This is just an informal translation!

G-Dragon got really sick while he was preparing for his concert in Seoul. He went to the hospital and got an IV before the concert because they would rehearse into the night coupled with the cold weather.
After G-Dragon’s concert on March 30, he asked 2NE1 to be guests for the concert on the 31st so he can get some rest in between while 2NE1 is performing. CL asked 2NE1 to perform on behalf of GD. Dara initially had a schedule on 31st March, but decided to be the guest for GD therefore canceling her trip. Dara was supposed to be in the Philippines to support MBLAQ’s concert.

yeah that’s right! I dont get it why they blame her! I hope that the producer of the concert, j.tune or yg would release an official statement that dara is not part of the production of the concert and the reason for the show cancellation to stop those haters!
I don’t understand why some crazy fans are blaming Dara because MBLAQ’s concert was cancelled today? Dara is not the one performing, she’s not in charge of the concert, so why was it her fault.
About GD, Kiko was spotted sitting beside GD’s friends and family today, so please stop shipping Dara and GD so those crazy VIP’s will stop bashing Dara for no reason.

What’s with all the negativity, people? This the reason why YG is a FAMILY. They help each other in need. Get well soon, GD. Hengsho, yorobeun!
The concert of MBLAQ IS CANCELLED, they already posted the news at the concert venue. My friend told me that there is no definite date yet for the concert and they are giving refunds already. In twitter there are some fans that blames dara for being the reason of the cancellation of the concert. Let us correct those wrong accussations to dara!
I understand now why YG/GD chose 2ne1 and not the other artist.. the live band(?) and the stage director are the same people who work for NE concert.. so 2ne1 is the best choice as they don’t need more time to rehearse given the urgency of the situation..
Hi! but to tell you honestly, I really don’t know what would I feel about helping a friend who is sick… Dara always help every YG artist whether they are sick or not…. Its just that Its very hard to be DARA, cause all YG artist count on her since she is the most supportive member of YG.. BUT what if she has personal or family thing and we know that her FAMILY is very important to her, what will she do?? she’s been a very big help with her fellow YG artist.. But in times like this family thing the question is that… is YG family also willing to understand her..
True T_T
TRUE! and that what hurts me the most. been a fan of her, i can understand or know her attitude and personality a little.
i hope she can attends mblaq concert,,,i heard that mblaq concert had been postponed and will push through tomorrow..so there is possibility that dara will go to the Philippines…so stop it now guys…
the con. canceled already, so they asked sm to refund the ticket. acording to (Oh thunder.)
waahh!! what I a tiring and stressful day it is.. I hope this wont make any issue against Dara. as we all know haters always lurk somewhere waiting for a single hole at dara. Why is it they are making a big fuss out of this?? ~sigh~ let’s just accept the fact that she is, first and foremost has a responsibility towards her label company, 2nd it is a critical situation for GD, 3rd 2ne1 will not be 2ne1 without her performing with the group. right? Let’s just pray that everything will turn out well. Let’s not be divided but rather we should be united with this.. Just sayin ^ ^
I have want Dara as a sister would support Thunder’s first concert in the Philippines.
But if YG has demand, as a member of 2NE1, I think she should be present at the concert of GD. Because:
– As a YG’s artist, you think she can not follow order from YG?
– As a junior, you think she can refuse help a senior who helped her and 2NE1 lot from the days not yet to debut?
-As a friend, do you think she should abandon her friend when he needs help?
If she had gotten rid of all these things to come to the Philippines, she will not be Dara we have been loved, right?.
So if love her let only support her.
I’m also thinking, who knows YG will let 2NE1 reveals new song at the concert of GD. That is how to handle the situation, finally is win – win. ^___^
I love you and Dara will love you too for your understanding and support!
Can people just calm down and stop overreacting? Honestly, I’m surprised that this announcement has resulted in such divisive and negative comments. Dara and 2NE1 are stepping up for GD, their friend/labelmate and whether or not some people like it, the decision has been made so just be supportive like Dara is in this case. I’m fans of both 2NE1 and Big Bang and of course Dara, and all this finger pointing and they owe her, that this is unfair, blah blah blah is fruitless and just breeds negativity and resentment. Let’s look forward to and enjoy 2NE1’s performance and hope for Dara’s sake that she may still have the chance to support her brother in MBLAQ’s concert in the Philippines.
agree completely!
Dara is such a professional.
