How 2NE1 K-pop Used Concert LED Screens to Wow Fans Live

2NEI are the OG K-pop girl group, debuting way back in 2009, collecting a whole ton of “firsts” and breaking the stereotypes of K-pop along the way.

After a six-year hiatus and a surprise reunion on the mainstage at Coachella 2022, their long-awaited Welcome Back Tour is set to commemorate the group’s 15th anniversary, and features twenty-seven high-impact shows across Asia.

We were delighted to work with event production maestros DC Zon Entertainment, one of our long-standing partners, with a stellar reputation in the live event industry.

We worked closely to deliver a set of six stunning outdoor LED displays for 2NEI’s sell-out concert on Feb 1 2025 at Kuala Lumpur’s National Hockey Stadium.

The Vision: sound meets spectacle

This was the tour that blackjacks – 2NE1’s fandom – had been waiting for. Expectations were higher than sky-high. To match the group’s legendary status, DC Zon Entertainment was entrusted with designing a visual experience that would be as iconic as 2NE1 itself.

In addition, the group members had been intensely involved in every creative aspect of the concert –  stage design, setlist, choreography, and costuming. We couldn’t let them down.

No pressure, then.

The Challenge: bringing the show to every seat

Creating an emotionally-laden, captivating visual experience between artist and each and every audience member had two big challenges:

• The size of the stadiumWith a capacity of 16,000, the National Hockey Stadium has often been the venue for large-scale events but the group, the organizers, the teams of INFiLED and DC Zon Entertainment were committed to ensuring that every fan could fully experience an immersive performance, regardless of their distance or viewing angle from the stage.

• The nature of the performanceHeavy visuals – not just of the group itself, but meaningful design elements relating to the theme of the tour – were a significant factor in 2NE1’s show. Exceptional color vibrancy and clarity of the stadium LED screens were essential.

The Solution: big visuals, big impact

The stage ultimately featured six of INFiLED’s LED concert screens.

The LED displays we chose and modified for the concert were a selection from our flexible and lightweight AP series, which is built for fast installation, curve flexibility, and superb visuals –  the perfect fit for the dynamic demands of the 2NE1 concert.

The team installed six of the AP series screens, each with a pixel pitch of 3.9mm and a total square meterage of 295:

• One high-definition LED display on each side of the stage, each with an area of 98 sqm.
• Four curved screens above the stage: two 19.5 sqm and two at 30 sqm.

The AP series is crafted specially for the versatility vital for stadium shows that – like 2NE1’s – have ever-changing themes, moods and staging. We adjusted the curve of the suspended LED screens using one of the nine distinct angles (-10° to 10°) to deepen the immersive experience for the fans.

What also enhanced the visuals were:

• Brightness:
  Brightness reaching up to 5000 nits made the LED screens the ideal choice for the outdoor setting of the stadium, where good, reliable visibility in changing light conditions is challenging.
• A high refresh rate:
  An exceptional refresh rate of 7680Hz, paired with a contrast ratio of 10000:1, produced the stunningly vibrant visuals that made sure fans could see and enjoy each intricate detail of their idols’ performance.
• Total reliability:
  Each of the LED displays had built-in thermal reliability through effective heat dissipation, thanks to the larger cooling ribs and a 4.2V energy-saving IC. This design makes sure that the LED chips could function efficiently at optimal temperatures, keeping the visuals stable all the way through the concert.

The Result: Stunning visuals for an unforgettable fan experience

We were thrilled to partner with DC Don Entertainment and the concert organizers to bring blackjacks closer to their idols through a deeply immersive experience.

Working together, we created the visuals that communicated 2NE1’s performance in a way that made the show even more memorable to the fans who had waited so long for the reunion tour. It was a pleasure to be part of such an incredible event.
