SM: Which K-Pop star do you admire as of the moment?
Flowsik: I really like Sandara Park from 2NE1. She’s so talented and has so much swag – I would really love to collaborate on a song with her.
Thanks to the grace and love of @MamaWowa, we were able to prepare gifts for Dara, 2NE1 and Dadoong as they storm New York for MTV Iggy’s Best New Band Concert 2011.
Here are some of the gifts lovingly prepared by @MamaWowa:

We all know that Flowsik of AZIATIX is a Dara fanboy. In this interview, he again shows us that his heart hasn’t changed. AZIATIX was asked if they liked any girl groups and Flowsik said that he likes 2NE1. He then goes on to say that he likes Sandara Park then he goes, “Hi Sandara, come to me!” He then continued on to say that, “I like San… 2NE1…” You can check out that part of their interview at around 9:00 mark of the video.
This was the very first time that Flowsik said that he has a crush on Sandara Park from 2NE1! Check the video at around 5:10 mark.

Etude and Annika – Wannabe Collection
This is my collaboration with Etude House, a collection of make-up called “Wannabe Collection”; highlighters, eyeshadows, fake eyelashes, perfumed nailpolish, fake nails and other yummy-looking things that just got released. Here is a good look on how receiving an order of the packages looks like. To see more about the designs of my Wannabe-collaboration, have a look here.
STYLING DARA LIKE MY EMMA CHARACTER FOR ETUDE
Styling like my Emma-drawings; the model happens to be no other than the pop star Dara from the very popular, fashionable and fun korean group 2NE1.
I swear! This fan-account is just to die for! Dara is the sweetest and most precious girl ever! Read this fan-account shared to us by Oh, My Goddess in order to see how breathtakingly beautiful Dara is inside and out!
The fan account will be rephrased a little and a few details will be added here and there in order for all of you guys to understand better.
Dara looked for Oh, My Goddess via me2day. No one was replying from Oh, My Goddess because they weren’t online so Dara asked another fan who always goes with Oh, My Goddess every single time. Dara looked for Oh, My Goddess because she wanted to say something to them. Dara said that she had something to ask OMG. She said, “You guys always receive my signature, right? But my sign is not pretty and it is ugly because I write it quickly because there is no time… I feel really sad about that… TT TT So I want to ask where do you use them? Keke”
It turns out, Dara felt bad about giving the fans “ugly” signatures that’s why she tried to look for Oh, My Goddess so that she can give them better-looking signatures. (Insert all the oohhhh, ahhhhh and awwwwws here!) Dara said, “Ahha~! I bet all our members think the same way as me!!! You guys always come out to meet us when we are tired, so we want to give you a good sign, not like those ugly signs. We feel really sorry and uncomfortable about giving those ugly ones. TT TT”
YOU CAN READ THE FULL FAN ACCOUNT HERE!!!
Includes sweet airport and me2day moments!
Yes my dear Daralings! Dara actively sought out and looked for Oh, My Goddess because she feels bad that she gives them “ugly” autographs. What idol does that? Dara actually feels bad that she didn’t give them “pretty” autographs.
Awwww Dara! You’re probably one of the few idols who practices signatures because you worry about giving fans ugly ones. You’re probably the ONLY idol who actively seeks out fans just because you feel bad that you gave them ugly ones. You’re probably the only idol who says sorry to the fans you give signatures to, because you think it’s ugly. Don’t. We love your signature may it come in whatever shape, size or form.
Dara-yah, you are so precious!
And this is why I am a fan.

[FANACCOUNT] When we were getting sign, we asked her for any comment, but Dara didn’t know what to write so she was like “What should I write, oh, what should I write” then the manager just pulled her but later we asked her to say sth to our fancam so she said “OMG thank you~” By.Ohmygoddess
[FANACCOUNT] Today OMG( @OMG_SANDAR & @OMG_SODA) gave Dara cup noodles and a cup cake!! She was in a very very good mood~ She answered all our questions(Details will be uploaded later^^) and even said Hi to our fancam^___^ She smiled the whole time and looked very happy and joyful!! xD

As a CNN Anchor, Veronica Pedrosa won the Best News Anchor by the 2004 Asia Television Awards. Recently as an Al Jazzera correspondent, she meets Imelda Marcos takes a journey back to the country she was exiled from when she was just a child.

