Here are some translations of snippets of Dara’s talk during her Beat Radio session! ❤ Yes, I agree with the fans Dara, you should love yourself more.. ❤ Kekeke! And it is indeed a trip down memory lane, hearing all those unknown stories from when they were trainees.. I think it’s pretty awesome that CL thought that Dara’s recording was JLo singing! Kekeke! ^_^ And awww, I can just imagine Dara lugging around a broken guitar, and still practicing on it anyway (it’s a bit frustrating though because it never sounds right, I would know from experience.. T_T Dara’s passion though!).. I can just imagine wee Dara, Minzy, CL, and Bom helping each other out.. Awww.. I miss my OT4.. ❤

Dara: While reading letters from my Dara fans, I cry sometimes. They tell me to love myself more, so I will try to love myself.

We have many female fans. I think about 90% of our fans are female.

This song is most memorable for us. “Fire” We call it the heartbeat song. It’s already 6 years old. Listen~ Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh~ 2NE1

This is my favorite song by my favorite acoustic band in the Philippines. MYMP is known in Korea too, I hear it around.

If there is a boy I like, I want to sing these lyrics to them. If you have something going on with a guy, practice and sing it~

This song is Japanese. It’s from the movie Sun’s Song. I first found out about the singer songwriter YUI with this song.

I got into guitar from listening to this song and that is when I first became Ssancoustic.

It was when I was a trainee and I couldn’t afford a guitar so I carried around a broken one from my house.

I used to sing this song w/my members. I want to play guitar for you all~ I have a guitar now but it needs to be tuned~ so next time!

“Get Right” Its the song that made me who I am now. When I was a trainee, I sang this song and our CEO finally accepted me.

After singing this, the CEO said “Ok, Sandara you can practice with them.” My hip hop side came out with this song.

I was listening to my recording and CL asked me if it was Jennifer Lopez. But it was me~ I guess it sounded similar.

This is a song from last year about a first love. I think its so good and it fits with me. I have a question~ Are we first loves?

Blackjacks are my first love. I’m sure some came to 2NE1 from liking others~ and some who left us for others~ Come back home~

This is a song that I sang when I first dreamed of becoming a singer. As you know I am very shy and in my teens, I was even more shy.

I couldn’t even say hi and bye to my friends but I wanted to sing on stage so I gathered my courage and practiced this song.

“Gonna Tell Everybody” This song is also from my trainee days. Minzy recommended me this song. We split the parts and harmonized.

“Like a Star” The guitar and voice are so charismatic. Wouldn’t it sound nice if I sang it?

Oh when I was a trainee, I saw CL singing this and playing piano. Its hard to picture charismatic powerful CL singing it now, right?

“Umbrella” We practiced this song together as trainees. We sang it at our first radio and it was a hit so we did it on broadcast too.
