2NE1

This was my first time to LA... flying all the way from Minnesota! The flight trip was not so great and the hotel my friend and I stayed at was far from Downtown LA. I guess we didn't plan it well. It was hard to figure out how we will get to Downtown LA... My whole LA trip was a disaster because we weren't 25 yrs of age to rent a car! If we did, we would had to pay extra & knowing California, the tax will be more than we can handle for a 3 day stay. So all in all, we had to take buses and taxi..... which was a horrible experience because we didn't know how to!! >___< BUT this was alllll worth it because 2ne1's concert was great and I'm so happy to have been apart of their first US concert!!! The fans were really wild and crazy. We made it funnnnn before the concert and during the concert. BLACKJACKS are the best! :) CL, as expected, had great stage presence. She was yelling at the top of her lungs, like literally, just for the fans to screammmmmmm! (: Everybody's English was great. Dara surprised me the most... The lucky guy who went on stage.... he wanted more than just a peck on the cheeks! Keke :P She was speaking good English. As a fan, I never heard her talk much in English. (: BOM was sexy, as always... and her voice was amazing!!! When she sung her solo songs... I had chills... It was too perfect. She looked beautiful!! Minzy totally made the fans go wild!! Her sexy dancing was daebak! I was surprised WILL I AM should up at the very end. That was so cool! It's great to see him supporting our girls. I can't wait for their English album to come out! This is my second concert in my whole 24 yrs of living... It was worth every penny!! 2NE1 rock!!

So super skewed review here since this was my first concert ever, and my leave dates from Afghanistan just happen to coincided with their tour in LA! First off the convention center was not completely packed, which was so sad, but 2ne1 still rocked the house! They're really flashy/showy with lots of costume changes and props and such (I think at least 4 costume changes). They must have sang every song in the book, because I don't think there are too many albums released by 2ne1 and they sang about every song I know. ZOMG CL is sooooooo random! The whole DJ set rising off the platform, and when she came out with the stripper pole both really threw me off. So funny and cool! But I have to give her props, she worked so hard during the show, absolutely dripping sweat by the end of the event. My hearts out to you CL, such a dedicated amazing singer! OMG I'm so jealous of whoever got the peck on his cheek from Dara!! You win Bro, there is nothing that could have topped that. His expression when Dara finally kissed him was priceless! So jealous/green/envy ㅠㅠ .... but maybe next time! Can't forget Park Bom's amazing singing and Minzy's dancing. All the girls are such talented dancers! Ok I'm not actually entirely sure because I was staring at Dara most of the event (I LoVE U SaNdaRA PARK!!!) But they were phenomenal. And like they should be, honestly K-pop stars now have a reputation of being elite dancers as well as singers, go K-POP! I loved the whole event from the anticipated feeling/ hyped beginning to the smoked filled laser light like show towards the end! I will definitely see them again, maybe in Korea, but if they do another world tour and stop by the west coast then I'll be there. BLACKJACK FTW! ㅋㅋ

I had SO much fun at the 2NE1 Evolution 2012 Concert!! I liked how there was 2NE1 paraphernalia available for purchase; I bought a light stick and backpack! I'm such a HUGE fan of theirs, so the overall experience was GREAT! As for the event being held at the Nokia Theater, I loved how the restrooms weren't so crowded, especially for the ladies (hehe)! Also, I liked how there were places to eat nearby. I seriously wanted to relive the entire experience that same night. It was the BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!

Minus the two hour wait outside prudential center to get in the show was awesome! ! I really enjoyed it. Im a fan now. I took my son who loves this group. I would def go again. Each girl unique with great voices and talent. I was disappointed that there were no vendors...no shirts nor cds for sale at the Venue.

There was a delay due to "technical difficulties", but once the concert started, there was no stopping it. It was ABSOULTELY INCREDIBLE. CL really knows how to win over a crowd. The elaborate stage performances really made this a night to remember for the rest of my life. Will most definitley see them again whenever I can :)

Awesome show!!!! Would love to go see them again! So amazing!!!! Love every moment of it...

There was only the problem of a delay for the concert to start since there was a problem with security and sound stuff, supposedly, but the wait was worth it. All four of them performed like goddesses, including the solo and duo stages.

This concert was amazing!!!! The girls were FIRE!! Only down part were technical issues with the sound quality but that wasn't 2NE1's fault. The crowd really welcomed them giving them energy to feed off from. I'd drop another $300 in a heartbeat. 2NE1 Nolza!!!

Amazing show! So glad I was able to make this concert. They put on a great show and did not disappoint at all! Was beyond perfect!

This concert was amazing!!! :) I love 2ne1.... Blackjack forever!! :)

Bottom line. Everything was amazing. The music was great the stage performance was great and the overall atmosphere was amazing. I highly recommend this concert to anyone who is thinking about going to LA or the ones in Japan. It really was amazing.

