Fan-Account/Fan-Taken: 130511 Wet and Beautiful Dara and 2NE1 in Super Live at Universal Studios Japan

Our girls performed 9 songs at Universal Studios Japan today to a live audience of around 6,000 people. It was raining/drizzling and our girls were soaked but everyone still had a lot of fun and enjoyed themselves.

They performed, Fire, Can’t Nobody, Lonely, Go Away, I Am The Best, Clap Your Hands, UGLY, I Love You and I Don’t Care. The show lasted for more or less an hour. The girls also mentioned that their release of their album is close! Comeback will be happening soon!

The posts below will just be a summary of all the fan accounts today:

  • Sesame street characters helped 2NE1 get their hand prints on clay for Universal Studios’ Hollywood Walk of Fame. The girls removed the rings from their fingers but since Dara only had one ring on, she took that off and her watch as well. Dara tried to press really hard on the clay so the Cookie Monster character went to her and helped her by pushing her shoulders down.
  • Dara spoke a lot of Japanese today and really made an effort. At one point, Dara did a “Dumpling Gag” and started saying, “dumplings dumplings dumplings dumplings”.  Its a “Mandu Gag” in Korea but instead of saying “Mandu” over and over again, Dara said “Gyoza”. It was cute and maybe slightly embarrassing  which made CL really embarrassed and CL-roo apologized for her. This was all so cute.
  • Dara looked really great despite being wet. 
  • When the rain started to get heavier, Dara asked the audience if they would stay and she told the rain to go away. 
  • Everytime Dara would speak, CL would look at her and smile. (Mi ChaeRa amore!)
  • Dara really talked a lot in Japanese today. It seems she has been working really hard on her Japanese.
  • Hitomi, (@tonyaa1217ton) made a Kiiroitori’s fan, Dara saw it and asked her to throw it to the stage. It dropped onto ground n Dara showed disappointment. T_T
  • At one point during the show, the host asked the girls what they wanted to do in Universal Studios. Dara said she wanted to ride the roller coaster.
  • During the introduction, Dara said, “Although I’m fresh Dara, but today I’m Dara, who’s good in Japanese.”
  • The host asked 2NE1 what it is they couldn’t live without… Dara said, “Ah my family members and also our fans.”

Here are photos from the event!

Twitter/Cap: Ex-Congressman Teddyboy Locsin, Jr to Dara (@krungy21) – “Thank you for getting me elected to congress…”

Oh wow this is unexpected! Teddyboy Locsin, Jr. is a Philippine politician, lawyer, and journalist who served as congressman for the 1st district of Makati from 2001 to 2010. He currently does the editorial segment titled “Teditorial” for ANC’s nightly newscast, The World Tonight.

In the Philippines, it is common for local celebrities to endorse certain candidates and help them campaign. It seems Dara campaigned for him back when she was still a celebrity in the Philippines around year 2007.

He is also following Dara’s twitter account.

Article: Which Female Idol Has the Most “Innocently Royal” Face? – Dara at #2

Which Female Idol Has the Most “Innocently Royal” Face?

TcE7JNf

The cosmetics brand Regen Cosmetics recently polled 592 women in the 20 to 30 age demographic, “Which girl group member has an ‘innocently royal face’ with a sophisticated and noble look?“. Seohyun snagged the top spot receiving 51.3% of the vote. She was followed by Dara with 21.4%, third place went to Dasom with 13.1%, and Sunhwa was fourth with 12.6%.

After revealing the results of the poll, Regen Cosmetics said, “We were able to better understand the image that the public has of girl group members. Recently, skin that is clear and is lively is called the ‘innocently royal’ style. I think these girls like clear skin because it gives off a luxurious image.

The same article was posted in Yahoo Philippines but with a different title. There, the poll was called “The Best Pure-Hearted Girl”

Photos: 130510 Press Photos of Fashionista Dara at Incheon Airport Headed to Japan – Mesh Beanie Fashion!

I am loving, loving Dara’s airport fashion! She is just so unique and fun with it.. She never fails to amaze me! Today, she doesn’t have one of her usual “color points” (where a shock of color usually comes in the form of a shocking red/orange beanie or a shock of violet hair strip), but instead dons a very unique-looking beanie! If I had gone to the airport wearing that, I definitely would be arrested by the fashion police, but Dara pulls it off so effortlessly! Dara goes in a stripe fashion it seems with her striped top and beanie, paired off with gorgeous white belt and cropped jeans. And whoops, there’s her color point! Red, plaid Oxford shoes! 

Because of her fun and quirky fashion, Dara made it to BOTH Naver and Nate’s Main Page and trended at Nate’s Real-Time search as well.

Photo: Dara’s Super Sweet Message to Oh My Goddess

Dara’s Korean fansite, Oh My Goddess, recently celebrated their 4th Anniversary. At the airport today, Dara left them a message thanking and congratulating them for all their love and effort. At the same time, Dara also said that she feels sad that she can’t do anything for them. T_T Awww! How sweet is that? Our bias feels sad that she can’t do anything for her fans.

Dara-yah! Don’t feel that way. Seeing you smile and happy is really enough for us! Fighting! ^_^
