The B.E.S.T. are back and they are set to take the Mall Of Asia Arena stage on November 16 and 17. CL, Dara, Minzy, and Bom, better known together as 2NE1 are back in Manila for their sold-out two-day Welcome Back concert. Prior to this, Sandara actually dished in an interview that she was worried about the ticket sales!
As it turns out, Dara actually didn't need to worry about a thing at all, because the tickets had sold out in a matter of minutes. Ang because of popular demand, they even added a second day. The Blackjacks have been waiting so long for this, Dara unnie!
In an interview with ABS-CBN, Sandara cutely admitted that she could only sleep after the ticket selling was over. She shared, "Sobrang worried ako noon, pero na-sold out ito in [a] few minutes and may day two pa." She also gratefully chimed, "Hindi ko ma-express in words kasi iba talaga para sa akin ang concert na ito."

Excited to be back to perform in the Philippines with her co-members, Dara said, "Babalik kami after 10 years at kasama ko ang 2NE1. Parang dreams come true para sa akin." She added, "Alam niyo naman, [the] Philippines is my second home and 2NE1's second home. So we can't wait to go back to our second home and celebrate with all of you. Mahal ko kayo."
Prior to this, Dara already gave a special shoutout and thanks to the Filipino blackjacks on X (formerly Twitter) and writing, "Kita kits soon!"
