News: Sandara Park, “One More Year Left In Our Relationship Prohibition Period” (Interview)

4-member girl group 2NE1’s Sandara Park made a good-natured complaint about her future love life.

Sandara Park, who recently had an interview with Star News and several other media, said, “We are prohibited from entering into a love relationship, but together with Bom, that has been lessened until May next year,” she smiled while saying. Then she added, “But when the prohibition period has ended, will we really get boyfriends?” she said while laughing.

Sandara Park revealed that the love prohibition period was about not having any boyfriend for 5 years after their debut, which was a promise that YG Entertainment President, Yang Hyun Suk, had them make. 2NE1’s unnies, Sandara Park and Park Bom decided to honor that promise for the success of the team.

Yang Hyun Suk saw that after 2NE1’s debut in May 2009, they have continued to work hard, and because of the results that were more than what he expected, he reduced the period to three years. Thus, Sandara Park and Park Bom’s love relationship prohibition period will end on May 2012.

But, Sandara Park said that she will still continue to focus on 2NE1’s activities next year also, so with this situation, even after the love prohibition period has ended, she might be unable to have a boyfriend immediately, of which she complained about good-naturedly.

Although these days, Sandara Park has a very bright expression. She attributes this to 2NE1’s triumphs and successes.

From April to July of this year, 2NE1 has released five new songs simultaneously, “Don’t Cry,” “Lonely,” “I Am The Best,” “Hate You,” and “Ugly,” all of these songs have dominated music charts as soon as they were released. All of the songs in the recently released Mini Album Volume 2 are also getting a good response in offline sales.

Sandara Park said, “All the songs give off a different atmosphere. It’s like each of the songs can be enjoyed by everyone, so with that, it makes me feel good,” she said, “I am 2NE1’s Public Relations Director, and I will continue to work hard in order to meet the fans better in the future and to play even better,” she finished.

News: 2NE1 Talks About When They Feel The Most And Least Confident

The ladies of 2NE1 are now famous in the K-Pop industry for their confident style, but they still managed to turn quite a few heads when they came out with “Ugly“.

In their interview with OSEN, the girls were asked if they ever felt ‘ugly’ like in their lyrics. Fans were surprised to read Dara’s answer, who laughed, “Yes, when I’m wearing a feminine style. I’m always dressed like a man on stage, so I feel a loss of confidence when I’m wearing more feminine styles.”

Bom replied, “I don’t specially feel ugly or anything, but I don’t confidence when I get my song wrong.“ Minzy said, “I feel that way when I’m trying to improve and advance, but when it’s not going out the way I want it to.”

CL said, “I don’t feel especially ugly, but I do get into a slump sometimes. Like the lyrics of ‘Ugly’ state, I do feel lonely at times.”

In reverse, the girls were then asked for the time where felt that they were amazing. Bom said, “When I’m singing.  I love singing and I’m the most confident in it.“  Dara agreed, “It’s easy for me to feel confident when I’m on stage.  The shouts of our fans thrill me and I truly feel like I’m the best for the three minutes I’m on stage.”

Minzy expressed, “When I’m dancing to my solo part”, while CL said, “If I don’t feel confident on stage, then the people that are watching and listening to us won’t feel it either.  I have to be the best on stage so that the audience feels the same way.  I go up on stage thinking that I’m going to be the best.”