The concert started a little late but it was so worth it. They were so energetic and each performance was so awesome i almost lost my voice lol if they came again i would go again! 2NE1!!<3

At first, the waiting was a little annoying, but when the concert started it was nothing but a beautiful, fun, and exciting night. The girls were so kind for apologizing for the technical difficulties. The music was perfect. And the arena was great to be in!

The concert was delayed by like an hour which really irritated me because none of the staff bothered to explain to the crowd waiting outside why they werent letting us in. I soon forgotten about that the moment 2ne1 appeared before my eyes. The stage was not as big as i have pictured. They performed all of my favorite songs and even "i'm very busy" played(though they didnt really perform it on stage). I found absolutely no flaws from the girls' performance(well, i didnt really pay any attention to details 'cause i was flailing with excitement throughout the whole concert xD) Friday 17th will definitely be a night i will never forget.

Though we had to wait for an hour more than planed, it was very enjoyable as 2NE1 made up for it :D They were all awesome and they all spoke in their sexy English ;) (ESPECIALLY DARA!!!) CL DJ-ed and Minzy had her solo dance! It was just AWESOME! They performed almost all their songs! The fans even sang along! If they came again, I would buy the tickets in a heartbeat!

I feel so fortunate to live in an area where so many events take place. I know a lot of fans in the middle of the country weren't able to attend their concert last night. It's definitely not something that I am taking for granted. The concert was supposed to start at 8:00, with the doors opening at 7:00. That...Didn't happen. They didn't even let us inside until 8:30 and they never gave us a reason or an estimated time that we would be allowed in. It was overcast last night (it was supposed to storm) and it was really hot, so that made the entire situation worse. None of that mattered once we were inside and 2NE1's videos were being projected onto screens in the arena while we waited for them to begin. It really set the mood for the rest of the night. It was like being at a club once they started performing. Definitely the most upbeat, fun concert I've ever been to. And they're all flawless and amazing. Bom is adorable, Dara is sweet, Minzy is an amazing dancer, and CL has SO much energy when she performs. I didn't have a favorite before last night, but seeing how much CL loves what she's doing, she's my favorite now. They are all amazingly talented and I'm so grateful that I was able to attend this concert. They did NOT sell merchandise at the show, I was really disappointed because I wanted to buy one of their lightsticks. So if anyone going to the concert in California sees this, just keep that in mind. Again, I felt grateful and honored to be there. They re only stopping in two cities in America on this tour and I feel like it was (but hope it s not) a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was so much fun, the atmosphere was amazing. They are so talented and it s obvious that they put so much work and love into everything that they do. I m really happy that I was there to experience it with so many other people who love and appreciate their music.

Although we went in an hour late, it was well worth it!!! 2NE1 was incredible and I would definitely go again!!!!!

This was my first concert ever and I loved it! They were so energetic and even though we had to wait until 9:30 for the concert to start, 2ne1 apologized and made the concert unforgettable! I absolutely enjoyed my time there and plan on going back to see Big Bang! Though I was a little disappointed by the lack of merchandise for 2ne1. I searched and couldn't find it. Would've loved to have brought home a glowstick!

great concert great production, i had the time of my life. so amazing and the VIP perks were worth the $300. cant wait to see 2NE1 in concert again. they have great energy especially CL, getting us all pumped up. the only reason its not 5 stars is because VIPs were let in 90 mins late for soundcheck and the concert started an hour late.

2NE1 new evolution concert is awsome, I was on cloud nine through the entire concert. If u haven't listened to 2NE1 yet u need to, they are too awsome to not love. Just listening to one of their songs will get you hooked, they are even better live in person as well

The reasons I gave it a 4 was because of the long wait ti get it, and no merchandise was sold. The girls were energetic and full of energy! Had a fun time.

the venue was lazy and uninspired. waited to be seated over 90 minutes but once the show started, CL promised us it would be well worth the wait--and it was! lazy visuals on a cramped stage made some songs look awesome and others look well, bad! haha. watching CL get into the DJ stand for a short intermission was cool! the live audio was terrific. the vip/general admission area was sooooo bald. the stage looked shoddy. I loved how each of the girls looked, especially when they donned their Jeremy Scott collection outfits. Dara is the cutest cookie monster sibling ever! hahaha. all in all the music, performances and act were amazing. didnt regret it one bit! wish somebody told me where to get a cheerstick though...

