2NE1 Sandara Park‘s unchanging appearance has become an internet hot issue.

Recently, a post was made on an online community board with the title, “The difference between a 27-year-old and a 30-year-old,” showing screencaptures of Sandara Park in a TV show 3 years ago and pictures of her at the airport returning to Japan on the 9th.

The first photos showed a 27-year-old Sandara Park in 2010, as she appeared on a television broadcast. On that scene, she was proudly showing the hat that was a gift to her from Big Bang’s Taeyang. Sandara Park was showed her adorable and attractive charms with her cute smile, as she voiced out her gratitude to Taeyang for the warm hat that he had gifted her with.

The photos that followed showed a more recent picture of Sandara Park, but still wearing the same hat that she did in 2010. These photos were taken at the airport when she arrived back to Korean from Japan, where she went to watch Se7en‘s concerts there on the 7th and 8th. Sandara Park’s clean skin and good looks were clearly shown.

There’s a three-year difference between the pictures, but people were surprised when they saw the photos and saw that there was no change between this person in her 20s and in her 30s. Netizens who saw the post commented with, “This is a bit scary,” “She even appears younger in her 30s,” “Sandara Park doesn’t seem to grow old,” “She really does appear to get even younger-looking as the years pass. It’s a bit creepy,” “While other people seem to sag by the time they reach their late 20s, Sandara Park seems to do the opposite,” “Why does looking at this make feel a bit angry?” showing their various reactions.

Note: I think the “anger” in the title and the comment, meant that they’d be a bit jealous, ergo “mad” at Dara for not looking older even as time passes.. XD

News: 2NE1, G-Dragon and Lee Hi to Come Back with Albums this March?

20130202_ygentertainment

According to YG Entertainment, March will be a busy month for the agency as they plan to put out three albums!

We are already expecting ‘monster rookie’ ‘Lee Hi‘s album in March, but according to a statement by Yang Hyun Suk himself, there are also two more albums in store, one from G-Dragon, and one from2NE1.

Yang Hyun Suk has directly participated in the recording process and music video filming of Lee Hi’s newest song, which he believes will be an even bigger hit than “1,2,3,4“. “Personally, I think it’s even better than ’1,2,3,4′. As one listener, it seems like when I’m highly satisfied with something, the fans also have positive responses to it as well… Lee Hi’s tone and her feel possess individuality and charm that are hard to find in other singers, and we have found a song that suits her perfectly,” he commented.

Apparently, joining Lee Hi with her March comeback will be G-Dragon with his new solo album, and 2NE1′s long-awaited comeback album. Yang Hyun Suk shared, “YG style is one in which we try to hurry as much as possible, but never so in a way that we harm the completion level of a project to meet a set date… We want to make the albums being released in March, from G-Dragon, 2NE1, as well as Lee Hi, to be ones that fans will want to keep and cherish.”

Although the agency had previously mentioned a solo album for Taeyang was getting ready for release, along with 2NE1′s album, back in 2012, it seems plans have changed for G-Dragon is said to be the one releasing a solo album in March.

The agency is also busy preparing their new girl group, as well as the solo debut of Kang Seung Yoon, and their upcoming boy group, putting a lot on their plate.

On the topic of their rookies, a representative from the agency commented, “Rookie groups are directly managed by Yang Hyun Suk for about three years. After that, he lets them be self-reliant and entrusts them with the responsibility. YG’s method is like that of a parent who protects and teaches their children, and after three years, as they become adults, lets them reach toward their dreams on their own. “

Given the agency’s history with delayed releases, do you think we will be seeing three albums from them in March? Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

News: Big Bang and 2NE1 Become Mentors for Donation Project for Nepal

Big Bang and 2NE1 Become Mentors for Donation Project for Nepal

51328503

Big Bang and 2NE1 will be starting off the new year as teenage donation mentors.

The two groups have decided to join as mentors for a project in which teenagers have been donating funds for other neglected children.

Goodway With Us, a donation website, announced on January 16 that Big Bang and 2NE1 decided to join its Nepal Hope School Project.

Big Bang and 2NE1 apparently agreed that teenagers are what make the world a better place, and decided to join in a campaign to build schools in the otherwise isolated cities of Nepal. The signed CDs and t-shirts that the groups have provided will be delivered to lucky supporters who donate for the cause.

A rep from Goodway With Us said, “We believe the way Big Bang and 2NE1 have shown support for and interest in donating for the needy will set a great example for teenage fans everywhere.”

An official from YG Entertainment said in return, “We′ve come all this way thanks to the love of many people, so we′ve decided to start off the new year by sharing. We hope many people join in to add more meaning to the act.”

Goodway With Us is a company that acts as a bridge between youths and industries, educators and mentor groups. When teenagers and college students come up with new ideas for supporting the needy, it forwards the ideas to organizations that have the power to realize those ideas.

The project that Big Bang and 2NE1 have joined is taking place at the cloud funding site Incujector online. Details can be found at the Goodway With Us webpage or the Incujector webpage.

News: 2NE1 Adores Lee Hayi, the Youngest YG Artist in 5 Years

Who wouldn’t adore Lee Hayi? She’s just too cute and very talented too! ^^ I remember watching her train in front of YG, CL, Bom, Dae, and YB during KPOPSTAR. And now, she’s a part of the YG Family. Woooot! Go Hayi! <333

2NE1 Adores Lee Hayi, the Youngest YG Artist in 5 Years

398091_192386684226344_1746337315_n

Recently, the popular girl group 2NE1 is busy treasuring Lee Hayi. They’re not only helping her out with their know-hows about singing and dancing lessons, but they’re also teaching her their hard-earned first hand experiences in staying fit and dieting as her seniors. Why? Because Lee Hayi is the one who replaced 2NE1’s 5-year-long position in their agency as the youngest artists.

According to an insider, 2NE1 and Lee Hayi became as close as sisters during the process of switching their hit songs and performing them at the end-of-the-year MBC ‘Gayo Daejaejun’. Through last year’s ‘Gayo Daejaejun’, 2NE1 performed Lee Hayi’s debut song ‘1,2,3,4’ and Lee Hayi performed 2NE1’s mega hit ‘I Love You’ and then sang all together, showcasing the quintessence of collaboration stages.

YG Entertainment stated that 2NE1 grew to adore Lee Hayi during their Gayo Daejaejun practice, as they began to see Lee Hayi’s genuine and humble attitude, as well as her determination in maintaining her direction in music.

2NE1 hasn’t had much interaction with other celebrities because they seldom appeared in TV variety shows or other activities outside their group so far. The insider says, “It’s no surprise that 2NE1 loves the only junior artist and adorable girl that Lee Hayi is, considering the fact that even under the YG Family BIGBANG has been a senior and male group and Gummy is an even higher-up senior to 2NE1, which made it difficult for them to approach them easily.”

Meanwhile, Lee Hayi the rookie who swept the music industry with her debut during the last half of 2012 has a new album release ahead, and 2NE1 is also about to have a comeback during the first half of this year.
