Dara truly is going out of her way to spread information regarding the devastation in the Philippines. Such a sweetheart! One of the many things that we love about her is that she never forgets and truly cherishes her past experiences including the country where she once called home. ^_^

Note: I tried to find the “right” translation for “Pagbangon” but somehow I can’t grasp it. The term, as used means getting up or rising after being down. Its about survival, resurrection, revival. It’s about rising up after much devastation.

For singers who have to captivate audience’s attention only in a several minutes, stage costumes are as important as their dance performance.

Stage costume is a significant factor especially for female groups. They put a lot of effort and time on adorning themselves. Female idol stars’ fancy accessories, special makeup, and daring costumes always catch audience’s eyes.

There are three female idol teams that have been receiving the hottest responses for their stage fashion: 2NE1, Miss A, and Hyorin. Let’s get some fashion tips from their stage look!

2NE1’s Free-Spirited Costume

2NE1 has been sweeping the music chart with its new song ‘I Miss You,’ proving their power in the K-Pop world.

This time, 2NE1 members took off their signature strong, ‘bad-girl’ look. Instead, they mix-matched various fashion items like a one-piece and sweater to express each member’s individuality and different style.

Dara and Gong Minzy wore unique printed cardigan while Park Bom and CL matched their plaid items with a mini one-piece, making their feminine look more street-fashion looking.

The “FUR”, Flower of Winter, Becomes Young and Trendy

As the weather gets cold, the season of fur hasbegun. With its soft texture and high quality design, fur makes you look womanly and elegant.

If you’ve been avoiding fur because it makes you look old, then take a look at new fur styling for this winter. For this season, new fur styling is casually designed with short length and splendid colors.

Fur has been a most famous winter wear for female celebrities who are sensitive to new fashion trends. 4minute’s Hyun Ah, 2NE1’s Sandara Park, Girls Generation’s Sunny, and other actresses often coordinates their real way look with fur items.

If you feel burdensome wearing a fur coat, then try wearing a fur vest. Fur vest creates casual and refined feelings.

Often, wearing a fur vest over different items creates different images of style. For example, Actress Yoon So Yi gave a point to all-black look by wearing a royal blue colored fur jacket over it. With short and tight fur vest with black skinny jeans, Yoon So Yi succeeded on emphasizing her chic feeling.

2NE1’s Sandara Park used her colorful fur vest as an item to show her unique characteristic. She arose the funky feeling by wearing black and yellow fur jacket with leather pants.

This is a really really interesting read! ^_^

Even it is the ‘Era of idol groups flourishing’, it is hard to see a girl group like 2NE1 in which the members have a strong individuality. From the charismatic leader CL, unique vocal Bom, adorable Dara and to naturally talented dancer Minzy.

With this year being the 5th year since their debut, 2NE1 recently released their single ‘Missing You’ and tried to give changes to their images with a concept that shows powerful colors and charms of a woman. 2NE1 is commented as a group that maximizes the charms that each member has and we have analyzed them in various angles through looking at their music, dance, fashion and the fortune based on their facial features and figures and so on.

# Music & Vocal – The rapid progress of the female musician resulted from the changing phases of time in 2000s.

Overall comment: The leading role in girl groups as they are centered on women. Using a differentiated strategy with the individuality of each member.

– Jo Hong Kyung, the representative of Voiceffect (JTBC ‘Hidden Singer’ vocal masters)

In their early years, 2NE1 made their debut with a nickname ‘Woman BIGBANG’ and back then, they showed a differentiated strategy through the strong colors of each member. Their music had easy melodies, which made people of all ages easily sing along and it is also the advantage that 2NE1 has.

If we take a look at the members, CL is someone in which her charm develops along with her age. CL, who shows the most power and energy in vocals, has a chic charm that is like a rebel. Also in the team, she has the most powerful vocal style.

Bom has a voice with unique individuality and a solid singing ability and is raising the level of completeness in terms of music. She is someone who has a unique voice but it looks like that she needs to make more effort to make her strengths certainly stand out. Dara is the oldest in the group and is definitely a mood maker but in terms of singing, it is slightly not enough. Just like CL, ‘The dancer’ Minzy is a member that appeals to people with fantastic singing ability. Since she has an enormous charm as she is able to dance, it would be better if she is much bold and daring in expressing her power.
