FASHION FIND: Dara’s Sleek, Simple Style At The Airport Going Back To Korea

OMG seriously, it took me so long to find the jacket and long-ish to find the sunglasses LOL (thanks to everyone who helped! Specially @imchie_b @zazayb @closer_21) ! And good thing someone was able to take a picture of Dara’s feet! Haha! I was despairing of ever finding her shoes for a while. T_T 

Stylish Dara is stylish! Love how she keeps it simple but fun! I think she had the “B*TCH” red patches on the sleeves of her jacket removed so only the black remained, and TBH it’s not really clear by then. ^^ Love how Dara is conscious about what she’s wearing. Keke! ^^ Her pink plaid pants are the same ones she wore while she was in Singapore too.  Her  shoes, we’ve seen her wear it a few times also. Dara and Louboutins are practically OTP. Keke! ^^

News:Sandara Park’s Height Humiliation Next To The Tall SHINee Members Revealed

Sandara Park’s Height Humiliation Next To The Tall SHINee Members Revealed

Girl group 2NE1 member, Sandara Park, looking cutely small next to the SHINee members, is becoming hot topic between netizens.

On the 4th of April, an online community board uploaded a picture under the title, “Sandara Park is really small.” In the photo, Sandara Park and the SHINee members were standing side-by-side, in what appears to be a commercial photoshoot for a cosmetics brand they are all endorsing. All of them wore matching costumes with pink jackets, which looked like uniforms. It showed their idol charms to the utmost.

But people are not talking about this photo just because of their charms. If you look closely, you can see that Sandara Park is standing on a platform, in order to reduce the height difference between herself and SHINee’s Key, who is standing beside her. In reality, Sandara Park is about 6 years older than the average ages of all the SHINee members, so she’s really a “noona” but because of her small stature, cute face, and fresh image, she seems much younger than her age. Her small face and beauty stood out even at a distance. In the photo, it even seems that she is the youngest among them.

Currently the keywords Key humilation (T/N: Because Dara is standing right beside Key)” and “Sandara height humiliation” are one of the most searched. Netizens who saw the pictures, commented with, “The best in the music industry,” “Her appearance and beauty along more than makes up for her short height,” “The SHINee oppas are really tall,” “Sandara Park is cutely small next to Key,” “There’s just a feeling that the boys are so tall,” “Her small face matches with her height,” “She’s small, but she’s cute,” “SHINee are just giants,” “Their faces are really small,” showing their hot reaction.
