Which Female Idol Has the Most “Innocently Royal” Face?

The cosmetics brand Regen Cosmetics recently polled 592 women in the 20 to 30 age demographic, “Which girl group member has an ‘innocently royal face’ with a sophisticated and noble look?“. Seohyun snagged the top spot receiving 51.3% of the vote. She was followed by Dara with 21.4%, third place went to Dasom with 13.1%, and Sunhwa was fourth with 12.6%.

After revealing the results of the poll, Regen Cosmetics said, “We were able to better understand the image that the public has of girl group members. Recently, skin that is clear and is lively is called the ‘innocently royal’ style. I think these girls like clear skin because it gives off a luxurious image.”

The same article was posted in Yahoo Philippines but with a different title. There, the poll was called “The Best Pure-Hearted Girl”

Article: Xin MSN Lists Down Their Top 10 Favourite Korean Variety-Dols – Dara at Number 8!

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!
