YGLadies.com Translator’s Notes [Disclaimer]: Although there has been a lot of discussion going around Sandara as an actor lately, YG representatives have still not revealed where they stand in this casting. There is no indication of whether or not the situation differs greatly from when Sandara was considered for the position a couple of months ago however we are simply keeping you updated as we get news from nate and naver. 🙂

***

Oh Dara! Notes: There were various articles released today via Nate and Naver, and they contain differing information. Some of the articles say that Dara may be the one casted for the role in My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox, whereas some other articles say the opposite, that she’s not the lead girl for the same drama. Let’s not keep our hopes up. As much as we’d like her to be in a drama soon, it’s best for us to wait for official confirmation from YG and from Dara herself. Dara, fighting! 🙂

News: Sandara Park- Upcoming Star with Most Potential to Succeed

Will these new idols capture the movies screens sooner or later as well?

Even in the district of Chungmuro, there has been a lot of interest in idols. Last year, Ga-in (from Brown Eyed Girls) appeared in the movie “My Love by My Side” directed by Park Jinpyo, revealing a new side of her. In addition, Top from Big Bang who showed his acting skills in the KBS2TV Drama ‘Iris’, starred in the movie “Into the Fire” in the second half of the year.

‘Idols who are good at acting’ are considered as rising stars full of possibilities. Most recently, Sandara Park (2NE1) and Taeckyeon (2PM) are receiving much attention from the public.

The interest in Sandara Park has started from the moment she debuted. She has been quite in demand, not only for movies, but also for dramas. She made a short appearance in last year’s MBC Drama “The Return of Iljimae”.

Sandara Park was suggested for the female lead role in the Korean version of ‘Step Up’ as the role called for a girl with an elegant and bright charm. Recently, rumours have been going around that she will be playing the opposing role to a renowned actor. Sandara Park’s several strengths include her fresh and innocent appearance and star quality, her singing and dancing and of course, her experience within the acting industry. She is being singled out as an actor with the most potential to succeed of the moment.

Prior to that, YG Entertainment has already started their teaser marketing strategy by not revealing anything concrete. (Oh! It’s a “marketing strategy” now? And here I thought it was just YG being eccentric. Crazy me!) YG Entertainment‘s official website currently shows a broken TV screen with lots of static. After a few moments, a black background with the words, “Let’s Go Crazy Once More” written in white comes out, which captivated the eyes of many fans.

If a user clicks it, they are redirected to a me2day blog, which says, “April 19th, 10AM.” YG Entertainment has not released any statement over this, saying that it is part of their marketing strategy, evoking more curiosity from their fans.

Sandara Park‘s me2day was visited by many netizens, who left comments like, “Looks like Gummy’s comeback is imminent,” “Please give a hint on Gummy’s comeback. (As much as I looooovveeee Gummy, I love 2NE1 more, so Imma ask, WHEN ARE THE GIRLS COMING BACK?!?!?!)