Great dancing fun. No inamition in between. Started 30 min late

I'm a new fan of 2NE1 and decided to check them out because their music is so catchy and their live concerts looked really good. I'm so glad I went to this concert!!! It felt like I was at a huge night club along with 15,000 screaming fans. It was such an incredible experience and I didn't want it to end!!! :D I'm still on a high from the concert. I never danced so much in my life (I always said this while I'm at concerts, but this time was much different.) I've been to lots of concerts and never have I stayed on my feet for so long dancing and vibing with the other fans. So many people from around the world showed up and I'm so happy about that. 2NE1 has quite a fan base here and it was confirmed when I saw the thousands of fans show up that night!!! 2NE1 are fantastic...they are the REAL DEAL!!! They had the crowd on their feet pretty much the entire night. I've never witnessed anything like this in my life. This wasn't a concert, it was a celebration! K Pop music has officially arrived in America. I've been supporting K Pop artists for the past 3 years and this was my first ever K Pop concert I've ever attended. So many pop concerts are predicable, but not 2NE1's New Evolution Tour. I never knew what was going to happen next and that's what I loved the most about the show! I was trying to take it all in because so much was happening! The girls sang and danced their butts off...you can see how talented and hard working they are! Bring on the next K Pop concert because I'm going! I'm a 2NE1 fan for life!

The show itself was AWESOME! The girls were fantastic, they did numerous costume changes, set changes and had a lot of lights, smoke and confetti!! They made sure they paid a lot of attention to the fans which was awesome!! The worse thing about this concert was the doors were suppose to open at 7 pm and the concert was to start at 8 pm. The doors didn't open until after 9 pm and the concert didn't start until about 9:40 pm and the band didn't bring ANY merchandise to sell at the concert. Buying shirts at the concert is a badge of honor that you wear after the concert. There was NOTHING.. .not even a bracelet to be bought. I hope that they learn from this experience and the show in LA is a lot planned and they bring merchandise with them!

2NE1 couldn't have been any better. Our seats were amazing, the sound and stage setting were amazing. They had an energy that just stayed there through out the entire show. Music is completely universal and can be understood in any language!

Although I wasnt seated in the best place 2ne1 was awesome. it was an amazing experience for my first concert.

This event was awesome.even with.the.delayed start!

Although a late start due to technical difficulties, the concert was great from beginning to end. The ladies shared a lot of their energy with the crowd. I think they were trying to make up for the long wait with their connection to the audience. It was good to see such a diverse group among the fans: age, race, ethnicity, gender. K-pop has brought people together. 2NE1 will go down in history as a pioneering group in K-pop history.

2NE1 is my favorite girl group, however, despite that fact I'm going to give the truth... which is that this concert was seriously INCREDIBLE. There was a delay and the concert didn't begin until about 9:45, but once the girls came out on stage, CL first apologized and then proclaimed that she would "make the concert worth the wait" and indeed they ALL DID! I've never been to a concert that got me as pumped up as 2NE1 did, and I can barely remember ever sitting down! I didn't even take pictures or videos because I was dancing so much! The lovely ladies of 2NE1 are beautiful, vibrant, and energetic on stage, and they were genuinely having a good time along with the crowd! They interacted with us A LOT and kept saying how much they loved us. Their vocals and dance performances were on point the entire way through. Also, the back screen and lighting effects were so cool! This was the best concert ever!

an hour and 20 min without explaing was terrible!!

The best concert experience of my life. I attended KMF, SMTOWN 3 and the MBC google concert and I can say without hyperbole that the 2NE1 concert was a million times better.

Such great night, the girls are realy talented! and Will.I.Am in the ending song was awesome!

2NE1 was amazing! They sound and looked beautiful. Wish they would come back. I drove 5 hours and then flew from Denver just to see them. Absolutely worth it!!!!!!!!! The only downside is that the concert didn't sell the merchandise online.

This concert was the best concert that I have ever been to. I have been to a concert in the Nokia & Staples Center that was not a Kpop concert & the vibe was so different lol. In this concert the fans were soo loud!!! We had soo much fun and the whole show was great! I really liked how the show started on time and didn t have to wait. We enjoyed that music videos were played while waiting for the show to start because it made the fans get more excited to see them. Before the show started, we were lucky to see Jeremy Scott walked right beside us and told him HI lol. This was the first Kpop concert that I have been to and it was just great! I m soo happy for these girls that the show was sold out! 2NE1 were so pretty in person and they had so much energy throughout the whole show. They sing really great live and there was never a dull moment. It felt like a huge party and I could tell that 2NE1 were having fun too. It was really cool that WILL.I.AM & APL.DE.AP were the special guest at the end of the concert and everyone went crazy!! I loved it when CL was speaking in English and she looked like she was having so much fun during her solo DJ. Minzy was just getting down during her dance solo and she is truly the best dancer. Bom is soo pretty and loved her solo with her strong voice & she was soo cute during the encore when WILL.I.AM & APL.DE.AP came out on the stage, she was getting down! Everyone was going crazy when Dara was gonna start her solo and could hear guys screaming pick me lol. I will never forget this concert and it was just a really great experience. I m soo happy to see 2NE1 live and I hope next time they can do a fan meeting, such as a signing. Thanks to 2NE1 and YG for having this world tour and I hope 2NE1 will come to L.A. again because I will definitely be there!!!!

