2ne1 returns to Manila in 2014
Two years after its last Manila concert, K-pop group 2ne1 will be seeing Filipino fans again for the Manila leg of its second world tour in 2014.
YG Entertainment’s female hip-hop group, composed of Sandara Park, Park Bom, CL and Minzy, will perform at the Mall of Asia Arena on May 17, 2014, months after its world tour kicks off in Seoul, South Korea on March 1 and 2.
Sandara, who joined Philippine showbiz before joining YG Entertainment, announced the good news in her Twitter account recently.

2ne1 will be holding its world tour in 13 cities in nine countries, for a total of 17 concerts. It is set to perform in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, China, Malaysia and Indonesia, among others.
Sandara expressed excitement over the world tour and added that the group’s Manila concert is extra special because it coincides with 2ne1’s fifth anniversary. 2ne1 debuted in South Korea in May 2009 with the hit single "Fire."
Sa may 17 ang concert namin sa Manila. Sobrang special ang araw na yan dahil 5th anniversary ng 2ne1 ang may 17!!! Yeah! Magcelebrate tayo!
