABYMONSTER had the special opportunity to open for the final day of 2NE1’s highly anticipated ‘WELCOME BACK’ concert in Seoul, celebrating 2NE1’s comeback after a decade. This moment was particularly significant, as it marked a connection between YG Entertainment’s first-ever girl group, 2NE1, and its newest, BABYMONSTER.
As the opening act, BABYMONSTER energized the crowd with their performances of “SHEESH” and “BATTER UP,” showcasing their dynamic stage presence and impressive talent. The group expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support they received from Blackjacks (2NE1’s loyal fanbase) and conveyed how honored they felt to be part of such a monumental event for one of K-pop’s most iconic girl groups.
In a heartfelt gesture, BABYMONSTER’s members Ahyeon and Rami paid tribute to 2NE1 by singing snippets of the group’s beloved hits acapella. Ahyeon delivered a powerful rendition of “Ugly,” while Rami emotionally performed a snippet of “Lonely.” Their covers not only highlighted their vocal abilities but also showcased their admiration for 2NE1, as they proudly shared their excitement as fellow Blackjacks. This connection between the two generations of YG Entertainment girl groups resonated deeply with fans and added an extra layer of sentiment to the concert.
As 2NE1 continues their Asian tour, with stops planned in Manila, Jakarta, Kobe, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, and Taipei, BABYMONSTER is gearing up for their next comeback. With the success of their opening performance for 2NE1 and their continued rise in popularity, BABYMONSTER is poised to make waves in the K-pop industry as they prepare to release new music later this year.
This special moment not only celebrated 2NE1’s triumphant return but also served as a passing of the torch to the next generation of YG Entertainment talent, solidifying BABYMONSTER’s place in the K-pop world.
