2NE1 Reunites for Surprise Performance at the 2022 Coachella
Recently on April 16 local time, former 2NE1 member CL lit up the stage when she performed at the 2022 Coachella as part of 88rising's "Head In The Clouds Forever" stage.
However, festival-goers were given an unexpected surprise when CL was joined by her fellow 2NE1 members Park Bom, Sandara Park, and Minzy. They gave a heart-stopping performance of their hit song "I Am The Best."
2NE1's reunion performance marks the group's first time performing as a whole group in seven years, following their official disbandment back in 2016.

In fact, prior to their disbandment, 2NE1 also surprised the world when they performed for the first time together once again during the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). They also performed "I Am The Best."
Since then, many have been hoping for new music from the group, which was ultimately crushed when they announced their disbandment not long after.
Despite their disbandment, the members have often spoken about reuniting and making new music together in the future.
