Beautiful 2NE1 at AON in Singapore! ^_^ Thank you HD photos! ♥
I swear the girls are looking more and more beautiful in each concert! Check out 2NE1 as energetic as ever below! ^_^
More photos of the beautiful girls below! ^^
Beautiful Dara is oh so beautiful! ❤ Not only is she a pretty face, but we all can see that she’s talented as well! She brings her 100% to the table and contributes a lot to what makes 2NE1 such a formidable group. ^^
Our girls killed it at AON in SG! ❤ The audience were all amazed at how they rocked the stage, and are in awe of their mad mad mad skills! ❤
In Dec 2012, 2NE1 blew us away with their New Evolution concert. Two years on, the South Korean quartet returned to our shores with their second world tour All or Nothing (AON) held at Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday night, flaunting a stronger and better side that proved why they are truly the best.
Despite 2NE1’s regular visits to Singapore, local Blackjacks (2NE1 fans) have never failed to give the ladies a warm welcome, according to Dara. Shortly after landing at the airport on Friday, the enthusiastic singer tweeted: “Wazzup Singapore?!? We’re here!!! Our Singapore Blackjacks are always very passionate!!!”
And what’s even more amusing was how the hashtag #2NE1comeliao (so Singaporean!) – we believe it’s a wordplay on the group’s latest hit track “Come Back Home” – started trending after they arrived in Singapore.
On Saturday, 2NE1’s eventful schedule included a press conference at Square 2, as well as an exclusive Sound Check and Meet & Greet session with some lucky fans in the afternoon, before they finally took the stage at 7.15pm. The two-hour show opened with their new song “Crush” and debut single “Fire”, setting the house on party mode within minutes.
As we learned from a video that was shown during the concert, AON is conceptualised into four main themes – Pink, White, Red and Black. Although pink is considered a feminine colour, toy guns were used as props in this segment to show that women can be as strong as men. During the White section that is meant to portray the “pure and serene vibes of women”, slow-tempo tracks such as “Missing You”, “If I Were You” and “Come Back Home” (acoustic version) were performed. As for the Red and Black segments, they symbolise “love and sexiness” and “rebellion” respectively.
If we were to sum up the concert in two words, it has to be: girl power.
While 2NE1 is extremely popular among female fans, four lucky chaps, who were pre-selected to go on stage, went home with the biggest reward last night – each of them received a short but ultra-sultry lap dance from a member.
Onstage theatrics aside, 2NE1 pumped anticipation levels to the roof when the ladies hinted that they will return to Singapore with their “family” soon. YG Family concert on our little red dot? Yes, please.
Dara: The Kiiroitori fan who loves Singapore the most
Dara likes Kiiroitori, a Japanese cartoon character which means “yellow chick”, so much that she once used it as her profile picture on Twitter. Since then, she has received tons of Kiiroitori-related toys from her beloved Blackjacks.
Her love for the character was on full display when she performed with a Kiiroitori headgear thrown on stage by a fan during the encore segment, without caring if it matched with her black streetwear outfit. The 29-year-old even posted a photo of herself wearing it after the concert.
Arguably the most excited member on stage, Dara repeatedly declared her love for Singapore. “I’m so happy to be part of 2NE1. Thank you for making me feel this way!” she exclaimed.
Judging from her numerous social media posts to express her gratitude and affection for local fans (and chilli crab), we aren’t questioning Dara’s sincerity at all.

SINGAPORE — It would be easy to dismiss 2NE1 as yet another Korean pop act — especially when you see their elaborate stage design — but they are really anything but. Playing at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday night, the four-member group, comprising CL, Minzy, Dara and Bom, set the stage on fire.
It is a mark of 2NE1’s strength as good entertainers that even though half of the audience probably couldn’t understand the mostly Korean lyrics, they were on their feet for most of the two-hour show. Starting with the title track of their newest album Crush, the girls appeared in glittery red and gold military-inspired outfits with a group of male back-up dancers dressed in pink. The set was energy-filled, fun and edgy — all trademarks of the group that pioneered a new, stronger brand of femininity in the K-pop scene.
The second set saw 2NE1 change into all-white outfits and entering the stage via silk swings, making it seem as if they were floating in from the clouds. Performing a laid back, acoustic version of Come Back Home, the members showed off their individual vocal strengths and they garnered loads of cheers when Dara introduced the song, Ugly: “We all feel a little ugly sometimes, on the inside and out, and this is to remind you that you are beautiful.”
After their third costume change (this time the girls came out dressed in their familiar urban streetwear) the group returned to performing their signature hip-hop sounds, complete with choreography. Minzy, in particular, showed off her agility — effortlessly doing a split before gracefully bouncing back up.
The girls also brought four lucky male fans on stage and sat them down in chairs as they danced provocatively around them. It was hilarious, to say the least, as the boys tried their best to look straight ahead instead of eyeing the shimmying performers in front of them.
2NE1 also performed some of their new singles and greatest hits, such as Scream, I’m The Best and a rock and roll version of I Don’t Care. However, they saved the best for last: When it seemed the girls had left the stage, they suddenly reappeared at the back of the stadium and walked along aisles to the stage to say hi to their fans. That up close and personal touch showed just how much range 2NE1 has: They can be tough, edgy performers, but also graceful, soulful singers who are capable of singing to a crowd of thousands as though it were an intimate, private session. If 2NE1 keeps producing shows like this one, they’ll be around for a long, long time.

Oohhh, I love how formal the girls looked for their press con in Singapore! ❤ I love they synchronized their black and white outfits together. ^^ Dara’s white dress and Minzy’s white top, matched with Bom’s black dress and CL’s all-black ensemble! They look very feminine and fashionable, while remaining edgy as well. ^^
More photos after the cut!
The girls are just so so so cute! I really love BTS because I love seeing the girls’ dynamics! CL so cute when she said, “Dara-chan kawaii” and then proceeded to imitate her “Nolza, hey hey nolza!” part! Kekekeke! XD So happy to see the BTS during “rebel schoolgirl” Dara’s part! Woohoo! Bom and her mist are inseparable! How cute are Minzy and CL at the start when Minzy had to bump into CL’s shoulder, kekeke! ❤ Our OT4! ❤

2NE1! This time, there were a lot of people at the airport to welcome our girls. ^^ There were less security this time around, as compared to the last time they went to Singapore. I guess Changi airport didn’t expect so many people to turn up? ^^ There were rumors that Bom arrived earlier than CL, Dara, and Minzy; the fans who waited at the airport said they didn’t see her come out after they waited out some more. ^^
