Twitter: Dara and Super Junior’s Donghae Follow Each Other on Twitter~!
Last night, Dara went and followed Super Junior’s Donghae~!
And this morning, he followed back! Woot, woot!
I am just happy that Dara is extending her wings and following people outside of YG Family. ^.^ Of course, it’s awesome that we know that she is close with her YG Family members, but I am also glad that she’s following people from SM. Donghae is the second idol from SM that she followed after SHINee’s Onew. ^^

Goodies: TVXQ and Super Junior Watching 2NE1′s Performance at SBS Gayo Daejun (Fancams)
Battling with myself if I should post this, but in the end decided to post. Keke! ^^ The guys looks so cute enjoying 2NE1′s performance. Yunho seems to know the lyrics very well as he was singing along to the girls. Even clapping his hands to the rhythm. ^^
Super Junior on the other hand seems to be very focused in the performance. Siwon was like a CEO monitoring his artists. Kekeke~ And Eunhyuk seems to be having fun too! Look at them whispering to each other, while watching the girls, like a bunch of high school boys. Kekeke~ ^^
Article: Xin MSN Lists Down Their Top 10 Favourite Korean Variety-Dols – Dara at Number 8!
Being a Korean idol is difficult, but being part of a Korean idol group is even harder.
Korean idol groups can no longer be contented with just performing on stage. There’s a rising trend with a need for them to branch out in other areas, not only to make a name for their group, but also to let the audience get to know them individually — especially for those in big groups like Super Junior and ZE:A.
In recent years, Koreans coined the word ‘variety-dol’ to describe idols well-received on variety programmes because of their personalities, silver tongues or comedic timing.
The first few idols to be crowned ‘variety-dols’ were probably the members of legendary group Shinhwa, who dominated old-time variety shows such as X-Man where they showed TV audiences another side of themselves. Beast’s Yoseob was even quoted as saying, ‘Shinhwa members are variety-dols’ ‘textbooks’.’
Variety Programmes: 2NE1 TV, Strong Heart
Success rate: ★★★
Girl group 2NE1 is a rare sight on variety programmes, so when Dara and Bom first went onto talk show Strong Heart, fans were in for a treat.
Dara was pretty nervous when she was sharing her story then, but her confidence quickly grew as time went by. She even admitted that she had taken variety classes from senior Seungri (Big Bang) to prepare herself the night before.
The 28-year-old then told a funny story of how Taeyang (Big Bang) grabbed her neck and twirled her on the ground with a straight face and even added her own sound effects, causing the entire studio of guest stars to cackle along.
On 2NE1‘s own reality TV 2NE1 TV, Dara may be the group’s ‘visual’, but she sure didn’t mind showing her goofy side. With her years of experience in showbiz (Dara was previously a star when she lived in the Philippines), we say, give the girl more chances on variety programmes, she will do a fine job!

“The Hottest K-Pop Songs! (Videos)”
K-pop is super hot!
If you haven’t seen a K-pop music video yet, you haven’t lived! K-pop, short for Korean pop, is a music genre that consists of electronic, hip-hop, and dance from South Korea. The music videos are very colorful and pretty bizarre for most American viewers. The music has a catchy beat, unique scenery, and even though we don’t know what they’re saying, it just seems fun!
Here are our Top 5 favorite K-pop songs. Some new, some old, but it’s all K-pop! Check out the videos below and tell us what you think. Are you a K-pop fan?
PSY (featuring HYUNA) – “Oppa You’re My Style” (For the record, I sincerely hope he means “Gangnam Style”)
Girls’ Generation – “Gee”
Super Junior – “Mr. Simple”
Big Bang – “Monster”
2NE1 – “I Am The Best”
