2NE1‘s Sandara Park expresses the sadness that she had received from Yoo Heeyeol.
Sandara Park makes an appearance on KBS2TV Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook to be broadcasted on the 10th. When asked ‘What was the hardest thing for you hear, or a comment that truly left a scar for you?’, Sandara Park confessed that there was an incident where she was hurt by a comment made by Yoo Heeyeol.
She explained to him, “Last time when we came out on Sketchbook, Yoo Heeyeol-sshi had introduced us by saying Bom is the vocalist, CL is the rapper, Minji is the dancer, while I was the ‘image’. After the recording ended, I went to the roof and watched the sky.”
Following this, she added, “I thought to myself, what on earth am I?” causing the surroundings to burst into laughter.
On this day as well, she took a proof picture with Yoo Heeyeol to prove that she had appeared on the show. Moreover she had created a lively atmosphere in the studio and also showed an emotional side of her.

hi.ate dara you so very pretty.and you are my idol forever.i love u ate dara.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this topic to be actually something which I think I
would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Sandara Park is a good actress, singer, dancer, and model … She’s very talented and beautiful woman … I Love You Dara ^.^
You have a beautiful voice and you are a total performer!!!beautiful and talented.
Hi dara u r so pretty and u r talented also..
personally, when people say 2ne1, you, sandara park, are the first thing that comes to my mind. not just because you are the fairest of them all but also because you… are… awesomeness! so cheer up, baby girl! the term “image” isn’t so bad! maybe not even that way at all! ๐
(btw, kid, you probably just have an amusing star-gazing hippie side but i’m not sure if going to the rooftop when you’re feeling low is a very good idea.)
*when people say 2ne1…
Aww. Don’t push yourself too much Dara-shi. You just don’t know how important you are in 2ne1 and in YG family. You are really special and one of a kind, 2ne1 won’t be complete without SANDARA PARK. Fighting!
Can’t comment, makes me want to cry…
Let me hug you tight Dara…
We love you Sandy!! I got teary eyed wd d article…i hope darongie will b able 2 read all of our msgs…i’ve been a fan of her evrsince she appeard on tv to audixn 4 SCQ, until now that fandom hasn’t left me since then…she has been my inspiration all throughout d years… 2ne1 won’t b complete w/o her..i luv how she’s being honest wd her feelings…she’s 1 of a kind!!..i Luv her to pieces!!…SANDARA NoLjA!!…รผ
Goddess D, you’re a born entertainer / multi-tainer. You can sing, act, dance and now..you’re rapping!
dont be too hard on yourself. plus! you improved a lot and you keep on improving โค you're the best! you're the girl with an X Factor.
xoxo
aww:(
i kinda understand why dara unnie felt that way.
a lot of people and even herself thinks that she can’t really sing..
so that comment was kinda hurtful for her..
but then..if you look at the positive side..
she maybe is the one who provides the image of 2ne1..
but the it makes the fans love her and 2ne1 more!!
she provides this cute and at the same time fierce image of 2ne1..
she should be proud of that!:) she has a one of kind charm and the sweetest voice that 2ne1 needs! 2ne1 wouldn’t be the 2ne1 now wothout her!!
don’t worry goddess D..we BJ’s are always here to support u and 2ne1!:)
fighting goddess D!!:) never give up!!:)
p.s. ..i admire her for being honest:) love love dara unnie so much!:)
I really love Dara.
she’s really an honest person and you can really see the emotional side of her.
I am so proud of her that she confessed about it and what she did.
Now I know why Dara was sitting on the rooftop of the YGE. keke.
maybe YG saw what she’s doing there and I REALLY HAD A GREAT LOVE and RESPECT to DARA.
Dara was really different from others. she really had an attitude that no one had>
I felt sad when I read this article…when dara feels sad I’m sad too, when she’s happy I’m happy too. Dara never forget to make her fans happy as always…even though she is beautiful and has every talent and humor that a girl could possibly have…she is still lack in self esteem…and I wish that she could possess the confidence like CLs. This makes me sad. -_______-
i love 2ne1 because of you..
yeah me too
aigooo you’re here on earth for many reason sandy..
and you’re the main reason why we love 2ne1.. without you sure there no be 2ne1!!!!!
dont mind those comments!!!
there’s a lot of things you can do.. things that only you can do!!
ILOVE YOU DARA PARK.. YOU KNOW WHAT ? I WILL NEVER BE A FAN OF 2ne1 if you will not be one of the member.. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE KPOP GIRL GROUP 2NE1 AND SAW THAT YOU’RE OF THEM.. I BEGAN TO LOVE 2NE1 .. YOU KNOW YOU ARE THE MAIN REASON WHY I BOUGHT 2NE1’s FIRST ALBUM AND MINI ALBUM… I WILL BE YOUR NO.1 FAN FOREVER.. YOU’RE ONE OF A KIND .. YOU’RE VERY TALENTED AND A DILIGENT PERSON… FIGHTING!!!
