Stars Express Love and Support for 2NE1's "WELCOME BACK" Reunion Concerts in Seoul | Soompi

Ah, 2NE1! The iconic group that knows just how to steal the limelight, and they’ve done it again with their reunion tour, aptly titled “WELCOME BACK.” From October 5 to 7, Seoul was transformed into a musical wonderland as fans and celebrities alike flocked to witness this glorious return. Honestly, it was like the red carpet rolled out just for a parade of glitter and nostalgia.
Let’s take a moment to bask in the star-studded spectacle. Celebrities didn’t merely attend; they practically created a constellation of stardom. For starters, there was the adorable BABYMONSTER as a special guest performer. You know it’s a big deal when the younger stars come out to pay respects!
Then there's BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, who, let’s face it, probably waltzed in with a coolness factor that could freeze the sun. And what’s a show without the melodious presence of WINNER’s ensemble: Kang Seung Yoon, Lee Seung Hoon, Song Mino, and Kim Jin Woo? The dynamics of this group alone could power a small country!
How could we forget BLACKPINK’s Jennie? Just her entrance alone could send fans into a frenzy. With her confidence that dazzles brighter than any diamond, she practically could’ve been the headliner. Accompanying her was Yang Hye Ji, proving once more that where there’s talent, there’s bound to be a crowd.
The lineup continued to impress: Thunder, Mimi, iKON’s DK and Jinhwan danced their way in, while SE7EN, Daesung of BIGBANG, and Gummy graced the concert with their illustrious talent. And please, let’s not overlook Jun Hyun Moo, SHINee’s Key, and a cast of others that seemed to be summoned from the pages of a K-pop fan magazine.
The presence of Bang Ye Dam, Cho Sae Ho, and the charming Kim Sook rounded out an impressive evening of celebrity mingling. Did you catch that? Kim Sook and her delightful humor could only make the soirée more entertaining. It was like watching a masterclass in how to be effortlessly witty in the world of glitz.
Dazzling attendees also included 2AM’s Lim Seulong, Jane, and the equally captivating Daisy, whose electrifying performances seemed to resonate among the audience like a long-lost friend. JooE, the lovely B1A4’s Sandeul, and the ever-enigmatic Yoon Do Hyun made their appearance, followed closely by CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa and AB6IX’s Lee Daehwi—because why not have every idol under the sun gathered in one place?
And if you thought that was it, then allow me to introduce you to THE BOYZ’s Kevin, Q, and New, who added just the right touch of youthful exuberance. WEi’s Kang Seok Hwa brightened the scene even further, proving there’s always room for more amazing talent!
A plethora of stars continued to shine bright: Gray, SISTAR’s Dasom, fromis_9’s Park Jiwon and Lee Seoyeon, and the ever-charming Brian Joo were all present. The charm of Uhm Jung Hwa, along with Rowoon and Lee Soo Hyuk, painted a gorgeous picture of camaraderie and shared joy at this phenomenal event.
Other celebrated attendees like NewJeans, aespa’s Winter, Stray Kids members, and BOYNEXTDOOR showed up as well. It's as if the universe decided that the "WELCOME BACK" tour was the perfect occasion for a star-studded reunion, and frankly, who could argue with that?
So here we are, saying welcome back to 2NE1, whose reunion has proven once again that sometimes the oldies really are the goodies. May their tour continue to shine as brightly as the constellation of stars that gathered to support them. And remember, when you watch a group of icons share the stage, it’s not just a concert; it’s a reminder that music and memories are timeless.
