Awww! Our ChaeRa looks so lovely for Nikon! ^_^ Love both their smiles!
Click the link below to see CL’s photo! ^_^
Earlier, the girls performed at Silla University, Busan. I wonder if Dara visited her birthplace or her relatives in Busan. To those who don’t know, Dara is a Busan girl! Kekeke! Her outfit reminds me so much of 2NE1’s “I Don’t Care” days. I miss her style during those times so much! Yay! Her hair is part down and she is wearing high waisted pants!
According to @S_Bar_pinky, during 2NE1’s event at Silla University, they mentioned that they are preparing hard for their comeback and that Silla University was their last event before their comeback! Wow! I am getting so pumped up for 2NE1’s comeback. How about you guys?
These are OMG photos of Dara at Gimpo Airport when 2NE1 was on their way to Jeju Island! ^_^ She looks so beautiful! I love her new hair! The color matches her perfectly and it allows her face to shine more! Wow! Just wow!

Jay is a certified Blackjack!!! If you remember, we posted a video of him singing 2NE1’s IATB. And now, he admitted on his twitter account that he is indeed a 2NE1 fan! He even described each member! Cute fanboy! Kekeke! ^_^
(A/N: Jay McGuiness is one of the members of the British-Irish band, The Wanted.)
Watch Jay singing a bit of IATB after the cut. ^^

Dara, Bom, CL & More Girl Group Members From Abroad Thrive in K-Pop
Dara, Bom, CL & More Girl Group Members From Abroad Thrive in K-PopAs K-Pop goes global at furious speed, who are the girl group members that are thriving in this fast changing industry?
The recently unveiled T-ara member Dani grew up in America since she was four years old. She’s tall and beautiful and it’s hard to imagine she’s still only a kid. Some netizens have said, “She’s probably 15 years old since she lived in America”, and they couldn’t hide their amazement at how mature Dani looks. She is the latest addition to the girl group members to come from abroad.
In the ‘National Girl Group’ Girls’ Generation there are members Jessica and Tiffany who are from abroad. It isn’t that these girls have American names for style, but these two were actually born and raised in America. Their impact on the team was deeply appreciated when Girls’ Generation officially kicked off their international promotion and the two members were able to lead series of interviews in fluent English.
In Wonder Girls there are members Yubin and Hyerim. Yubin joined the group to replace an outgoing member and she had made a strong impression with her rapping skills in English. Hyerim goes a notch further with her ability to speak Korean, English, Mandarin, and Cantonese fluently.
Group Kara has members Nicole and Han Seung Yeon who’ve lived abroad. Nicole was born in America and early on as a member of Kara she was loved by the viewers of KBS ‘Golden Bell’ for her cute Korean pronunciation. She contributed in a big way to increase the popularity of Kara in Korea.
2NE1 is another group with many members who’ve come from abroad. Out of the 4 members CL, Park Bom, and Sandara Park have lived outside of Korea. Sandara Park was famously known as ‘Boa of Philippines’ before she debuted and CL speaks English, French, and Japanese fluently. CL is always leading the interviews when the group is promoting abroad.
Lastly, f(x) has three members from abroad. Krystal and Amber were born in America and Victoria is a Chinese national. Combined, f(x) members can speak Korean, English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
In a recent broadcast of KBS ‘Win Win’ Boa has mentioned how difficult it was to learn English and Japanese so she could promote internationally. As K-Pop goes global it is only natural that K-Pop groups are made of members of diverse background and having international members can become a big advantage as these groups branch out internationally.

Sandara Park and SHINee root for Park Tae Hwan and Jung Da Rae
A video of 2NE1′s Sandara Park and SHINee cheering for Park Tae Hwan and Jung Da Rae, members of the South Korean national swimming team, is getting a lot of attention.
In the video, Sandara Park appears and says hello to Park Tae Hwan. She also roots for Park saying, “Marine boy Park Tae Hwan, you are the best in and out of the water.”
Since Park Tae Hwan previously appeared on a TV show and said that his ideal woman is Sandara Park, the video has received even more attention. Sandara Park also appeared on the show and gave him a handmade swimming cap.
SHINee cheered for beautiful swimmer Jung Da Rae. Group members appear in the video and say, “You look great when you swim. I will support you as you set a new record and capture the world in summer that you have been preparing for 4 years.”
People who saw the video responded: “I hope Park Tae Hwan can win a gold medal!” “Everyone wishes you the best results.” “Cheer up, all the members of the national team!”
Watch SHINee cheering for the athletes after the cut! ^^
