How cute are the BTS photos? ^_^ Adidas blogged about the shoot for Adidas Winter 2012. They said that it was right after 2NE1 made an appearance for Cannes Festival last June. They held it at Bormio, in Italy… The girls, because of their rigid schedules, only had 2-3 hours of sleep before the shoot, but the staff and photographer, Jason Joyce, was impressed by their professionalism and how they stayed enthusiastic and energetic throughout the shoot.

It was the first time that all the models for Adidas got together, and at first, it was awkward between our girls and the two great athletes, but in time, after the snowball fight scenes and other shoots, the atmosphere became warmer between them. ^^

Adidas blog also mentioned that Dara, who had a fierce, shaved haircut right before the shoot, donned a cute hat, and was all excited for a toboggan ride down the snowy slope. ^^

Check out BoMin’s photos after the cut!

We can’t confirm exactly for what event, but I guess we’ll learn tomorrow. ^^ Park sisters were seen out and about having a shipping date together. ^^ They looked around for a bit before parting ways. Dara went to an Adidas Originals store, and then went into a casino! Kekeke! ^^ I hope the girls enjoy their stay in Singapore! ^^

Being a Korean idol is difficult, but being part of a Korean idol group is even harder.

Korean idol groups can no longer be contented with just performing on stage. There’s a rising trend with a need for them to branch out in other areas, not only to make a name for their group, but also to let the audience get to know them individually — especially for those in big groups like Super Junior and ZE:A.

In recent years, Koreans coined the word ‘variety-dol’ to describe idols well-received on variety programmes because of their personalities, silver tongues or comedic timing.

The first few idols to be crowned ‘variety-dols’ were probably the members of legendary group Shinhwa, who dominated old-time variety shows such as X-Man where they showed TV audiences another side of themselves. Beast’s Yoseob was even quoted as saying, ‘Shinhwa members are variety-dols’ ‘textbooks’.’

Variety Programmes: 2NE1 TV, Strong Heart

Success rate: ★★★

Girl group 2NE1 is a rare sight on variety programmes, so when Dara and Bom first went onto talk show Strong Heart, fans were in for a treat.

Dara was pretty nervous when she was sharing her story then, but her confidence quickly grew as time went by. She even admitted that she had taken variety classes from senior Seungri (Big Bang) to prepare herself the night before.

The 28-year-old then told a funny story of how Taeyang (Big Bang) grabbed her neck and twirled her on the ground with a straight face and even added her own sound effects, causing the entire studio of guest stars to cackle along.

On 2NE1‘s own reality TV 2NE1 TV, Dara may be the group’s ‘visual’, but she sure didn’t mind showing her goofy side. With her years of experience in showbiz (Dara was previously a star when she lived in the Philippines), we say, give the girl more chances on variety programmes, she will do a fine job!

OMG, it’s been quite a while since I’ve watched vids of the girls performing, and once again, I am in awe of how much they totally BRING IT! ^^ The whole vid is great to watch, with the girls’ energetic performances. Watch at 9:06 of the vid, during Go Away, how Dara and the dancer play tug-of-war with her mic. XD

How cute is Dougie?! I can just imagine her snatching the bag away from Mingkki as soon as she sees it.. XD Wasn’t Minzy asking Dara for gifts to Dougie? This can be one of them then! Kekeke! And kudos to everyone who predicted that Mingkki would get the red bag! ^_^

Dara unnie bought this new bag for Minji-unnie, but Dougie really love this bag more ㅜㅜ

But in the end, Dougie will have it Ke ke ke
