Feature: MBLAQ’s Mir shows his Fandara

Mir & Chundoong at a show recording

MBLAQ’s Mir has always made it clear that he admires Chundoongie’s Dara noona. He’s made a few appearances on Oh Dara before because he is adorable, and because he is a fan and has no shame about saying so. In an interview in the first month of MBLAQ’s debut, Chundoong talked about his noona and Mir repeatedly said that Chundoong’s noona is cool. Haha.

In any case, Mir makes his appearance again on this blog because he was asked a cute question and answered very funny and cute with CeCi magazine (the August issue), mentioning Dara. Excerpt is below:

Q. Thunder and Mir’s sister become members of MBLAQ one day. Who would be the now-coed 7-membered MBLAQ’s leader? And who would be the person enjoying the situation the most?

The leader would still be SeungHo hyung. His personality is well-suited for a leader. He’s scary. The person who likes it most would be me. Dara nuna is coming♥

Feature: Sandara at 2NE1’s Interview for ‘Vogue Girl’

SANDARA

Vogue Girl(AKA V.G.): 2NE1’s photo shoot concept this time of an inner feminine beauty had sprung up from a comment by Sandara saying, “Now I also want to do a pretty photo shoot,” did you know that?

Sandara: I said that comment because until now, we’ve only done photo shoots with a very fierce image. On stage, there’s no chance of wearing fluttery clothing, so at least in a photo shoot I wanted to try this transformation.

VG: You had been very dormant in your activities for a while, but I was hearing news about Sandara every day. Since your me2day updates were so frequent.

S: me2day has been one of my biggest interests lately! When I find something fun, the first thought I get is that I should take a picture of it and post it up, and when I don’t find anything for a few days, I wonder if I should just make some scene to post, haha. It’s an addiction.

VG: Aren’t you a bit disappointed, since every update becomes a news article? Some reporters seem to just sit around waiting for ‘Reporter Sandara Park’’s news report.

Feature: Ex-PBB teen housemate Jenny Kim considers Sandara Park an inspiration

Source: abs-cbn.com

Excerpts taken from the article above [with translations]:

But for a pure Korean who is now based in the Philippines, Jenny, or Jin Sol Kim considers Sandara Park, now known worldwide as the member of Korean pop girl group 2NE1, as a huge inspiration. “Natutuwa ako kapag napapanood ko siya. [I feel happy whenever I get to watch/see her] I feel proud to be a Korean and also to be here sa [in the] Philippines. Nasa Korea na si Sandara [Sandara is already in Korea] and she’s making people there very happy but at the same time pati ‘yung mga Filipino dito at ‘yung ibang Korean na nandito na proud din sa success niya. [… both Filipinos and Koreans here are also proud of her success.] Sana ma meet ko siya one day.” [I hope to meet her someday]

Sandara and her Korean family had been living in the Philippines for some time when she joined the reality search Star Circle Quest in 2004. Though she only finished as a runner-up in the competition, Sandara managed to enjoy a successful career in showbiz, doing teleseryes and movies. A couple of years later, she and her family decided to go back to Korea where she became part of 2NE1. Her singing and dancing training in ABS-CBN became her edge to establish a career in Korea.

Thanks to zaizai and contessa for the tip 🙂

I agree with some of your comments but let’s refrain from bashing, please. I also don’t agree with some statements in the article (by abs-cbn.com) but those are all in the past now.  Let’s just focus on the fact that Dara is an inspiration. 🙂 Peace and love y’all. <333

Video: U-Kiss’ Kevin wants to date Dara ^.^

U-Kiss had been to Singapore just recently and in an interview, they were asked the ultimate question (lolololol): “If there was just one Korean female celebrity that you could date, who would it be and why?”

And Dara’s oh so loyal and oh so consistent fanboy, U-Kiss’ Kevin, didn’t fail us (and Dara 😉 ). He once again answers Dara as his style of girl at around the 2:21 mark.