2NE1 completely surpassed all my expectations! You could tell they were having such a blast performing and the feeling was contagious throughout the entire venue! I can't wait for them to perform in the States again!

Overall Thoughts 2NE1 was a cool beans awesome show. Simply unforgettable. CL, Park Bom, Darah, and Minzy were fantastic the whole night and I was impressed how they can both sing and dance live. Definitely had fun watching with my friends. Fav Moment Like CL said on FB chat interview, hard to pick just one fav highlight. From elaborate costume to the talented band and dancers and 2NE1 performing, the whole event rocked. Wishes -Wished 2NE1 had an acoustic set for song of their songs, like in the videos I saw on YouTube. This also shows the range and vocal talents of all the members. Not sure in the concert if they also played "Be Mine" from that Intel "Make Thumb Noise" project? -No more kiss cam, embarrassing to the two folks who are just friends and don't like each other that way or if they're siblings eek, lol. Also, I think even couples feel like it's more forcing rather than fun & exciting. -Some of the sound quality on their mics faded at the end of the concert. -Loge area seating was nice, but I think anywhere had a decent view. Seats don't rise well, thus hard to see in front of you, especially in the person was taller than you. Suggestions -Instead of the kiss cam, my friends and other audience members I heard suggested an interactive fan portion/segment with 2NE1 would be better. I.E. a fan dancing for a few seconds with them or singing a line out in the crowd, or if there was a contest winner of some sort. -Maybe have subtitles on the big screen for the fans to sing along, and have "Get Louder" or something like that on the screen to pump up the crowd along with 2NE1.

Great concert! Sang all my favorite songs, including new ones 'I love you' & 'Scream'. Dancers were also great!

2NE1 WAS AMAZING... GREAT.. I HAVE BEEN A FAN SINCE THEIR DEBUT LAST MAY OF 2009 AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE SEEN THEM. THE CONCERT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THEY WERE REALLY GREAT. TALENTED. I HAD A LOT OF FUN! I WILL CONTINUE SUPPORTING THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DESERVING OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING TO THEM. THE GIRLS ARE GORGEOUS AND VERY STYLISH! AND GOD, THE LIVE MUSIC IS JUST BETTER THAN THE CD VERSION. IDK. THEY WERE THAT GOOD. IT WAS A REALLY UNFORGETTABLE AND WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. I LOVE YOU, 2NE1.

Best concert I've ever been to. Amazing music. Amazing performances and the group just knows how to put on a show. The live music was a big plus.

This being my first time attending a Kpop concert in my life, I would have to say that the experience was so great and fun that I will definitely go back for more in the future. Nokia Theatre did not disappoint in bringing out the best equipment to support such high-octane party that is a 2ne1 concert. The girls of 2ne1 seemed at home performing to their active audience and it was so nice to see everyone having a fun time dancing to their songs and responding to their performances. I just hope that Nokia Theatre will consider having a branch in Northern California for us who reside there. Bring those great concerts up north!!

Great concert. Lots of energy. The fans were loud in their support. Very exciting. They played all their best songs.

2NE1 was amazing so full of energy. I like the interaction they had with the fans. It was a really fun concert and I hope they come to LA again! The members performances were just amazing that I lost my voice.

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT......2ne1 is the BEST!!!!! This was the first concert I ever went to and everything went great (besides the waiting).

I absolutely love Kpop. I'm not Korean and have no idea what they are saying but when I did the research their lyrics are powerful! 2ne1 is an amazing diverse group of women who brings amazing music and I'm sooo happy I got the honor to be at their first world tour. I always wanted a Kpop group to come to America because we are all about change and the new thing and they brought it all and tore the house down. I'm super happy they came and I hope they come again in the future soon :) <3

There was never a dull moment. The girls brought so much energy and rocked the house!

the concert is the best ever. I havent watched the awesome concert like this concert before. Their perfomances were full of energic, excited, hyper.. and the best. I hope 2ne1 will come back USA for another concert next year. we had so much fun and craziness during the concert. CL's dj was so cool, Dara's kiss performance was wild and sexy, Bom's solo was the best as always, and Minzy's dance was amazing. I want to go back that time. Thank You 2ne1 and YG family so much for this NE concert. WE LOVE 2NE1

The concert was great and fantastic. It was so much fun to meet fellow blackjack fans. 2ne1 girls were great performers and even though of language barriers they still showed the audience what they came for, entertainment. The setting of the stage was nice. Clothes are awesome and the band was amazing. Effects were perfect

Best concert I've ever been too :) each member had their own individual talents to show off and I loved every second of it...freakin awesome! 2NE1 hwaiting!

Despite a late start the concert was absolutely worth it! 2ne1 had great energy, preformed for a long time and made it a memorable night. I will go see them as soon as they're back on this coast!

