Se7en-Sandara Park Friendship Certification Shot – “Affectionate Sibling-Like Friends”
Singer Se7en revealed an affectionate picture he had taken with 2NE1 member, Sandara Park.
On the 7th, Se7en updated his Twitter with, “thank u DARA,” attaching a picture with his tweet.
In the photo, Seven and Sandara Park both have bright smiles, giving the picture an atmosphere of “best friend certification shot,” even taking the photo with their faces really close to each other. In particular, Sandara Park‘s pose, holding up seven fingers to match Se7en’s name, left an impression. Se7en had his fingers formed in a “V-pose” on top of Sandara’s head. Their friendship showed a warm atmosphere, evoking envy from those who saw the picture. Netizens were also surprised at how greatly they resembled each other, their faces in the photo look surprisingly alike. Being both born on 1984, both are now 30 years old, and are same-age-friends. The fact that they are 30 years old already, drew attention from netizens, as they look very youthful.
Netizens who saw their friendship through the photo commented with, “Nice to see friendship like this,” “These two seem like best friends,” “It looks like Sandara Park went to Japan specially to support Se7en,” “Affectionate siblings,” “So cute,” Their visuals are both jjang,” “Sandara Park really went to watch Se7en’s concert,” “Se7en and Sandara have a warm friendship,” “Se7en and Sandara Park seem like siblings,” “These two people are not related to each other right?” “They both look good,” “These two are really close,” “Sandara Park has a lot of sense,” “They resemble each other so much that they seem related by blood,” “It’s cute how they look so much alike,” “Cute. Their friendship is really strong,” “Se7en and Sandara Park. Their close friendship is so nice to look at,” “Sandara Park went to Japan just to see Se7en’s concert, daebakk,” “Affectionate siblings. I like them both,” “Did you fly all the way there to watch Se7en’s concert?” “It seems that even when they reach 40, their faces would stay the same,” “I feel warm just looking at these two people,” “Cute couple!” “Their closeness is something to be jealous of,” “Sandara Park went to Japan just to support Se7en-oppa,” “It’s so heart-warming how unnie and oppa share a great friendship,” “Se7en and Sandara Park are the cutest 30-year-olds ever,” “I am jealous of how Sandara Park and Se7en are such close friends,” “Won’t Park Han Byul be jealous of this picture of Se7en with Sandara Park?” showing a variety of responses.
On the other hand, Se7en is set to release a single album in Japan on March 20. “Se7en 2013 Concert In Japan – Arigato (thank you)” is his last concert before enlisting this year.
Because of the amount of news piling up, both Se7en and Sandara trended at #1 on Nate Real-Time Search:

In her interview, Yeng Constantino tells us that her favorite K-Pop group is 2NE1 in which Dara is a member. She also mentioned how Dara used to be in the Philippines and her evolution from being a raw and innocent artist into a powerful one with a lot of swag.
You can see Yeng mention Dara and 2NE1 at around 0:32 of the video!
“My favorite group is 2ne1, of course Dara is part of the group, we saw her when she was just starting, and her evolution also, WOW, if she can do it, we all can too. We saw her when she was just raw, wow, the innocence in her eyes was gladdening to see. And now, when I see her in their music videos, BOOM, her SWAG is like.. hoo where is the old Dara? There she is the new her. I believe we are capable of doing it also, if we sing songs that we can’t understand, then they should also sing our song there even if they don’t understand it.”
Translation:
One of my greatest dreams is for OPM (Original Pinoy Music) to cross over Asia, really. I do not believe that KPOP is a problem in our country. It just so happened that they are excellent and I admire them. I see videos in Youtube saying, “Wow, their dance, isn’t already for 20 times?”. They rehearse a lot in any performance. And my favourite is 2ne1, of course Dara is there. We saw her start here and then her evolution, and like WOW!!! If she can do it, then I think we can also do it. Didn’t we watch her when she’s still raw and like, her eyes, it’s amazing and her actions on stage as well. And now you can see in their music videos, her swag, woah!!! Where is she, is like, she’s a new person! We can do it also, I really believe it. If the songs that we don’t even understand, we sing them, then it’s not impossible for them to sing our songs too!!! Just kidding! But no, it’s a challenge for us artists to produce music that is also excellent, and yeah, to be challenged. It’s not just something that you feel like writing, but you know, like you want to level-up. It’s how they (KPOP) are. I’m happy that they sang my song, because there are a lot of OPM songs that are really good, especially now, like Ebe ___, I enjoy listening to them, but they chose my song, WOW!!! It was even an old song already. How many years has it been? I think I was only 14 when I wrote Hawak Kamay (Hold Hands). I was surprised why Hawak Kamay was trending in twitter. Then I saw Exo, and was like what is it or who? Then I searched the internet. Wow, they’re so handsome!!! That’s what I said, wow, “pogi” (remember Dara’s name for Seungri)!!! There is Korean and Chinese version. I like them. They’re cute. I think one of the members will look good together with me!!! (laughs) But that’s my dream for OPM, if not during my generation, then in the next generations to come.

Thank you so so so much to GEiA Doctor (@KeYOJtiK) and nicajoyunnie for the translations!
After tweeting a few days back that she felt bad about not having seen Se7en’s concert ever (here) our Darling Dara decided to fly to Japan to attend Ven-sama’s concert. He went to the venue together with Big Bang’s Daesung according to various fan accounts.
Dara always supports her YG Family. She flew to the Philippines to support Big Bang and now she flew to Japan to support Se7en. I am sure Se7en holds a special place in her heart.
It’s Se7en senior! He is the best
According to Akko (@ilovegd21), a very good friend and Japanese Blackjack, various fans saw Dara at Se7en’s concert in Shibuya Hall, Japan. She went to the concert in Big Bang’s Daesung.
A few days back, Se7en tweeted that he was on his way to Tokyo for his concert. Dara then tweeted him that she felt sad that she has never been to Ven-sama’s concert after all this time. (You can view that conversation here!) I guess our every supportive and loving Dara decided to watch Se7en’s concert and support him too. <333