Happy easter sunday everyone! Let’s just pray that Dara would still be able to go to the Philippines. Oh my I am really praying to God for miracles to happen.
We love you Dara!
I think we should respect her decision and during this times, as a fan of her, she needs our united support…<3
Dara is helping GD yes true! But I think people here forgot that all 2ne1 members will be there too! Im sure other members sacrificed too just to accommodate GD’s request and its ALL ABOUT WORK but since Dara was announced to be at MBLAQ concert theyve issued a statement to lessen the misunderstandings or other speculations why Dara attended GD’s concert rather than MBLAQs. Dara will perform as 2NE1’s Dara not Sandara Park who is a noona of Thunder. Again Dara is just that professional.
In a perfect world, let MBLAQ cover for 2ne1 in GD’s concert, then 2ne1 perform a song in MBLAQ’s concert. LOL That should make all fandoms happy 😛
Blackjacks! Let’s be sensitive in our comments and not turn Dara’s act to anything more or anything less than an true act of friendship. GD has lent his support and rendered his help to 2ne1 in more ways than we possibly know since their debut so I’m sure Dara is more than happy to return the favour!
Hurray! Lets rally together as Daralings and Blackjacks to give our support. Arent we a cut above the others? True friendship is rare! that’s why we love our girl. she lives by example. We should learn from her too!
plain and simple I LOVE DARA bec she is SUPPORTIVE DARA and GOOD HEART ONE!
don’t blame dara for this if the show of mblaq will be moved tomorrow.the reason why dara will go to manila is because she will support her brother.blame the organizer..
Waaahh! There’s a lot of things happening right now… I hope its just being delayed or postponed so our pretty dara would be able to come in the Philippines. May God do the rest.
Honestly, I hope that is not the case, coz I will feel sorry for MBLAQ fans, and I can’t blame them if they get pissed because of that
Uhmm… HAPPY FOOLS DAY!! well sort of advance greeting~ CHILL UP guys!
Me too 🙂 hengsho
oh yes hengsho. daragon daragon daragon. let’s spread it. daragon is so real. c’mmon ket’s go spread it all over the internet. twitter. instagram. tumbler. facebook. ne2day. daragon is true. gd and dara so caring and loving to wach. oh my god daragon is so true. we are so happy daragon is trye. ket’s go all over the social network sites. why keep this. daragon is out there. they are so true. daragon daragon daragon daragon saragon. oh my daragon so cute.
I think you are not a true daragon.How could you be so happy at this critical situation?it could break both break Dara and GD, personally and career wise.. Pls be considerate of the situation. I am an Appler myself but there is always time for everything,. I hope you have a wonderful easter sunday. God bless you ^ ^
he is not a appler or daraling. just a punk making trouble.
i think so. maybe someone who is doesn’t care how her/ his word could affect on people’s lives.. I hope we all be responsible and sensible of what we are going to say. I had my lesson last night.. ke ke ke
BREAKING NEWS!
MBLAQ’s concert today is postponed for TOMORROW.
I guess this is something to do with Dara not being able to go because the promoters promised Dara to be there for the fans to come.
Dara you better go tomorrow cause a lot of fans will be devastated!!!!!!!!!!
With all due respect. I doubt the concert is postponed just because Dara isn’t able to go. I’m sure there is a conflict between the organizers and MBLAQ’s company.
Haha. Then MBLAQ fans all have to reschedule. 😛 But about Dara having to work even though she had plans, thats normal. Thats what working life’s about. Go through it and embrace it. Anyway GD is first priority since he is sick and I don’t think Dara can enjoy her time knowing she ditched someone in need for her personal happiness.
BUT by postponing the concert, won’t that action piss off MBLAQ’s fans?
I agree with you. The thing is fans show their true colors when things change not to their liking. We fans get to decide what kind of people we are? are we just lip service in saying how much we love Dara? Or we will support her no matter what? She is helping a friend who is sick. I’m proud of her and wish I had a friend like that. that’s why we love her.
Hi! but to tell you honestly, I really don’t know what would I feel about helping a friend who is sick… Dara always help every YG artist whether they are sick or not…. Its just that Its very hard to be DARA, cause all YG artist count on her since she is the most supportive member of YG.. BUT what if she has personal or family thing and we know that her FAMILY is very important to her, what will she do?? she’s been a very big help with her fellow YG artist.. But in times like this family thing the question is that… is YG family also willing to understand her..
The entire concert seemed rushed to begin with. Heck I was blindsided with the sudden announcement that they’re flying to PH, then add the fact that the format of the concert kept changing.
