Here are some excerpts from the article: [Text in pink are translations by Oh Dara]
“When you meet Dara, it is her seemingly pore-less, velvety white skin that strikes you first. I wanted to touch her face to see if it was real.”
***
“The campaign was so effective, come afternoon of the launch day, the stocks of the Miss Tangerine line were all gone.”
***
“But stardom hasn’t gotten to her head. “Hindi pa rin. Hindi ko pa na-re-realize na big star ako [Trans: Still haven’t. I still haven’t realized that I’m a big star],” she humbly stated.”
***
“Dara still dreams of coming back to Manila, with her ultimate dream of staging a concert at the Araneta Coliseum.”
***
Who among your friends encourages you? “Si Boom! [Park Bom] Same age kami, yes, best friend ko siya.” [Trans: We’re of the same age, and yes, she’s my best friend]
– Stef Cabal, Philippine Daily Inquirer

Love the article. Well written.
fine, abs, you didn’t abandon dara.
ooohh… she still read pex.. amazing…
KNOW WHAT’S FUNNY…………… DARA WAS IN THE STATION ABS CBN KNOWN TO BE CALLED KAPAMILYA
AND IN KOREA IN YG KNOWN TO BE CALLED YG FAMILY
SEEN THE SIMILARITIES????
KAPAMILYA IN ENGLISH CALLED FAMILY….HEHEHEHE
Yeah! I agree with the c0mments ab0ve..the stati0n didn’t aband0ned her,.its the fans. The death of HeroSan loveteam and the birth of Kimerald loveteam. People just tend to forget the old when new ones come along. Dara was a gem to that station, but business is still business. Glad that she is Sandara Park, cause if not. Her name would have now been forgotten. P.S. I want her to comeback in the Phil.to shut the m0uth of the people who once didnt believe her talents. ;D
all i can say is that Dara is the hard-working one. she never gives up and continue setting her best out that’s why many people love her. Dara isn’t the typical girl. She’s a super girl in terms of everything! ^_^
All what’s written in the article, i can’t agree no more.
guys, keep voting for 2ne1 Go Away on Myx Awards 2011..

if happened that u don’t know the artist. i think you can skip it and turn to page 3,
Thanks! Nolja !
i hate this fact…
“Some were enamored by her cute charm, some deemed her comical, and still others labeled her “krung-krung” (meaning crazy). But no one really respected her as a full-fledged artist. She was, perhaps, just a novelty.”
frm daily inquirer
hard to admit, but it’s true, i hate it.
that’s why i don’t want Dara/2ne1 go to the Philippines. . and do some guesting.. the way they treat Dara..
oh.. we have the same thought… they never treated her as a serious artist. I dont want her to be guested on any programs here in the philippines especially in her former station that abandoned her after losing popularity. Lets wait and see after her us debut, they’re gonna broadcast it how proud they are with dara and that she’s their so called former artist. Dara is so pure and kind-hearted that i dont want her to be used by a**-***.
no…she love ABS-CBN….they did not abandon her…thats why she keps on updating there…shes totally apreciated in that station……
and she dont fit in G**…lol
agree . i think .
we should blame her handler who leaves her. thats why she have no choice to pose in a men’s mag because that time she has no manager. i think
yeah,,,and she also had an interview in
other magazine bout that
….she says that it was a misunderstanding on
her part cu theres no manger to explain
the things she will do there…she just grab it
without knowng that she wil pose like that..
i’m sorry but ABS-CBN didn’t really abbandoned her. you know in showbizness if you had so many supporters they always give you the spot. i actually think that the FANS are the ones who left her, i remember when she went back here before, she has this interview in THE BUZZ she cried because she lost so many fans, that was the time when she went back from studying in Korea! and besides ABS-CBN was still giving her some sidelines that time, like inserting her in some dramas, or morning shows. also the issue about her personal problems didn’t even help. and even if she was still popular during that time, i’m sure she’s still going to join YGE, coz that was really her dream.
you’re right.. the fans were the ones who really left her.. she went to yge for workshops and stayed in korea while she’s on the peak of her career but her fans didn’t wait for her.. and this was the time when pbb became a phenomenal hit followed by the birth of kimerald. it was not really the station’s fault, coz if she had a solid fanbase before she wouldn’t lose her popularity. i admit that i’m not an avid fan of dara and her loveteam before. i just find her cute. i only became such a fan when the lollipop mv came out and she debuted as a 2ne1 member. and now, i became more and more addicted to her as i see how beautiful she is inside and out..
yes! that’s why when she visited phil. last time…one of the places she still visit was ABS CBN………..
KNOW WHAT’S FUNNY…………… DARA WAS IN THE STATION ABS CBN KNOWN TO BE CALLED KAPAMILYA
AND IN KOREA IN YG KNOWN TO BE CALLED YG FAMILY
SEEN THE SIMILARITIES????
KAPAMILYA IN ENGLISH CALLED FAMILY….HEHEHEHE
sad but true, her fans (maybe not all, but a lot) left her.
ever wonder why whenever she gives a message to her filipino fans it often include the line “naaalala nyo pa ba ako”??
in my opinion, if her image is not ‘krung krung’ i don’t think pinoy fans will notice her…filipinos love her from the start (she got the highest percentage of votes in SCQ) because of her crazyness…but she left on the peak of her career.then, there was kim chu.
but then, if we really think about it, it’s a good thing because she was able to re-invent herself and proved to averyone that she can be a better person, a better artist and regain the respect of many and her fans a thousand folds.
really love her humblness….thats why i love her…so much…still prefer to use tagalog…..like it,….
Love Dara’s humility and grace. Love her!!!
i like what she said about seeing herself in the etude commercial:
“Kakaiba yung feeling ko dito, parang pag pinapanood ko siya, parang ang ganda ko!”
LOL ^^
can’t wait…2ne1 in araneta,, 🙂 omo….
“as well, in the knowledge that somehow, she is Filipino— even more Filipino than some of our local stars.”
TRUE INDEED.
;D
i agree with you…really hope she will visit us with her felow member..and have concert here….really hope for that,,,ad if that hapens i will spend all my money to watch here….live…lol
