Okay guys, here we go! For this batch of consolidated news, we have the translations for the original Korean news that featured Dara. As much as possible I try hard to do direct trans and not paraphrase, in fact, I avoid that very much. I also don’t like putting in my thoughts into the article itself, so I have my T/Ns like this (T/N: Dara fans are jjang!).

Enjoy reading! And as always, comments are appreciated!

The next time, we could greet each other with a word or two!!” she said, posting a picture with the text.

In the picture, Sunday and Sandara Park were standing side by side, doing a fun pose. Wearing an all black costume and shorts, Sunday showed off a sexy and attractive charisma.

2NE1 “I Am The Best,” Sandara Park’s Pigtails – Gong Minji’s Floor Performance

T/N: They used the term “yanggalrae” and when I searched for pics, it came out as pigtails (pigtails that are like two ponytails on either side of the head, not the tight braid ones). I think this is like the “byeomeori” (braid at the front, with hair swept to one side) where they gave specific names to specific hairstyles. Nice thinking. Now if only English have them too. OTL.

2NE1’s Sandara Park gained attention last week during their comeback with her Vegeta hairstyle, and now she’s back to attracting people with her new hairstyle, pigtails (T/N: I.E. the yanggalrae).

On the July 3 broadcast of SBS “Inkigayo” 2NE1 followed up their brilliant comeback and debut of their new song “I Am The Best.”

Their powerful performance and colorful costumes were a stand out. In last week’s comeback, Sandara Park’s hair, which was reaching up the sky, became hot topic when it was dubbed as the “Vegerta hairstyle.” On this performance stage, she had two pigtails on both sides of her head, with hot pink stripes braided into one side, giving her a youthful charisma.

In addition, Gong Minji’s powerful performance as she danced on the floor while singing, captured attention as well.

During the Inkigayo broadcast, performers like Rania, B1A4, Navi, Boyfriend, Min Kyeong Hyun, Mighty Mouse and Soya, f(x), 8Eight, Sunny Hill, Rainbow, A-Pink, Kim Hyun Joong, Secret, T-Ara, 2NE1, and 2PM appeared for the show’s “Summer Special, Episode 2.”