No complains of the concert of the amazing talented 2ne1 girls! Lighting and effects were awesome! YG sure knows how to pump people up! The will.I.am surprise was cool and just everything and everyone in it was incredible! I still couldn't believe my sister and I were able to see them live!! We were still in shock after it was all over lol XD The place in which it was hosted was clean and their staff was helpful. Everything went smooth but the only thing I did not like was when the concert was over, the staff was sort of rushing people to leave, hence the 4 stars.

Great stage presence, dancers were amazing, and the girls of 2ne1 really gave a strong performance. The audience was also so energetic & interactive!

You know there has been a lot of Kpop events this past year but THIS ONE IS THE MOST REMARKABLE! Besides BIG BANG in the FALL! but these four ladies know how to party and make it fun. Their music alone was a killer but to see them LIVE and entertaining us, it was priceless. WE can tell they put a lot of energy into their work and the show end up AMAZING. I would have liked them to talk more with us, even if they couldn't speak English well because I think that interaction would connect with us even more. Us aduience would have been even more involved. I want them to talk with us. They are so important to us, that's why we are there. :) I hope success with every show they have!!!

4 days after the concert & I'm [unquestionably] still in daze -- that says a whole lot! First of all, I regret not investing more for this concert, hence, my not so fab seat section. The concert was way way way more amazing and beyond my expectations. The intro video brought my excitement to the edge, that when the entrance came on, my pent up fangirl feels just came crashing down [tears and all]. From that point on, I just partied like there's no tomorrow (literally). I love the crowd, everyone were so into it... I LOVE EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT! Every stage was superb and worth all the hype!

The doors opened on time (unlike New Jersey) and the concert started 5 minutes late. But that was okay because the sound and lights were so amazing and everyone had a good time dancing, grooving, singing along to 2ne1.

This was a present to my daughter for her sweet 16 we flew from austin tx to LA to see this concert. I wasnt gonna go in at firts but im glad I did. It was awesome.

THIS CONCERT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE I HAD SOOO MUCH FUN, I CAN'T WAIT TILL THEY COME BACK TO LA I BOUGHT ALRIGHT SEAT BUT NEXT TIME I'M GONNA SPEND MORE AND GET EVEN CLOSER SEATS EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW WAS GREAT AND I CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

The concert was a solid 2 hour performance and absolutely amazing! There stage production was amazingly thought out and it was a very fun experience. I didn't expect to have this much fun and was blown away the whole night. Wishing it was Friday night again so I can relive the experience.

This was my first concert at the Nokia Theatre. Also, my first Kpop concert. It was so fun. Everyone screaming and positive energy everywhere. I had a blast. The theatre was nice and 2ne1 was great! Definitely would go again!

2NE1's charisma and energy on stage was amazing, and I couldn't believe how great their vocals were live. I really hope they come back to the US again! My only regret is not being able to buy better seats

The concert in LA was unforgettable. I loved the scene changes, the music, the costumes, the dancing, the member's solo performances, and the CROWD too! There was a diverse crowd, and it was awesome to see how 2NE1's music have reached a diverse crowd. Many people (almost the entire crowd) had the official 2NE1 light sticks and it was so awesome to see a sea of white (light sticks). I would see 2NE1 again if they came down to LA! I want to relive my moments at the concert over and over.

This is the first concert of 2NE1 in the US and I'm very happy! The show starts about an hour late and a lot of problems occurred like the mic sounds e.g. CL during In The Club. The girls performed live but looks weak at some parts e.g. Bom's live, maybe because of jet lag. Minzy, Sandara and CL are great! The band and the dancers are flawless! Overall, it was a great concert! So colorful, full of power and random.

Went to LA to fully enjoy the concert. The members are all great in live performance. They were more powerful and well rested compared in New Jersey. The stage is beautiful and the dancers are synchronized and the band is awesome. The audience have beautiful light sticks and they were waving those light sticks throughout the concert. I was surprised because of the appearances of Jeremy Scott, Will.I.Am and Apl.de.ap!

I have kept up with 2ne1 since their debut and never did I imagine being able to attend their concert in the United States. I live miles away from Los Angeles but i will never let distance come between an opportunity to watch these strong, energetic, talented women perform. IT WAS AMAZING. more than amazing and more than words can explain the overwhelming feeling i had when i was singing and jumping to their songs. From their wardrobe, hair and make up, dancers, stage, prop, the band, lights, their nails, the special guest, the shout outs, the light sticks, the bass, the mics, everything was perfect. music really is universal.

