After arriving in Korea on the night of March 12th, 2NE1′s Dara met with reporters outside of Gimpo International Airport and shared her experience in Japan with Star News.
Dara revealed:
“At the time of the earthquake, we were on the 34th floor of our hotel dorm in Tokyo. Maybe it’s because we were higher up, but things shook a lot more severely, which surprised us all. I thought my body was going to fly out. Even during the plane ride home, I couldn’t calm myself, and thinking about it now still scares me.
After the shaking stopped, we walked from the 34th floor all the way down to the first and relocated to a safer location. There were many things to worry about, including our Japanese fans who were waiting for us in front of the hotel during the time of the actual earthquake.
All of us were very shocked, but we were more worried for the safety of the Japanese people. I genuinely hope that everyone made it out of the disaster safely, and that it doesn’t become magnified.”
When told that her fans were concerned about the bandage she had on her finger, 2NE1’s representatives explained, “It was not because of the earthquake. She got into an accident in the bathroom and put a bandage over it.”

She truely love and care about her fans<3 God bless Japan and stay strong!!
i really adore her<333
Despite of the fact that she’s still traumatized, she still managed to give us update about what happened there. you’re really brave unnie:)) i know that you and the girls will get through this in no time:)) Rest well:)
Among the 4 members Dara’s the brave one to talk about her earthquake experience in Japan. Being in the 34th floor is no fun at all cause I also experienced the same thing a few years ago but not as huge as 8.9 but it’s still scary, the higher you are the scariest it would be. I hope she & the others won’t get any nightmares even though it was a traumatic experience for them seeing those people perish & losing their livelihood. On the lighter side because of that experience I know the girls will grow more mature and will look things in life more differently. Just like what Dara said that we are also more concerned with the Japanese people safety, no matter how prepared they were or used to earthquakes in their country, no one will easily be adapted or would want to experience to an 8.9 magnitude of earthquake that lasted for 5 minutes followed by a Tsunami. Our thoughts & prayers are with you Dara, 2NE1 & the people of Japan.
Rest well Dara. Hope you get in touch with those jblackjacks someday. Cant forget their happy faces when your group came
DARA VER. their arrival.
I REALLY LOVE HER. SHE HAS A GOOD HEART. SHE WORTH ALL OF OUR ADMIRATION. have some rest dara unnie and the rest of the girls.
p.s. she is trending everywhere. everyone loves her.
I’m thankful that they made it back home safe. I recalled the feeling of a magnitude 5 earthquake and it’s pretty scary even if i’m at the ground level. This is quite traumatic for them, moreso since it’s their supposed debut. Fighting Dara, 2ne1, j-blackjacks!! Us fans will continue to support you!
p.s let us continue to pray for the japanese people for their quick recovery from this disaster.
