“You get a world tour, and you get a world tour, and you get a world tour!” This is likely the kind of discussion that took place at YG Entertainment’s headquarters when finalizing the 2024 and 2025 calendars.
As part of the multinational record label’s revival chapter, women truly do rule the world! The South Korea-based entertainment agency, though notorious among fans for the perceived negligence of its artists, is turning the tide with its latest announcement, which might just end up as a page for the history books.
On July 22 at midnight (KST), the K-pop agency released a special announcement video. In it, company founder Yang Hyun Suk laid out a planned chart for upcoming YG artist events.
YG’s plans for 2025 revealed: 2NE1, BLACKPINK, BABYMONSTER and more on the calendar
The video officially confirms previous strong rumors of the label’s “first successful girl group,” 2NE1, coming back to celebrate their 15th debut anniversary. The legendary band is coming back together to embark on a global tour that will sweep the world, starting in Seoul in October 2024. The 2NE1 members will head to Osaka in late November and Tokyo in December, continuing their show-stopping takeover of the music industry until 2025.

While many K-pop fans who grew up with the iconic girl group’s music will be able to relive their sweet memories of the past through this renaissance, there’s also plenty in store for ardent followers of the agency’s other groups, for whom 2NE1 paved the way.
Despite taking separate paths to pursue their solo adventures, the members of BLACKPINK never “shut down” their joint dreams. Another much-awaited announcement about a beloved third-generation K-pop artist finally gave BLINKs a much-needed dose of serotonin on Monday.
The Blackpink girls are also officially reuniting for a group comeback and a new world, both set to launch in 2025.
The fireworks at YG did not stop there. New girl group BABYMONSTER is also expected to continue their concerts, and the members will embark on their world tour next year. Boy group TREASURE will also follow suit on the same page of announcements.
WINNER fans also have a lot to celebrate, as Song Min Ho and Kang Seung Yoon will be discharged from the military next year and are expected to return to their artistic roots for their new projects.

In addition to sounding the alarm for the return and success of existing musical talents at YG headquarters, the agency’s founder also discussed the birth of the “next monster,” and hinted at the possibility of a new debut.
Despite fans’ love-hate relationship with the company, people’s reactions to this sudden shocking update on social media were clearly shocking to them. As each fan community receives their share of the good news, they cannot ignore that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will finally give space for three girl groups to be active together under the YG banner.
They are already looking forward to the “Legendary YG Family Concert”. But while we recover from the joyous explosions that made up today’s day, let’s put a pin on it.
