K-pop enthusiasts were overwhelmed with emotion as they witnessed the original YG family come together in a single frame for the first time in ten years! Fans are now eagerly wishing that Yang Hyun Suk might consider hosting a reunion concert for them.

On October 6th, 2NE1 celebrated the final day of their three-day concert series in Seoul, and it was nothing short of spectacular!

In addition to their nostalgic renditions of their greatest hits and unforgettable dance numbers, the occasion became even more meaningful, allowing BLACKJACKs to see the warm backing of the entire K-pop community for the group.

Notable figures from both the older and newer generations of the music industry were present, including the original YG family members—comprising artists from the second and third generations like SEVEN, Gummy, BIGBANG, WINNER, and iKON.

Even though the OG family has branched out and joined various labels over the years, their bond remained strong as they came together to support 2NE1, leading to the revival of the 2024 version of the YG Family.

For many longtime YG fans, this moment was truly emotional. After the hiatus of BIGBANG and 2NE1, the family had not come together like this again.

Fans voiced their feelings about how these groups played an essential role in shaping the K-pop landscape, and seeing them reunited stirred deep emotions as they reflected on the significance each artist and group had in their lives.

I don’t know if you understand, but these people defined my youth. I grew up alongside them. It feels surreal to witness this now as an adult, after everything we’ve been through. It’s like an old wound is finally healing. There will be scars, but they no longer hurt 🥺 https://t.co/2SmlmOepEa

Additionally, the newer YG family members—including BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER, with the exception of TREASURE—were also spotted at the concert, with Jennie even snapping a photo with the quartet.

Dara mentioned BABYMONSTER during her thank you speech: “Seeing BABYMONSTER reminded me of our early days. We also performed as guests on BIGBANG’s tour. I miss my YG family; I wanted to see you, and I love you.”– #DARA #2NE1 #BABYMONSTER @GlobalBlackjack @YGBABYMONSTER_ pic.twitter.com/Mic1x5294P
