After I received an invitation to [perform at] Coachella, I really wanted to invite the members too because I wanted to see us reunite on our terms before it's too late.
I wanted to relay my gratitude to everyone who has been giving support and love to 2NE1 for the past 13 years through this stage performance.
For that very reason, today was the most important and meaningful day for me.
I hope you could relive the past emotions that you felt through us, thanks to this moment today.
I am once again grateful for the members who dazzled today's performance and everyone who worked together to make this come true.
I will keep running until the day we can perform for an entire hour on this stage."
