Since their debut, 2NE1 has released a string of successful chart-toppers, including I Am The Best, Fire, I Don't Care, Lonely, Missing You, Come Back Home, and many more.

The group went on a hiatus in 2015 to pursue solo ventures. However, they surprised fans with a performance at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) in Hong Kong, which is one of MAMA's most-viewed performance by a girl group, with over 49 million views on YouTube.

Minzy announced her departure from 2NE1 in April 2016 and the group announced that it would disband in November 2016. Their final single, Goodbye, was recorded as a trio and released in January 2017.

In April 2022, the four members reunited for the first time since their disbandment with a surprise performance at Coachella, where they performed their hit song, I Am the Best. Several publications, including Rolling Stone listed their performances as one of the festival's best performances of 2022.

Members CL and Sandara will next be seen performing at WATERBOMB Singapore on 24 and 25 August.

Maybe then, we'll be able to get more details about this exciting global tour. And here's hoping for a show in Malaysia!