Darong see how many fans who love you?? You are already SANDARA PARK before you even became a member of 2ne1..Do not ever think of yourself less…Your members should be proud because they have SANDARA PARK as a member…chin up girl…and hey you guys I visited 2ne1’s YT channel and there was a fan who actually demanded YG to have Yoo Heeyeol explain himself why he ever made that comment and hurt Sandara Park by doing so…oh gosh I understand how that fan felt but I think she got everything all wrong but the comment also made me laugh…lol
She better read her fans comment as a source of encouragement. She’ll learn a lot from here. Hope somebody write a book about her
I know that you were trying to get laughs with your statement but was also being truthful about what you feel. I would like you to think about this inspiring quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.” However, one of the reasons we love you is because even though you have EVERY RIGHT to be boastful and arrogant and cocky and onerous because of the way you look and because you were CHOSEN to be part of 2NE1 you still remain the same humble and down to earth Krung-krung we all know. So please stay true to yourself and show everyone what you got. We are always here to support you. We love you. ๐
I also used one of Eleonor Roosevelt quotes to describe Darong in my tribute vids. This is neat
again i’m a bit late 2 comment here but i want to say this…
Dara unnie Saranghae,were not even blood related but u made an impact in my life u just don’t know…
Dara is the whole packaged she sings,dances,acts,entertains,she can be hilariously fun,she can be serious,she thinks deep,and many more appreciations i can’t put in here all…she lits up the spirit of 2ne1,she is the closest member to every member…its just so heartbreaking to see her cry cause she thinks she drags her group,were in fact she contribute a lot as much as the other 3 members too…even professional choreographers, YG,Bigbang sunbaes and Se7en they each make the group stand out…Dara is not just image,a little credit on her hardwork on her dancing and improve singing and now rapping won’t hurt…sometimes people r just too close minded that they don’t see through other aspects of her…Dara unnie be strong,continue to be strong ok…we r just here…^_^…unnie don’t ever belittle what u do,cause literrally u made the impossible possible…and from Papa YG himself whispers Fighting!then walks out^_^
P.s i dont hate people categorizing her as pretty but do try to open their eyes and see other contributions she does 4 the group…
who says being d “image” person not important?it makes people fall in love with 2ne1 from d 1st sight… they different..from d rest…dara yah..not everyone can b d image of a group..coz being an image must hav d face+attitude+spirit..so, its a bonus package besides ability to dance and sing…other people tried damn hard to have d image by pretending not they are and even went into cosmetic surgery…so, its a gift! ability is something u hav and polish it into something big but image came by nature..gift from god..we love u because of who u are…
Dara is more than just a pretty face. But I understand her frustration because ever since the beginning she had always wanted to be a singer (I believe she was a fan of Regine Velasquez?). She works so hard to better herself so I guess hearing that intro of her as possibly just the “image” of the group must have been disheartening. But don’t worry Darong! You’re doing such a great job! And your sincerity just makes you become loved even more. ๐
If bom is in charge of vocal, cl on rap, minzy on Dance then Dara is the blackJack of all trades! She can do it all not perfectly but passionately!
it’s hard when you are surrounded with people that is more talented than you! no matter how much effort you exert, people won’t see it..but that only applies on international kpop fans..i know Dara is well love in Korea..in international kpop fans, who is full of musical genius wannabes, they always criticize her as if she has no talent to offer..she is criticized not because she has no talent (as they said) but because they don’t want to believe on what is in front of their eyes..when you look at all the girl groups, Dara’s talents ranked average (for me!)..What makes her a winner? everytime she wents on the stage, i can feel that she is in her best..she’s always on her best..you can feel that she’s on stage because she loves performing and not because of fame..
as a blackjack, reading comments outside of our comfort zones is a big no! it only affects my day..as long as i know that she is well love in korea, i’m happy!
i advice you, to stop answering those negative comments…no matter how much the comments hurt you, you will get nothing, you are just making them happy… ๐
I love your comment :>
Honestly, she maybe the image of the group!
But she has it all!
She can sing,
She can dance,
And now she’s starting to rap!
I love her HONESTY! And yeah, she’s very humble!
she is really down to earth…very humble…darong darong bright dara unnie…
there’s nothing in this world that she can’t do – can act, sing, rap, dance, model, MC. she’s also fluent in 3 different languages. she can be a dramatic star, a comedienne, she can even nail an antagonist role. to me, she’s not just an idol. I see a real STAR in her and she will continue to shine brightly.
there are surely a lot of prettier idols than her but what sets her apart is her CHARISMA and GENUINITY. and she sets the trend for FAN SERVICE (i find others copying her style).
while i agree that she is the IMAGE of the group, i think she’s got soo much to offer and seriuosly, i cannot imagine 2NE1’s success without her. To say that she’s VERSATILE is an understatement.
