On the 16th, YG Entertainment announced that the group 2NE1 will release a limited edition LP that captures the essence of their musical journey in an analog format to commemorate their 15th anniversary since debut.
The 2NE1 15th ANNIVERSARY BEST LP includes representative tracks starting with their debut song 'Fire', followed by 'I Don’t Care', 'Can’t Nobody', 'Go Away', 'Apo (Slow)', 'I Am the Best', 'UGLY', 'Lonely', 'I Miss You', and more. The final track features the actual live audio from their recently concluded concert in Seoul, 'Come Back Home (Concert Live Ver.)', which is expected to evoke the overwhelming emotions of that moment.
