2NE1 Sandara Park talks about the opportunity she was given to be a singer.

For the 2nd episode of Strong Heart aired on SBS on 13th October, Sandara Park said, “I came down to Korea from the Philippines and Yang HyunSeok who trains singers in Hiphop music told me, ‘You cannot be a singer’.”

She added, “So he persuaded me to do acting. And then when they decided to form a new girlgroup, I was anticipating but I was not given any opportunities to practise.”

“And there was once a chance where I can go sing at the karaoke with Se7en and GDragon. I thought if I do well at the karaoke session, I may be given some opportunity. So I prepared a song and went with them and the atmosphere was fun and then I said ‘I want to try for once’.”

She continued, “After a few days, I filmed in the practice room and showed to president Yang and for the first time he said, ‘I saw potential in you. I am going to give you a month’s time’. And with that I became a singer.”

Meanwhile, during the episode, the 2NE1 members each revealed some truthful talks and also powerful dance performances.

Jewelry’s Seo In Young vs. 2NE1 Sandara Park

Probably not so much of an “idol” anymore, Seo In Young of Jewelry has recently celebrated her 7th year post debut with the release of a new album, Vari2ty. She had also gained a nickname of a “witch,” after revealing her wickedly charming appearance on variety show MBC We Got Married. Although she has a rich history as a celebrity, she is actually pretty young at age 25. Now, let’s get to Dara of idol girl group 2NE1. With 2NE1 refreshing sense of music and fashion, it is easy to assume Dara an adolescent girl. As we often see her act like a little kid on camera, Dara’s actual age is almost too shocking to be true! Born in 1984, she shares the quarter-century mark with Seo In Young.

P.S.First time I saw 2NE1 I thought she was the youngest but not just me,  surprisingly a lot of netizens thought she was the maknae of 2NE1 until now.