And I find it annoying that the promoters had to publicized DARA and her family’s arrival for MBLAQ’s concert. Although it was expected that she will fly here, I’m sure Dara would’ve preferred if the spotlight is on MBLAQ rather than herself. She never gave hint on her own SNS accounts that she’s gonna fly here, it came from the promoters, and she never admitted it till the last minute when she had to cancel. Can you imagine the additional logistics and security that the promoters will have to secure in order to protect Dara too, not to mention YG has to send his own team for her too.
Then blame it to the promoters for banking on DARA’s apperance rather than MBLAQ’s.
why blame it to dara? she has nothing to do w/ this -.-
not blaming her at all.
excuse me, but DARA has nothing to do with the postponed con.of MBLAQ today. Surely it has something to do with the PROMOTER&MBLAQ Mngt.
Why we make it sound that it was due Dara’s absence today that it was cancelled..its not that she could command the organizer to move the schedule..there must be something big that happened that’s why it was moved maybe we can call it a blessing in disguise for Dara to still get to see the concert…let us always chose to cling on the positive side in every situation..and more let us love her even in her weaknesses , even when her decision doesn’t taste good in us..we should know that Dara is a Human, a woman,a daughter, a sister a friend,an artist a professional one and she’s an employee…she has a lot of roles that she plays every waking hour , let just be happy and support her neh
I was just speculating but now we all know the answer. GO and Seungho had problems with their passports. I apologize if ever I created a ruckus here. I didn’t intend to collect negative comments from Daralings. I bet Dara was pissed because of this sudden change in her schedule. If I was in her position, I’d be upset not going to my brother’s concert just because of work but it seems that fate is on her side since MBLAQ’s concert is postponed for tomorrow. Hope Dara can still attend.
It must have been hard for Dara not to attend her baby bro;s 1st Phil. concert
but then if its the boss who asked her , she can do nothing but be professional
and maybe concerned too since GD is a closefriend and a label mate..
we know her she’s just too selfless…
aigooo hope Thunder won’t be sad for the changes I know he’s excited to being in Phil con and to have Dara watching it..but something happened nature or not lets just pray for the best..
Let’s just support her anywhere she is.. Lets not blame GD or YG..She is professional and for sure GD doesnt want to be sick at this time and YG doesnt want to hinder the plans of the artists..but sometimes this happens and plans changes for the better.. if ur in S.Korea then better go to GD’s Concert to support them if ur in Manila then go to A+ concert..this is the best that we can do…
*i mean if ur in Manila go to MBLAQ concert
I agree with you! If you love Dara, that she needs your support!
I understand GD health condition…but….why it must be 2ne1????FIGHTING DARA
YG has more artists why only 2NE1?? i know GD and Bigbang are like brother and sisters too but.. maybe other YG artist could do it because i know DARA wanted to go with her brother so bad T-T
I think the other YG will be guests as well.. check blo’s tweets
Good riddance here they come ~_~ .
For now, I wish that VIPs will appreciated 2ne1/Dara effort and sacrifice and for Blackjacks to send well wishes for all parties’ effort
she really sacrifice not to attend her brother concert in the PH but at the same time she really show professionalism… so im proud of her… i think because of fatigue and changing weather here in korea thats why GD is sick….
Dara really make me proud . Such sacrifice 🙂 baby is an angel .please be happy n dont u dare hurt her !!!!
I’m proud of her too!
Dara fighting we are here to support you(^_~)……………
You are a true Daraling! me too,lets support her!
ME TOO,KINDNA FISHY,i LIKE G-DRAGON BUT LIKE U SAID THERE ARE OTHER ARTIST TO PERFORM INSTEAD,I WOULD LIKE TO SAY MORE BUT I BETTER JUST KEEP MY OPINION TO MYSELF.
same here….
Yeah.. I feel the same way. I hope Dara will be able to go to the Philippines after Gd’s concert. She needs to be with her family. Waaahhh! GD why? Wrong timing? Hehe. Happy easter sunday!
oh yes Dara and Gd are f*cking each and they are in a relationship. there i said. so go be happy and spread the word. daragon is so true. let’s rejoice.

Aww I bet Dara was really excited to go support her brother instead. I mean, it’s not only to supportThunder, but to go back to her second home and be with her family.
Why can’t Taeyang or Epik High do it instead?
*excited
He can’t ask the other Big Bang members to perform instead? I know Dara really wants to go support her bro!
yah like yb or seungri or 2ne1 bom,they have a solo hit songs…

It’s because it’s his concert….YB and Seungri might steal some of the spotlight

idk. i just knew dara will come to g-dragon concert. hehehe..whether she wants it or not. but, i’m sure she’s torn between her brother and her sunbaenim ( g-dragon). she’a good sister, so she must support cheondong. anyways, gd need her MORE..
