Dara & Thunder Start Charity Campaign for Haiyan-struck Philippines
Recently, the Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines, resulting in nearly 4,000 fatalities and over 10,000 injured. In response, the siblings Dara of 2NE1 and Thunder of MBLAQ set up a charity campaign at the WEGENERATION website to raise funds to donate to the Philippines.
“We are especially worried about the Philippines because we spent our childhood there,” the siblings wrote on the site. “Please support us so our neighbors in the Philippines can overcome their hardships and stand on their own two feet again!”
Haiyan was the most powerful typhoon that ever made landfall, and struck its first target, the eastern Philippines coastal city of Tacloban, with hurricane force (Beaufort force 12) winds and tidal waves that literally swept over the city.
Dara and Thunder’s campaign began on November 11 and will continue for six weeks. The target figure is 5 million Korean won, approximately 4,700 US dollars. The money raised will be handed over to the World Share charity organization to support emergency aid in the Philippines. Ten supporters will be chosen by lot to receive five of Dara’s treasures and five of Thunder’s.
Yay, it’s snowing already! First snow is always so pretty.. ❤ Then snow becomes less pretty when it covers everything and makes your feet wet.. Kekekkee! XDDD Enjoy the snow, Dara! ❤
Awww, Dara encourages everyone to not live in the past, but rather to enjoy the moment, all the NOWS we seem to ignore because we might be too busy re-living the past we can’t take back.. Sound and lovely reminder from our dear Sandara Park.. ❤
Everyone, what do you miss the most?
There are a lot of touching answers to my question of what you miss the most. Myself in the past.. Memories of the past.. Parents.. Friends.. Times when there were no worries, living life freely.. Things such as that. Although I miss those times in the past as well, but this moment right now will also pass as well. So enjoy this moment.
I really like this dress! It seems that it’s also a dress worn by Jennie Kim during a stage performing with G-Dragon, but I really think Dara looks so good in it! She gave the dress a twist to her own personality and it looks both edgy and feminine.. ❤ Loving the arm covers and wide-brim hat too.. ^^ Like I said on Twitter, “Doesn’t Dara look a bit goth-lolli-ish?” Kekeke! ^^
Double Park Announces 2NE1 World Tour and Shows Teaser for New Song
As announced, 2NE1’s Sandara Park and Park Bom came as Double Park to announced 2NE1’s upcoming comeback.
On November 18, Double Park held its urgent press conference, where Sandara Park and Park Bom announced 2NE1’s upcoming global tour in March of 2014. The members will visit Seoul, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and China.

Making the announcements a lot more entertaining, Minzy and CL acted as reporters to ask questions. Reporter Minzy asked when 2NE1 Minzy’s solo song will be released, as it was recorded in 2011. Park Bom replied, “We’re all thinking positively about Minzy’s solo,” before moving along.
Reporter CL asked when 2NE1’s next album will be released. Park Bom replied, “No one knows, not even the daughter-in-law (a Korean saying to imply that no one knows).”
Sandara Park gave a short preview of 2NE1’s I Miss You instead.
The teaser can be seen at the end of the conference.
2NE1 Announces Comeback and World Tour, Reveals MV Teaser
Great news for 2NE1 fans!
On November 18, unnies Park Bom and Sandara Park aka Double Park released a video from their “urgent press conference.”
The first thing they talked about was their world tour, which will kickstart in March next year starting in Seoul and will also hit up countries in Asia including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan.
The Park sisters also discussed 2NE1’s comeback, which will be just in a few days on November 21 and they’ll drop their new song “I’m Lonely” (English title pending) as well as the music video at midnight.
The emotional track fits perfectly well with the night scene. The girls cried many times while recording the song in the recording studio and Dara, in particular, used up a whole box of kleenex to wipe her tears.
There was a section where reporters had a chance to ask questions and members Minzyand CL made special appearances as reporters.
The whole press conference was done in typical Double Park fashion, but if you want to fast forward to the music video teaser, go to the 7:29 mark. Enjoy!