I have never been to a concert before where my excitement spilled from every second since the moment they appeared live until the end when they were finished. Their performance was so powerful and filled with so much energy that it gave me the extra energy to scream my head off and party like I've never even lived before along with them. I had a great view with a nice distance from where my seats were of them and just being able to experience their concert live was really just indescribable because it was really the best concert I've ever been to and I've been to plenty of big artist concerts. This is really over the top and I would definitely go again and fight for VIP seats just to be there and live the moment of an extremely talented and gorgeous group perform great music and give their charisma for their fans from all over the world many more times.

OMG!!! I can't believe I got the chance to actually see 2NE1 live in concert in there Global Tour. The girls were fantastic. It was non-stop partying and there stage show was awesome. There band, Hi-Tech, Crazy, and 2NE1, CL, Dara, Bom, and Minzy. Can't wait to see them in concert again in the near future.

IT WAS FLAWLESS PERFECTION!!!!! TO BE ABLE TO SEE 2NE1 IN CONCERT IN THE US WAS BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE 2NE1!!!! I HOPE THEY COME BACK TO LA AGAIN.

I got into 2NE1 about 1 1/2 years ago watching 2NE1 TV. To see them grow as artists and finally experience them live is tremendous. CL, Dara, Minzy and Bom give their all in concert....so much energy and they truly love their Blackjacks!! Dara's arrangement of Kiss was great. I was thrilled they put Follow Me in the set. Minzy's dancing was on fire! Bom sang her heart out. Bottom line is 2NE1 rocks! The live band was a great addition (and rocked!) and proves these girls are true talents who are more than just singing to a track. Love 2NE1!! And they showed their love by giving a top notch performance!!

2ne1 are professional performers no doubt! I still can't get the songs played from the night out of my head even though it has been almost week since the memorable night. Absolutely worth every penny!

2NE1 is an awesome South Korean girl group! The fact that they were willing and able to make their first U.S. concert appearance was amazing. What an epic show! Although it started late, they didn't fail to impress the audience!

Even though there were some technical difficulties, it was the best show ever!!!!! The waiting was worth the wait!!!!! My sister and I had the best time and really hope 2NE1 comes back. I kept hearing people around us saying they were having a blast!!! 2NE1 knows who to deliver a outstanding performance!!!!!

The evening started out a bit rocky as the venue had technical difficulties and the concert was delayed over an hour, but once we finally got in and the show started, it was well worth the wait. The girls are just as adorable and full of energy in person as they are in their music videos, and their vocal performances really shone on the slow songs - didn't know they had chops like that. CL showed off her DJ skills in an unexpected mixing set that took the crowd by surprise, and Minzy wowed us with a dance number, doing a split that brought intakes of breath around the arena. Dara and Bom were gorgeous as always, and on the whole, the show was filled with fun and excitement.

There were glitches as is expected from a live show, but none of them made the show less enjoyable. 2NE1 rocked their first concert over in this side of the world. If you ever have the chance to see them, take it!

They delievered one of the better shows I have seen in a while <3 those girls!

2NE1 came to Los Angeles on their first world tour and left a lasting impression for their American fans. They are energetic and dynamic performers that know how to entertain the crowds. Most people in the orchestra seats stood throughout the entire concert, which was like a party from start to finish.

I got such great seats, for a very cheap price! I loved it! This was the best night ever! I was so glad to see all of LA's blackjacks! :D

The best concert...entertainment I've been to my whole life! CL and Dara brought it on..Bom seemed a bit lost. The cheerleader outfits were a bit misplaced imo....who's idea was that?? Show was very on time...I had to run in with my drinks when I heard the first song play! 2 hours left like half an hour...

These ladies really killed it on stage. 100% energy level from beginning to end. CL, Bom, Minzy, and Dara did a fabulous performance, It was so worth waiting for and traveling to. Thanks for an unforgettable night!

Definitely the best concert I've been to yet! This is the first concert where I've stood up during the whole duration of the concert! However, it was not only me but everyone around me as well. Their music is great and they know how to keep us fans entertained. Even for those who are not fans yet, just listening to their music will get you hooked :) Thank you 2ne1 for coming over for a concert! I will definitely come to your next one and see you again! -King

