ROUGH TRANSLATION:
The singer from from South Korea girlband, 2NE1, better known as Dara, continues to provoke envy and admiration from her numerous fans in the Philippines, the country where she grew and became a TV star. Dara, in fact, has compelled herself to work towards attracting more men in the Asian showbusiness. First, the alleged love story between her and Philippine actor, Hero Angeles, which the singer justified, was just an advertising campaign, deliberate from network, ABS-CBN. Then the same thing happened with Joseph Bitangcol, another sex symbol in Philippine showbusiness. But that wasn’t enough. Recently, Dara kissed Lee Min Ho, the handsome protagonist of the TV series, Boys Over Flowers, during the filming of their beer commercial for Cass. Sources from the production team report that the kissing scene took a lot of time to film, for which the actors had to kiss for over a hundred times. In the end, it seemed that Dara and Lee both had swollen lips. Blame it on too many hours of hard work.

Comments on: "Photo: Dara in an Italian journal!" (26)
OMG Joseph is not a sex symbol! hahaha.. This is like a porn journal or something.. haha.. look at the words, scadalo, flirt..
WTF?! LOL!
Just to clear it…the soompi poster said that her friend found this journal while she’s in a salon (Italy). Its more of a A GOSSIP JOURNAL definitely NOT A PORN ONE.
porn?? you funny. of course how can it be by looking at that journal š
woah~ belle is on a rol!! LOL!
Thanks for taking the time to translate it for us dear! ^^
this is pretty random actuallty~ LOL!
Like how did they know about her? cool~
and the description may not be too nice for everyone’s taste,
but Dara is actually really HOT!, LOL!
it’s probably more like a boy-magnet as what others pointed out~
and I for one is just glad that she gets noticed In Italy too! ^^
hopefully there’ll be next time~ ^^ but will dig more about her career and life as an artist? ^^
Dara is soo gorgeous in that chosen pic, gotta love the eyes~
the smexy stare that can melt any fanboys heart! LOL!
Okay, so aya-chan and jergen of YGL (aya is Italian and jergen is at Italy. Both of them left messages in Italian too. So cute!) confirmed that this journal is called Novella 2000, found in a hair salon on April 8th. And the person who found this knows KPop, so s/he took a picture. LOL!
@pinkyasumi: Mari-unnie, I’m no queen. LOL! It just so happens I know a bit of Italian. ā¤
i think the reason why Joseph was called sex symbol because when Dara and joseph break up. Joseph has a movie project which have SEX scene, he kiss another guy which is very shocking to DARA…..(correct me if i’am wrong)
Don’t think its shocking to Dara cause there was an interview in the Buzz when she came back in 2008 and the interviewer broke the news to her…she just said… ….pass pass
Here is the interview: Aug. 2008
yeah it’s a tabloid alright
labelling her as a sex symbol can titillate the readership over there inspiite of its exaggerations
it’s ok people. it was not meant for italian priest and nuns anyway
gawd! my jaw dropped of the floor with the’ sex symbol’ description. ridiculous. bwahahaha…
on a positive note, Dara is popular enough that reports take time to write about her. it would have been flattering if it has more truth to it. =)
dara conquering the world ftw! HIHIHIHI! i dont think this article is offensive, theyre juts trying to say that our goddess is on FIRE!!! š and we should be careful coz shes that hot š
*just
Dara being a TV star in the Philippines well actually Dara is the equivalent of Miley Cyrus in the Philippines with several blockbuster movies (including the last one in 2007 Super noypi), Endorsements to wazooo and multi platinum album.
She absolutely dominated the Media in the Philippines…kinda like what she’s doing now in Korea š
both* (gahhh my keyboard is killing me)
Good or bad publicity is still a publicity. I am for one thankful that she is now tabloid material in Italy, I mean who gets to be in a tabloid really? It’s either local popular celebrities or Hollywood A-listers. However, I would prefer that next time if every they feature Dara in Italy it should be something positive because Dara is one h*ll of a beautiful person but inside and out. Dara Fighting!
ever*
About joseph batingcol being a sex symbol? Well he had a Movie where he portrays a man in love with another man and kissed the other ctor on screen. Its pretty normal in the Philippines to have such provocative stuff, Don’t tell me italians dont have movies like that?
I think they are trying to say that Dara is a “boy magnet” which is true, they arent necessariliy saying she is a flirt.
not to mention, its old news already but everything new news are enough to handle =>
but really? sex symbol? LOL
good thing Dara got more publicity/popularity even reached to Italy, hope all for her better good.
thanks for translations!
whooa thanks belle. aka mrs. top aka queen of translations..
wii.. š dara dominating europe.. Italy yey.. š

thanks belle for the translations! wow Dara is making it in italy..wohooo!!!
sandara park is not a flirt…haisstt…even in italian they have anti????
for mew…sandara park is super beautiful inside and outl
I doubt it there will be much fans being jelly about this article/magz.
hello azel02 š
the article is in a tabloid (not so sure) and tabloids in general tend to use exaggerated and crude or unrefined language… much like how it is in the Philippines and even in Hollywood (tons of gossip mags lol) š
let’s just look at it positively in a sense that they chose to write a short piece about Dara. Good or bad, it’s still publicity. And it just means, she’s attracting attention, enough for a journal to actually allot a space for her and it’s in Italy! š
WOW Belle!!! Queen T!
Queen Translator? hehe..
not only korean but also italian? woohoo!!!
i lol’ed at the sex symbol. hahaha..
when did that happen?
lmao!
thanks OhDara!
wonder from which magazine/newspaper was this from and why did they include Dara.
thanks!
i agree….me too i was loling the sex symbol word……i never remembered him being called as such……kekeke
that magazine makes me wonder where they got their sources…tsk tsk…..i also see envy word…i believe it’s more like philippines are proud of her not envy…hehe
its still publicity so it’s good…..
thanks belle for the translations……
I’m not sure.. but I remember him acting as gay.. and it was an independent film…maybe that was the one they’re referring to..
