It is my wish that Dara fans and even the non-fans read this interview and appreciate Dara. For the fans, it will let you appreciate and understand Dara more, for the non-fans, maybe it’ll give you a step closer to appreciation also… For everyone who has questioned, or is still questioning, her personality and her intentions of showing a bubbly side to her, even if she is naturally quiet and shy, then this interview is for YOU.

Comments on: "Interview: Dara Bares A Part Of Her Soul For First Look Magazine Interview – A Look Inside Her Personality" (25)
AND THIS SIDE OF HER IS JUST EXACTLY WHY I ADMIRE HER SO MUCH!!!! AND I LOVE HER WHATEVER SHE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<3
dara ah, you warm my heart. you make me tearing when i read out your interview. wow i love you more and more. i wish you can find out your prince soon. ah how can i find the word to describe how i feel toward you. saranghae daraaaaaaaaa
oh Dara and WLD thank you so much, admins and translators thank you, Dara is the most honest celebrity i’ve ever known… i will be a dara fan forever!… Dara i know your prince will come on the right time when both of you are ready, remember God works in mysterious ways…keep your faith…i can say you have dual personality (most common in gemini people) though i know you’re not gemini but it’s normal you know so don’t stress yourself about what other people might be thinking about your stage personality…you’re beyond amazing! fighting!
I can relate to her.. We are almost the same personality.. gosh! (sometimes, i don’t even notice maybe almost of the time when i’m alone- friends who accidentally saw me said that i have my own world!..) hehe! But! when about work,with friends,gatherings and some occasions they see me as Bubbly lady, fashionista,always smiling and laughing.. Gosh! I really admire and Love Dara!!!! ๐
wow! so much comments! i’m teary eyed! Sandara Park you warm everyone’s heart ๐
Iove her more!
i feel like we have so much in common. LOL
I am very lively, like ms. sunshine, whenever i’m with some people… but i am really quiet and shy… HAHA.
oh and yeah, she had always said that she’s different on-cam… so i think she’s being real. that’s just her personality. ๐
Aww. I love her even more, I love her two different personalities, one is protecting and shielding her and the other is making her cheerful and affable. Dara-ya you are genuine and pure person, you are a treasure worth keeping. I really hope someday you will find your prince, just like me I keep on wishing that love stories in movies become real. Keep on doing what you love and make the most out of it. Don’t mind the haters and continue to become an inspiration to all your fans. We love you Dee. ๐
i really admire those persons who can speak their mind… and dara is one of those rare people ๐
why the hell am i crying reading this ????? grrrrrrrrrrrr i love her more in more!!
I really sense that Dara feels things differently and deeply. She’s a scorpio, right? The intensity and depth of their emotions and intellect can scare people off, so most of the time they choose to keep an outward appearance (whether calmness or brightness) that other’s can handle. I’ve always thought that her family is really lucky in a sense that, her loyalty to them is automatic (and vice versa), but those who are in her inner circle, worked hard to gain her lifelong loyalty. Yeah, Guilty! I have a certain level of affinity to her. So proud of your strength and loyalty, Dara!!! We’re just behind you.^^
I think she is what you call an introvert. From what she has accomplished as an artist despite the natural inclination of her personality is a tribute to her courage. Equally admirable is her honesty. Not everyone can publicly admit their true nature especially if it runs contrary to a certain favorable image that is needed to be cultivated for the masses. Also, nice girls are only for nice boys. Swag is not measurable to character.
PREACH
i understand Dara’s situation because i myself is like that. i can’t easily open up to anybody unless i’ve known them for years. it’s not that i’m not friendly i’m just shy so some people misunderstood me. by reading this article i love more Dara even more. Thanks admin for the translations, we really appreciates all your updates regarding Dara and 2NE1. God bless and lots of love.<3
PS
Dara, I hope and pray that your prince will come someday at the right time. who will love you for who you are. โค
SANDARA PARK………….I love yooooouuu! To all the admins…:) i love you too…thank you so much!:)
I think a part of my heart died when she said that “When a girl is too nice, it seems the guy leaves.” OTL. Dara-ya, if he let go of someone as beautiful and big-hearted as you, then he doesn’t deserve what he had. You will find a prince someday who will love you as you ought to be loved. โค

And oh, thanks for all the shoutouts on twitter and for all the love here.. We love you guys! You are part of the reason why we keep on doing the things we do. ^^
I love you, Dara-yah! For all your entirety! We are truly blessed to have you around. You are an inspiration to many. There are a lot of people rooting for you and cheering you on. Continue to keep it real and your happiness means the world to us.
Aww bless her ^^ Regardless I like her ‘on-screen’ and real personality~ โค Love you Dara!! Btw thank you for the translations, I feel like I understand Dara more โค
Haha, so those who are close to her and knows her real personality are considered VVIPs then? Lol ^^
Thank u ohdara and WLD, ur amazing guyz! Noona i knw u since 2004 and i sew a lot of off-cam clip, so i’m not surprise with ur personality, i accepted and love u w/ all My heart! I’m not really a friendly person but i was trying to aproach ev’ryone, i have My self Boundary too and some people said that i’m hipรณcrita, but i’m not! It hurts me a lot of time, they dont understand me. Now i’m having fan enjoying My self, and try to love me morรฉthan b4. Darรก noona fighting! ^_^
Dalooooooong I sooooooo loooooove you (mianhe for the shouting lol)!!! We always see you on TV smiling and being your giddy self that we sometimes tend to forget that you are more than what you let out. I admire your thoughtfulness and selflessness. Even thinking of not being a burden to others. *Sigh* My heart swells and breaks for this girl even if I don’t personally know her. I hope people who don’t appreciate her (which I seriously cannot understand how and why) at least respect her for being so hardworking.
I remember her saying in 2ne1’s WinWin guesting:
“Dara-ah not matter if your happy or sad, whether the day is going smoothly or not always make sure to keep the drive and motivation. Freshly bring laughter and happiness to the people around you. Fighting!”
