In an electrifying highlight of K-pop history, 2NE1 reunited for their much-anticipated concert in Singapore on December 21 and 22, 2024. Fans flooded the venue in droves, making the shows a spectacular success as they celebrated with sold-out crowds during the final leg of 2NE1's Welcome Back world tour.

What made these two concerts particularly remarkable was the exclusive performance of Mariah Carey's festive classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You," which had the audience in a joyous uproar, truly capturing the spirit of the holiday season.

Throughout the concerts, Sandara Park, one of the group's iconic members, expressed heartfelt affection for the city-state. Reminiscing about their past performance at Clarke Quay in 2012—part of a campaign for telecom company Singtel—she cheekily suggested, "We were [models] for a brand called Singtel. So just in case [Singtel wants] to renew the contract, please call me." This witty remark showcased her fantastic rapport with the audience.

The following evening, the excitement reached new heights when Park boldly declared her desire to live in Singapore, leaving fans ecstatic. “It’s really beautiful. I like the place; it’s really clean. I like the food, and of course, I love my Blackjacks [2NE1's fandom] here,” she shared, sparking loud cheers from devoted fans.

During the concerts, she also teased fellow member Minzy about her interest in visiting Singapore. Minzy confirmed her love for the island destination, especially the famous Sentosa. Park eagerly volunteered herself as Minzy's personal tour guide, playfully calling herself “the expert” on Singapore, much to the delight of their fans.

Interestingly, Sandara Park's connection to Singapore has deepened over the past year. Earlier in 2024, she attended the inaugural Waterbomb Singapore music festival in May and had gone back in August to thrill festival-goers with a medley of 2NE1's greatest hits. In December, just weeks before the reunion concerts, she participated in an event for the beauty brand d'Alba at Hotel Fort Canning, effectively solidifying her status as a beloved figure in Singaporean pop culture.

As the dust settles on this unforgettable concert experience, fans are left wondering: Could Sandara's wish to live in Singapore become a reality? Whatever the future holds, it's clear that 2NE1's legacy—and Sandara Park's allure—will continue to shine brightly in the Lion City!
