Me2Day: Dara’s Freezing Fashion And Sheep Hairstyle: “I look Like Uhm Jung Hwa!”

LOL Dara is so cute! Even though she unintentionally dressed warmer than what was necessary when she left Korea, it came in handy since Japan is reallyyyyyy cold right now. XD Way to go Dara! ❤ Dara is also so cute and adorable in her next me2day update! It was taken right after the first YG Family Concert (Japan) in Saitama Arena. She’s dressed in official goodies! So cute!

Update #1:

와쌉! 굿모닝~!^_^ㅋ 쌩얼로 출국하는게 못마땅한 달옹ㅋ 날씨도 안추웠는데 본의아니게 꽁꽁패션으로 출국하다!ㅋ 근데 일본 도착하니까 넘 춥더라구요~ 비도오구요~! 후덜덜! 오늘과 내일 도쿄에서 와쥐빼밀리 마지막 콘서트가 있지요!!!사이타마 슈퍼 아레나로~ 카몬!+.+

와쥐팸콘 마지막 라운드! 즐겁게 즐겨보아요! 능력자분들 일어로 번역 오네가이시마스! ^.^

Wassup! Good morning~! ^_^ Ke Darong who doesn’t feel satisfied going out while freezing and with my no make-up face on Ke Although the weather is not really that cold, I unintentionally still put on my “freezing” fashion (T/N: clothes appropriate for reallyyyy cold weather)! Ke However, when we arrived in Japan, it was really cold~ And even raining~! *shiver shiver*! It’s the final concert for YG Family in Tokyo, today and tomorrow!!! Saitama Super Arena~ Come on! +.+

Tags: YG Fam Con’s last round! It would be really, really, really fun! Those who have the ability to translate to Japanese, please do so! ^.^

Update #2:

몰라~ 알쑤가 없어!!!ㅋㅋ달옹의 앵콜패션!ㅋ앵콜땐 콘서트 굿즈를 이용하여 자유로운 패션으로 무대에 서죠!오늘은 와쥐패밀리 수건으로다가~어떡게 응용할까?목에두를까 바지에 달까 머리에 쓸까?하다가 양머리로 결정!ㅋ엄정화언니 닮았나용?+.+막이뤠!^^;;이히히 몰롸아~!

I don’t know~ Really, no way of knowing!!! Ke ke Darong’s encore fashion! Ke During the concert’s encore, I had on a casual fashion using the concert goods! How should I use the ~ YG Family towel for today? Should I put it around my neck, tie it to my pants, or put it on my head? After trying things out for a while, I have finally made my decision to do sheep hairstyle! Ke Don’t I look like Uhm Jung Hwa-unnie? +.+ Right! ^^;; Ehehe I don’t knooowww~!

T/N: Dara’s mention of  “I Don’t Know” refers to Uhm Jung Hwa’s song of the same title. Uhm Jung Hwa, who is Dara’s idol, had her head tied in buns on the side for that song, kinda like what Dara did for her towel, which incidentally also looks like a sheep’s horn, thus “sheep hairstyle” . XD

Photos: More BTS Shots of Dara for Etude CF

My oh my she is so adorable! Time and time again we have said that in no way does Dara look her age. These photos add more evidence to that! She looks so cute and adorable and way younger than her back-up dancers. Who can ever say that this teenage-looking-woman is 28 years old? I’m pretty sure we all can’t wait for this CF!

Photos: Exclusive 2NE1 Takes NYC Photoshoot from MTV Iggy

They’re here! The photos are finally here! Check out our exclusive photoshoot with Dara, CL, Bom, and Minzy, taken at the penthouse of the Mondrian hotel. The girls were in NYC for the MTV Iggy concert, their first step toward world domination.

A conventional shoot against a white paper backdrop takes an unpredictable turn as the girls tear through the staid setting and rush outside to the rooftop terrace. They look like giants, looming above the skyscrapers, silhouetted in incandescent golden rays as the sun slips behind the Manhattan skyline.

(They look like conquering heroes, but do you know the girls were actually freezing to death?)

Photo: 2NE1 with George Williams for NHK “Hot Asia”

It took me a while to figure out who George Williams was. ^_^ He was the one who interviewed 2NE1 for NHK “Hot Asia”. He is a “media star” in Japan and is considered one of the ground breaking leaders in new media in Japan. He is an MTV VJ, a DJ for InterFM and he also works in NHK.