Let me start out by saying that I am a HUGE fan of 2NE1 and when I heard they were going to be performing in the US, I knew i HAD to be there, no matter what. Luckily, the lovely ladies had their first ever US concert right next door in Newark, NJ and I only had to take a short ride on the PATH Train to get there! Lucky Me! Now, the concert itself was amazing. I literally had tears in my eyes when they hit the stage because I was so overwhelmed and excited to actually be seeing Bom, Minzy, Dara and CL in the flesh, right before my eyes. The stage was cool, the lighting was great and the video screen projections complimented each song well. Speaking of each song, they literally sang every song from both mini albums and the full length album except for 2... and 1 of those two songs (I'm Busy) was played (but not performed live) during a video interlude which gave a peek of the girls running backstage and changing outfits for the next song. The girls were everything I could have expected and more... CL's stage presence is other worldly, Minzy's dancing is spectacular, Dara simply fascinates me and Bom's voice is spectacular. So why am I giving this concert, which truly felt like a once in a lifetime special event, only 4 out of 5 stars???? Well, there were quite a few "issues", technical or otherwise with the Newark show. There are as follows: As many have stated, we had to wait outside nearly 2 hours past the posted start time of the concert for whatever technical reason that was going on inside. This became very frustrating, very quickly, as nobody (not even security) had any specific answers (or even non specific) as to why we were kept standing outside for what felt like forever. Now, during the concert, CL did apologize and thank us for being so patient which was very sweet, in my opinion, which showed that they cared about their fans. Second, after all of the waiting, there were still some technical flubs during the show. Bom couldn't quickly pull the cover off of her solo set piece to reveal the dancers in the drum, leaving her standing on the side of the stage tugging at this giant sheet making her look kind of foolish. I've seen the same thing happen in YouTube videos at the Korea shows and as i chuckled, wondered why they haven't found an easier way to get that cover off or at least practiced the correct way to easily pull the cover off. Next, one of the "bubble boy's" bubbles didn't inflate during "Pretty Boy", so we had one Bubble Boy walking around the catwalk in his bubble and one standing in the back of the stage looking stupid with a heap of deflated plastic over and around him! Lastly, as far as technical difficulties, non of the large blow up pieces inflated at the end of the concert. so there was no giant tube of lipstick, diamond ring, pearl necklace, etc and the stage hands just pulled the screens back together and all of the screens displayed a gold shimmering image. My final, HUGE, complaint for the 2NE1 concert in Newark, NJ, was that there was absolutely NO MERCHANDISE for sale!!! Were they serious?!?!? I had brought an extra $250 with me SPECIFICALLY for merchandise! I wanted my official 2NE1 light stick (which the VIP ticket holders did receive as part of their ticket package) and a few t-shirts and whatever other merchandise they had for sale, but no, there was absolutely NO merchandise for sale. None. Zip. Zilch. Zero. NOTHING. That really disappointed me! So, the 2 hours of waiting, technical difficulties during the show and the fact that there was NO merchandise for sale has forced me to give what was indeed a spectacular concert only 4 out of 5 stars.

Fantastic show! 2NE1 had so much energy, and you could tell they truly enjoyed performing. I don't think anyone was able to stand still. All four of the girls have amazing voices and are talented performers! it made me so excited to see them, because it's so rare to see kpop artists in the United States, still (especially YG artists)! I just wish that security had told us the concert was delayed due to technical reasons. Instead, they made us wait outside for an extra two hours from the proper door time, and rather than offering explanation, they yelled at us and at times mocked us. I'm still glad, though, because as CL said, they made it worth the wait! It was one of the best shows I've seen. :)

Love it, was the best show I've been too but worth the wait! 2ne1 never got boring always moving and grooving to their songs! Love it, LIKE A BIG AFTER PARTY LOVE IT!! Hope they come back, Blackjacks for life!!

This was my first ever concert and I have to say it set the standards for what a fun concert should be. Now when I go to other concerts, I'll always compare it to the 2NE1 one. The girls were very interactive with their fans and I LOVED it. They're also very beautiful and even more so in person now that I've seen them! The dancing was amazing, the singing was impeccable, the everything was brilliant. Having just seen them made the 2 hour wait to get into the area worth it. I had a blast and made some new friends that will always hold a place in my heart and fellow blackjacks! I hope 2NE1 comes back soon to the east coast, most preferably Madison Square Garden but I'm not asking for much. This concert was one of the best days of my life!

2ne1 did an amazing job keeping the crowd energized. I did not want to sit down at all. I did the 2ne1 dances with them from my area. I hoped to hear more of their songs like "lollipop" or " be mine." The costumes were good, bad, and crazy. I wished for more audience interaction variations but they are still developing. I would go again! Hopefully they sell better 2ne1 goodies! Not just recycled VIP bags, posters, mesh shirts, and light sticks. GIVE US MORE YG 2ne1 PRODUCTS!

I had gotten these tickets for my sister as a graduation gift. (since she absolutely loves 2NE1) only problem was that we live in south Texas and therefore I was "force" to accompany her. Too be honest, I wasn't enthused with the idea of having to go to a concert of a group that I knew very little about and to add to my discomfort, the language barrier. You could feel the adrenaline rush among the fans even while waiting outside the Nokia Theater. When the doors opened the atmosphere changed and you could feel you were walking into something magical. Being the first concert for 2NE1 in the states (or second if you want to get technical) I felt as though we were all going to make history and started feeling those goosebumps as I took my seat. I felt special! Ahh overall it was a truly amazing experience, I sincerely enjoyed myself and my only regret was 1.not buying the tickets sooner so we could have gotten a closer spot, and 2. not dedicating my time in learning about the group (songs, dance moves, etc...) But I LOVE them. Now I listen to the ladies when I drive to work, when I work-out, or even when I'm at home. Due to them, I have also started learning Korean, hopefully I can learn the language and I look forward to the next time that 2NE1 comes to perform to the U.S. because we will be waiting. Except, this time around I will be able to call myself a true Blackjack fan!!!

