2NE1’s First Solo Concert Garners nearly 2.2 Tons Of Rice Wreaths

To commemorate 2NE1‘s Concert, the congratulatory rice wreaths reached until 2.2 tons, making it a hot topic.

2NE1 had their first solo concert, which started on the 26th, held at Olympic Hall, in Seoul Olympic Park. Rice wreaths that weighed a total of 2.2 tons, included those that were sent by international fans from different countries that included the US, China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Taiwan (T/N: I know that fans from Thailand also sent in their rice wreaths. Shoutout to Thai Blackjacks! ^_^).

The side entrance of Olympic Hall for the staff, which measured 50 meters, were all packed with 2NE1 congratulatory rice wreaths, which was from a 2NE1 Fans united site (T/N: I think it’s the site that theBOM started for the specific project. This is the site http://nolza2ne1.wo.to/), that united thousands of fans that come from 10 countries all over the world. The number of international fansites especially attracted attention.

2NE1, who arrived at the venue on the 26th earlier, were surprised with the large numbers and amounts of the rice wreaths, and gladly enjoyed taking photos. The 2.2 tons of rice would be donated to a facility that 2NE1 and YG Entertainment sponsor.

On the other hand, 2NE1’s concert was originally planned for only two shows, but because of tickets sold out as soon as they were sold, and because of the high demand from the fans, another show was added with an additional concert date.
