If the ongoing negotiation goes as planned, according to rising Philippine hip-hop artist Young JV, a proposed Manila concert for top Korean girl group 2ne1 will be held in the “Big Dome” Araneta Coliseum in March next year.
Young JV said in an interview that D-Mac, his former schoolmate, contacted him on the phone for his possible participation as a headliner for the proposed 2ne1 concert. D-Mac, a local Philippine concert scene promoter is currently in talks with YG Entertainment, 2ne1’s management company. Also according to Young JV, other concert promoters are also working to bring in Rain, the Wonder Girls, and other top Korean pop stars to the Philippines for a possible concert in the future.
Young JV expressed his excitement for the promising opportunity to front act for 2ne1. The hip-hop artist said that he hopes that the planned 2ne1 concert in March pushes through ’cause the possible exposure from the show will be a big boost to my young career’, also citing that 2ne1 is currently one of the top stars in the Asian music scene today.
2ne1 also has a huge following in the Philippines thanks to its member, Sandara Park (DARA), a former ABS-CBN Star Magic talent who released an album in 2004 which became a Philippine hit due to its carrier single “In or Out”.