No words can fully express the wonderful experience that I had at this concert! Thank you 2NE1! Ya'll are the BEST!

When i heard that they were going to have a concert, i felt sooooooooooo excited about that. And the concert wasn't disappointed me. It was too great to believe!!!!!!! Just like a crazy music festival!!!! Fighting 2NE1!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen their performances online, and they always seem to be fantastic live. Watching them personally live for the first time, they definitely didn't disappoint. Only real drawback was that VIP wasn't all I thought it would be. I'm really short, and standing next to the stage, I could barely see anything. That and the concert started about an hour late. Minor details though. The girls were fantastic live and I would definitely pay to see them again, just maybe not VIP (for the sake of being able to see the whole stage. ^_^)

As the saying goes "it was worth the wait". Without taking account the wait ,before we even were let in the venue, the concert overall was amazing. Waiting by the entrance door to the seats we were all pumped up hearing the background music and singing along to whatever words we could. Once the doors swung open we took our seats and watched the videos they had playing on the curtain that hid our fine 2ne1 girls. The crowd went wild during Psy's "Gangnam Style" mv some even finding themselves (even me) dancing and singing along, then the teaser to Big Bang's upcoming concert which made the crowd go wild even more. Then the lights went dim and out came the opening video.....then the curtain falls and reveals our lovely 2NE1. The moment the first song came up the party started, for 2 hours it was a non-stop party jam. It was an unforgettable night for sure. Blackjack for life!

My husband surprised me with tickets to go see 2ne1 live at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. on their first world tour and first time to L.A. I love watching all their music videos, but they were even better in person. Each and every girl brought the fire and had amazing energy. The costumes were great, back up dancers were on point, the setlist, and graphics were put together with lots of thought and care. They kept the energy up the entire concert and I was on my feet the whole time. My husband isn't a fan of k-pop and he loved the concert. That tells you something. Will.i.am even came out for a song at the end. I absolutely loved the concert and would recommend it.

It was the most fun and engaging concert I have ever attended. It was filled with energy. I jumped and sang along to every song. It was a once in a lifetime concert and I hope they come back so I can attend again.

The concert was incredible. The girls were awesome and the crowd was intense. Whether or not you are a blackjack or just a casual fan like myself, I highly recommend going to see 2NE1 live if you have the chance, it was such a blast.

Honestly ive been to a few concerts, but nothing compared to a k-pop concert. Ive been a HUGE fan of 2NE1...The energy, stage set up/lights,colors = amazing!. 2NE1 was awesome... They put on a really good concert. Sad not knowing if they will come back to the US... but im looking forward for future concerts and albums if they decide to come back <3 blackjack!

Love it...the girls of 2ne1 killed it....Can't wait to see them again...

the whole environment was incredible, the crowd and the stage was perfect.. the jumpers at the end with the ring and the lipstick were soo cute..

The girls rocked! I can only begin to imagine how hard it is to carry an entire show by yourself without an opener, but 2ne1 managed! The show was filled with bright colors and big movement. and always kept the crowd anticipating the next move. They opened with their biggest hit, which I thought was odd, but it got the audience out of their seats and moving. It was a barrage of hit after hit and a surprising amount of songs off their first mini album. Even the ballads were worth standing and singing along to! I was so excited to see them and I'm glad they exceeded every expectation. There were some snags here and there, but over all it was a great show!

The concert was like a dream. They played all their hits and moved non-stop. CL and Minzy were so awesome and Dara and Bom were so adorable! The crowd was on their feet and jumping up and down for the whole concert. We sat next to a white guy who looked like a roadie for White Snake and he was Minzy's number 1 fan. All the Black Jacks were super cool and great fans! Oh and by the way Will I Am and APL stopped by for the encore!!

2NE1 was AMAZING! Definitely one of the best concerts of my life!!!

I'm a college student from eastern New Mexico, and my friend and I drove 12 hours both ways just to see 2NE1 in concert, and they did NOT disappoint despite my incredibly high expectations. They went above and beyond, and every time I thought "maybe its over" they would come back with more. I was thoroughly exhausted by the end, but it was so so worth everything. Ive never been to a concert I've actually wanted to go to, and now that I've seen 2NE1 live I doubt any other one I see from here on will even compare.

My first Kpop concert and I was not disappointed. Everything was great. I wish my seats were a little better as most of the time I was blocked by the people in front. The show started a few minutes late. The doors weren't opened until 7, even though the advertised tickets said 6. But, other than that, best concert I've been to.
