K-pop idols 2NE1 will hold an additional show for their upcoming concert tour in Japan this September, according to their agency YG Entertainment on Tuesday.

YG announced in a press release that 2NE1's first concert tour in Japan "NOLZA in Japan," which was originally scheduled for five shows starting at the Yokohama Arena on September 19 will take place again the following day as well.

The concert tour will then continue on to the World Memorial Hall in Kobe on September 24 and 25 and wrap up at the Makuhari Messe in Tokyo on October 1 and 2.

The press release stated that the decision for an additional show in Yokohama was made since over 100,000 people attempted to purchase tickets for 2NE1's show after sales began over the weekend.

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 begin promoting the new title track "UGLY" from their second mini-album, featuring their title tracks "Don't Cry," "Lonely," "I am the Best" and "Hate you," starting July 28.
