2NE1 to hold additional show for upcoming concert

Girl group 2NE1 [YG Entertainment]

Korean female idols 2NE1 will hold an additional show for their upcoming concert this August.

YG Entertainment announced in a press release on Wednesday that "NOLZA," the name of 2NE1's concert, originally set for August 27 and 28 at Seoul's Olympic Park Hall, will take place on August 26 as well.

The agency explained that the decision to add another concert date was due to endless requests from fans that were unable to purchase tickets for the show since tickets sold out once they went on sale.

"The girls love the idea of their concert because it was has been their dream since making their debut," an official from YG was quoted as saying. "And, the members are working extremely hard in preparing for their concert and their album since the fans have shown such positive responses."

2NE1, formed of members Park Bom, CL, Sandara Park and Minzy, has been one of the most popular girl groups in Korea since making their debut in May 2009.

The girls will be releasing their second mini-album, featuring their title tracks "Don't Cry," "Lonely," "I am the Best" and new song "Hate you," on July 28.
