2NE1 pushes back Thailand concert

2NE1 [YG Entertainment]

Girl group 2NE1's upcoming concert in Thailand has been pushed back due to the recent flooding in the country, according to their agency YG Entertainment on Friday.

The concert titled "NOLZA in BANGKOK," which was going to be their first in Thailand, was originally set to take place at the Impact Hall in Bangkok on October 29 but has been delayed to a date they have yet to set, a YG official explained.

The flooding has been the country's worst in half a century and has killed 373 people since mid-July while disrupting the lives of nearly 2.5 million. Residents have started to flee Bangkok as floodwater is threatening to burst through dikes protecting the capital.

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

The girls have been focusing on their singing activities in Japan and are set to release their first Japanese single in the country on November 16.
