Kpop stars and Korean actors having many international fans is not a new phenomenon. However, what is interesting now is that each continent have different Hallyu star preferences.
Arirang TV is broadcasted in 188 countries all over the world. Last month, they conducted a survey with 699 Hallyu fans, and the results from the said survey revealed were interesting.
On the survey question of “Which girl group song do you want to dance the most to?” SNSD’s “The Boys” was the top choice, with 21% of the boys, followed by 2NE1’s “I Am The Best” with 19.5%. Broken down into continents, in Asia, “The Boys” was on top with 23.7% of the votes, while “I Am The Best” got 19% of the votes; however, in North and Latin America there was a slight difference, as “I Am The Best” was on top. In Europe also, “I Am The Best” got 23% of the votes, while “The Boys” got 12%.
The question about looks also garnered different results in the different continents. When asked which star had the best appearance, 2NE1 member, Sandara Park, ranked as number 1, with 24.5% of the votes, while Super Junior member, Lee Teuk, came in second, with 22.2% of the votes. Asia and Europe had the same results, with Sandara Park on top, but in North and Latin America, Lee Teuk came out as the top star, with 23.7% of the votes.
For the “Female Hallyu star with the most perfect body” survey question, 4Minute member HyunA got the most votes with 13.9%, followed by SNSD’s Yuri, and After School’s UEE. In Asia however, UEE and Yuri both got number 1, followed by Yuri, and actress Shin Min Ah was also voted on top. In Europe, HyunA, Yuri, and Sistar member, Hyorin, ranked respectively. On the other hand, for North and Latin America, the female Hallyu Star with the best body was 2NE1’s Park Bom, followed by Sistar’s Hyorin, and SNSD’s Yuri.
So basically, it’s:
<The world’s best-looking star>
International response:
1st place – 2NE1 Sandara Park (24.5%)
2nd place – Super Junior Lee Teuk (22.2%)
Asia:

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk (43) publicly declares that he doesn’t find 2NE1 pretty.
On the 21st, Yang Hyun Suk appeared as the guest on the SBS show, “Healing Camp.” When asked by the show MCs, “What criteria do you have in choosing artists?” the YGE CEO replied with, “The rumors that I did not look at appearances when choosing 2NE1 and Big Bang are not true, in reality, I do look at appearance also. During audtions I also look at their appearance, aside from the voices,” he confessed.
Comparing them to other girl groups, the looks of YG’s girl group, 2NE1, is surely different, and he says that he is aware of the comments. In fact, Yang Hyun Suk said, “It’s true that 2NE1 are not pretty,” he said in his frank manner, drawing laughter from the MCs. He went on to say that, “In fact, 2NE1 members are not tall, and they don’t have average pretty faces. But more importantly, I think they’re cool.”
He goes on to say, “I think that a cool person is better than just being pretty,” he said, “2NE1’s CL and Gong Minzy have charisma. It’s cool. It’s my style,” he confirmed.

*Will edit this article if more come out. ^^*
Weeee! Round 3 is here! Now, it’s time to vote for the Arrangement Style! ^^ For this round, there’s only two options: Electro House type and R&B type! Check out the videos and the arrangements below!
Credits: 2NE1
Personally, I like the R&B type better, I feel that it would suit the song, kekeke! But, we can’t deny that 2NE1’s style leans more towards electro too. As of the making of this post, arrangement 1 is winning. So… Vote for number 2! Haha! I kid! ^^
Tell us what you think! Should it be arrangement 1 Electro House type, or arrangement 2 R&B type? Let’s all vote!
Also check out the Round 3 making film with the maknae line after the cut! It is made of so many levels of cuteness and fierceness! Check Minzy and CL out as they arrive in YGE building with swag, then chill, head to the practice room, BUST some serious moves, and then unwind! ^^
You can also check out the lyrics after the cut!
I’m glad that I took a breather before I decided to post this me2day update by Dara or else the entire post would be something along the lines of.. “OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! CRYING! CRYING! CRYING! T_______T”
But…. thankfully…. I let all my hyper emotions settle down first before posting Dara’s me2day! Well, DARA UPDATED WITH OHDARA AND WELOVEDARA’S GIFTS!!! Yehey! Together with our gifts, Dara also updated with gifts received from 2NE1CHINA and OH MY GODDESS! If you check out our PROJECT post above, you can see our gifts for Dara for 2NE1’s 3rd Anniversary. We are slowly sending the gifts in parts and thanks to OH MY GODDESS, they will give the gifts to Dara slowly for us.
In deciding on what gifts to give Dara, we took into careful consideration the fact that she truly loves personalized gifts. We already know how rich Dara is. She can basically afford almost anything that she wants. So, we decided to pour our heart and soul into making every single thing personalized. So, with the awesome creative ability of @BlackjackBelle, we decided to make Dara chibis from every single music video she has ever been in as well as almost every single endorsement she has ever been in. ^_^ That makes it around 22 MV Chibis and around 30 Endorsement Chibis. And thanks to the creative mind of @OhItslai, we also decided to make a Dara Planner. 365 Days of Dara goodness. ^_^ We still have more gifts up our sleeves which will be revealed later on.
After everything has been designed, we decided to have the designs printed out unto hoodies and shirts. But to make them more personalized, we had the chibis printed out in cloth too and we decided to make Dara Chibi Dolls which we personally handstitched and placed on top of the hoodies. Yup! Everything is personalized and made by the hands of Daralings!
We love Dara and we hope through our hard work and through little things, we can make her happy and let her feel how much she is loved! This me2day update is simply just a plus! ^_^

The 4 members of 2NE1, Gong Minzy, Sandara Park, Park Bom, and CL, would be releasing a new album and returning to the domestic fans after a year.
A representative from 2NE1‘s entertainment agency, YG Entertainment, told Star News on the afternoon of the 21st that, “2NE1 would be releasing a new Korean album in mid-June,” he said. The representative continued, “Producer Teddy has already completed 7 or more wonderful songs for 2NE1,” he revealed.
It’s been approximately 11 months since 2NE1 released “2NE1 2nd Mini Album” during July of last year, in Korea. In 2NE1’s 2nd mini album, their songs “Don’t Cry,” “Lonely” “I Am The Best,” “Hate You,” and “Ugly” all became great hits. As is expected from 2NE1, many of their songs become extremely popular every time they release a new album, and thus this news of a new album to be released locally has attracted a lot of interest.
YG Entertainment also said, “At present, 2NE1’s new album that is set for release hasn’t been finalized yet; we cannot confirm as to whether it will be a regular album, or a mini album,” he stated.
2NE1 is also scheduled to hold their second concert in July, a month or so after the release of their new album.
On August of last year, 2NE1 held their very successful first concert at the Seoul Olympic Hall in a span of three days. After concentrating on their advancement and promotions in Japan, along with their Nolza Japan concert tour, this meeting between 2NE1 and the domestic fans after a long time is something that is sure to have a lot of expectations.
YG Entertainment said, “We would be making an official announcement once the concert details become all fixed,” he continued, “We also hope that you all have fun with 2NE1 this summer,” he finished.
