Thunder and Mimi's Emotional Journey at 2NE1's 15th Anniversary Concert

On a memorable evening, Thunder and his wife Mimi found themselves immersed in nostalgia at 2NE1's spectacular 15th anniversary concert held on October 7th KST. As fans flocked to celebrate the iconic girl group's legacy, Thunder, who is the younger brother of 2NE1 member Dara, took to social media to share his excitement, posting heartfelt photos and writing, “Welcome back 2NE1.”

The images captured the enchanting moment when the group graced the stage together, radiating joy and nostalgia. Thunder couldn't contain his emotions, expressing, “It was an emotional and amazing concert. I didn’t miss a single song, so it was a lot of fun.” His genuine passion for music and family shone through, highlighting not only his support for his sister but also his love for the K-pop scene.

Mimi, who has been a long-time fan of 2NE1, echoed Thunder's sentiments, saying, “I finally got to attend a concert I always wanted to go to when I was younger. I’m totally a successful fan now!” Her excitement was palpable as she posted photos with the iconic members, reflecting a dream come true.

The concert not only celebrated 2NE1's remarkable career but also ignited discussions about Thunder's own musical journey. As the former member of boy band MBLAQ, which disbanded in 2017 after facing challenges like military conscription, Thunder found himself at the center of renewed interest from fans. Comments such as “So, when is MBLAQ’s comeback?” and “We miss MBLAQ!” flooded social media, exemplifying the enduring legacy of both groups.

Adding to the emotional weight of the event, Thunder and Mimi got married in April with a beautiful ceremony officiated by actor Choi Soo Jong, while Dara and singer Lee Chan Won performed congratulatory songs. The couple’s romance had been blossoming over the years, as they candidly shared during their appearance on KBS2's variety show ‘Second House 2,’ revealing that they dated for four years before tying the knot.

Mimi, a former member of the girl group Gugudan, has made a smooth transition into acting after her group’s disbandment in 2020, showcasing her versatility in the entertainment industry. As both Thunder and Mimi navigate their careers while supporting each other, this memorable night at 2NE1's anniversary concert will remain etched in their hearts as a beautiful chapter in their lives.

Stay tuned as fans continue to hope for more performances from the beloved K-pop groups and possibly a reunion for MBLAQ in the future!