Hands down, she’s the winner. Julie Anne is a fast-rising star who is ready to take over Manila and the rest of the world by storm.
There’s no doubt about it. Women everywhere are vital players in each and every society. When it comes to leadership, sports, entertainment, business, and politics, women now have the authority and power to nurture and shape different industries. They are the top innovators, movers, and shakers of this century. Women have broken new ground in diverse areas of expertise – therefore making them the visions of a new generation.
“When you look at the 10 personalities in this list, it’s apparent that women are making a buzz,” says Women Leaders Director Frank Mercado. “It’s clear to see that more and more women are achieving significant success.”
The list was gathered in light of the forthcoming Women Leaders conference in Manila, Philippines. Women at the Top 2012 is the best avenue for women to share their stories and inspirations. This conference aims to highlight the progress in the lives of women around the world. This conference is all about breaking boundaries and barriers, and fostering relationship among the women leaders of today. Women Leaders applaud women from all over the world for liberating the female gender identity.
The conference will be composed of some of the world’s top business women, women leaders, entrepreneurs, and women who accomplished the fields of information technology, beauty, fashion, music, the arts, sport, science and government. The exchange of ideas will put its center of attention on what women want in terms of a holistic lifestyle as they increasingly achieve and progress towards positions of power, wealth and influence. Women at the Top 2012 actively seeks topnotch visionaries and jet-setters from different countries and from a broad array of fields and business sectors.

You might think Jersey Shore, Teen Mom and their siblings are the future of the “Music TV” Network. Often times we wonder where music videos fit into the MTV picture in a world of YouTube, Vevo and more. You’ll definitely see the top pop-sensations each year at the VMAs, but when you truly think about where the top innovations in the music world are coming from — you don’t always think MTV.
Take an extremely passionate, 16-year MTV employee, whose love for MTV, David Bowie and American culture brought him from India and Dubai to the Big Apple years ago, and you have MTV Iggy, the new global music brand and incubator MTV has cultivated under the leadership of now-35-year-old Nusrat Durrani, SVP and GM of MTV World.
The social media impact Iggy’s had since the launch on September 26 has been quite good: Facebook updates have garnered over 4.5 million post views; Facebook fan interactions and feedback have more than doubled, with an increase of over 136%; MTV Iggy’s Facebook and Twitter accounts have doubled and tripled in fans, with 114% and 235% increases, respectively; the social media platforms have a truly global following with top Facebook fan countries being from: USA, Mexico, India, Venezuela and Pakistan.
Described as a “multi-platform music brand connecting America with global artists and pop culture phenomena,” MTV Iggy recently announced that it crowd Korean pop sensation 2NE1 as The Best New Band in the World 2011 after a six-week “social media-intensive” search.
We talked to Nusrat Durrani about the new MTV brand and its social media-driven approach.
2NE1 was selected as MTV x DAM WANNASING’s Artist of the Month for the month of December! Yay! You go girls!
Thanks to the efforts and love of Blackjacks, Daralings and Dara Lovers all around the world, not only was #2NE8DARA able to trend but Sandara Park trended as well!!!
#2NE8DARA was able to trend around 10-15 minutes after we started trending and a few minutes after that, Sandara Park followed! What is more awesome is that #2NE8DARA trended for a little over an hour while Sandara Park trended for almost 2 hours! How amazing is that?!?! The love for our amazing Goddess is indeed overwhelming! In our own little way, we hope we were able to bring a smile on Dara’s face!
Before I end this post, I would like to leave a contest entry from unknown_lurker about why she loves Dara!
I don’t know why I kept defending her on 2ne1′s vids, I don’t know why I kept following her every move. I certainly cannot point out any reason as to why I have this urge to be “protective” of her and to defend her from those unforgiving comments that I often see directed to her…heck, I don’t even know why I never fail to check up on news of her and become somewhat pissed at the little lines she had seemingly been given in their songs (which I often than not don’t mind since as someone else put, she’s had the more memorable ones to boot). Even at times, I don’t know why I suddenly feel my heart ache seeing her cry. But I guess, I see myself in her.
She knows she’s not the best, yet she goes on to improve more. Whenever she smiles in pictures or videos, there’s this happy, tingling feeling inside, as if I also become happy myself.
Perhaps I could only come up with one conclusion in all these: “SandaraPark– no matter the titles she hold, in the end, isSandaraPark”. She is human – fragility and all. She has this aura of gentleness – with her ever beaming smile plastered on her face, as if saying “don’t give up and choose to be happy, choose to follow your dreams”. She embodies this “familiar” feeling in her that makes any fan feel comfortable around her (though her awkwardness towards co-artists is really something amusing). It is perhaps this approachableness – optimism and drive – her humanity – that made me feel those things towards her.
She does not know each one of us personally, yet she’s always one to reach out to us. She may never remember the faces or the names but seeing her give her all on their performances and show a portion of her life to us makes me appreciate her all the more.
When all the glitz and glamour fade or wherever place life takes her, she’ll remain loved. Honestly, as lots of people here pointed out, in a simple answer to the query “why do you love dara?”, I’ll answer what Denis Cooverman replied to Beth Cooper:
“What’s not to love?”