I like 2NE1 but I love DARA PARK. she’s my ultimate kpop bias.
of course it was a compliment…Dara just wanted to put the MC on the spot and make the audience laugh..thus making this comment…that’s what you call a punchline…but that proved one thing too..she isn’t vain at all..and I’m loving her more for that ๐ Just do your thing Darong and continue proving all your haters wrong till they shove their foot in their own mouths!!!
him saying she is the image wasnt a insult but it was her compliment to dara but dara didnt like it.
dara she is the image of 2ne1 its the truth
all the comment i see in ohdara is “dara so pretty”
dara she doesnt like the comment that she is the image of 2ne1 she wants to be more than being pretty or people just commenting on her face when she wants to be complimented by her inside charms.
i dont put comments like that here cuz i just see a different side of her not just the face but you know it depends on wat the article about not just saying dara is pretty
she is very talented but image is the most that you notice very much. its very obvious that she is preety that why he said she is the image but once you know dara has more charm than the face.
uhmn, if you re-read the articles with interviews, videos, etc and the comments that come with them, you would realize that peeps here also do praise dara’s brain, heart, musical skills, etc. ๐
good things come to those who work hard, have the passion and perserverance…….
and dara is an example of it….
Dara without 2ne1 is not 2ne1. She’s an important part of group just like the other girls. I hope all the hate she has been receiving does not depress her much. Don’t worry Dara, there ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVES in YOU! Fighting! ๐
Dara you are very talented! ^^
don’t worry DARA for us you are the best!!!!
idk why some people are so hard on her,you can see how hardworking she is,how sweet she is,she’s close to PERFECT,
and if you ask who you are in the world?
YOU inspire US!!!!
(is it me or i feel she is kinda sad lately..very emotional..)
ya i can feel it too…..but, i want to cheer her up…
I sense that too nevertheless she still puts on a genuine smile on her face and works really hard to entertain. They are really busy right now so whatever emptiness that she is feeling is put aside but we who love her can perceive it. ๐ฆ
dara unnie…………………….i don’t know,, but, for me…she’s everything in 2ne1….she take a role for every aspect…she improve alot…..i don’t want dara unnie to be hurt….she is freshness of their group. in term of face and vocal….she all out…..
reading this article made me wanna cry….dara unnie…..
Awww, don’t be so hard on yourself, Dara-unnie. What matters most is that you know that you’re giving your 100% in all you do and that we think of you as someone as equally important as the rest of the girls. ๐
Dara dear… Rest assured, you’ll always be loved! โค
It seems to me that she wanted to make laughter by saying that
No wonder she cried during the making of can’t nobody mv. ๐ฆ
But all I can say is she is a talented girl. People are just saying hateful comments because they cant say that about their idol. They can boast how amazing their idol vocally but they can’t say she can sing(she’s really got at harmonizing), dance, rap, act, funny, etc. and on top of that she’s gorgeous!!!!!! Only sandara fans can say that with pride! Right?! ๐
awww, D-yah can rap, dance and sweet vocals too. Very talented and she improved because she wanted to do better for her fans. Thats why i love the way she is.
Dara don’t feel too sad because of these kind of comments. Coz you complete 2ne1, each of you are unique individuals that makes up 2ne1. I don’t think 2ne1 will be as popular and as amazing if one of you are missing. You are not just 2ne1’s “image” anymore, you’ve proven w/ your comeback that you really contribute to 2ne1’s success. You improved so much w/ your singing & dancing that you just blew me away. I am so proud of you, Dara!!!!
This made me smile coz she went to the rooftop and ask herself ‘what am I?’ lol. She is really sensitive but Dara has a point. I know when she revealed this. this caused laughter.lol. She want to be known not just the ‘image’ of the group but how unique she is and hardworking she is which all her followers knows from the start. I fell in love with Sandara coz she strive hard. No one is like Sandara who wants to be pretty only.
If others do plastic surgery for them to be pretty and their talents will be appreciated, Dara all needs to improve her abilities coz she already got the factor and natural face in entering the entertainment. In which I can see in their comeback. She improved Dude! so much!
I really love her honesty. She has no pretentions.
they can say whatever they wanna say about u…but to me ur AN ALL AROUND ENTERTAINER and be proud of that cause not a lot of people can have that TALENT!!!!
๐ฆ
that’s true..don’t worry sandara…ur a true exceptional girl…
i โค Dara
This beautiful woman brings sooo much to the group and sometimes ppl fail to see that
in kpop, and the entertainment industry worldwide nowadays, singers/groups are all about image.
that’s fact.
and sandara is definitely a part of 2ne1’s image. so are each of the other members, but dara more than others just because she is so popular.
there’s nothing wrong with that. dara is not the singer with the largest range, or the dancer with the most pop. she has a little of everything, and a lot of charm.
i just wish she wouldn’t be so hard on herself.
so true!! she may not be the best but she have bits and pieces of every talent and personality an artist should possess… everytime she’s criticizing herself i really get upset..well she won’t be Dara if she’s not like that ^.^
and oh…im fearing when this got posted @ akp the haters would flood the comments but thank god there’s only few.. i mean.. how can you bash a girl as sweet as her like that?! some haters there even found respect for her..cause she proved them yet again that she’s not merely a “face”… DArong โค
