”I’m going to see if you have the potential to be a singer for the last time. Show me your results in a month.”
It was like a ray of light for Sandara who was having a hard time overcoming the sadness of her situation. For the first and last time, President Yang had given her a chance.
”I practised SO hard for a month. CL, Park Bom and Gong Minzy gave me a lot of help as they watched me practise. I made a planning chart and practised until dawn.”
Park Bom taught her things on breathing, pronunciation and where to accent in songs. CL helped with selecting outfits, and Minzy with making choreography.
”At the time, the members pretty much made me up from head to toe. I think it was in spring of 2008, I tried really hard with the thought that it was the last opportunity I’d get.”
President Yang said ”For the first time, I see potential. Practise with the rest” and allowed Sandara to become a singer trainee.
”To tell the truth, I thought that meant I’d become a singer soon after. But I was deluded. I lived as a trainee for a year. There were 6 trainees in YG at the time and I think President Yang was paying close attention to all of us to decide on the best combination.”
Sandara was in a delicate situation for a year. She couldn’t let her guard down after President Yang told them ‘Noone knows whether there will be six members or five.’ As time went by, hip hop became a part of Sandara’s life too and she started becoming more and more like the other members.

Now, as an active member of 2NE1, Sandara’s trainee days have become a part of her most precious memories.
”I think I felt happy and touched by even the little things in my trainee days. Trainees take the day off on their birthdays or Christmas too. But most of them don’t have anything to do at home so they end up coming back to the practice rooms. When it is someone’s birthday, everyone celebrates together and eats ddeokbbokki. [spicy ricecakes]”
Though of course good memories weren’t the only ones. All the members including Sandara had to go through a hard time. The diet they were given to help manage their bodies also gave them greedy apetites.
”Because of our weight management, we were never allowed to eat anything fatty or oily. But you know how it is, if you’re not allowed to eat it just makes you want to eat more. The members and I used to secretly go out and eat a row of gimbap, or eat things like bread and chocolate in the bathrooms.”
Sandara chose Dakgalbi [spicy stir-fried chicken] as the most memorable dish from her trainee days. It was an expensive dish for Sandara who received pocket money from her parents.
”I didn’t exactly get that much pocket money. There wouldn’t be much left after paying for transport. I felt sorry to my younger siblings cos I could never buy them food or anything. I think Dakgalbi was the most expensive thing I bought with my own money. The members and I ate Dakgalbi on the 31st of December 2008, you see. (laughs)”
After practising for so long feeling nervous that the others had been a trainee for longer than her, Sandara was finally able to shed her label of a trainee.
”I think luck followed me. We recorded ‘Pretty Boy’ in January last year. I must have been all right at that recording. (laughs) One day President Yang called Minzy, Bom, CL and me aside and said ‘You guys are gonna be filming a CF soon so be prepared’. That CF was Lollipop. That was when I finally knew that I had become a member of 2NE1..”

So…who did Sandara Park of 2NE1 spend her White Day with? No one other than…her brother, Thunder from MBLAQ!
On March 14th, Sandara Park put up a picture of her date with her lovely brother on her me2day.
She said, “Today is White Day! I finally met Thunder after a really long time of not seeing him. He says he couldn’t sleep because of practice, but he came to see his sister.”
She also added, “I felt bad, but I felt better when I saw him eating well! ^.^(In the picture, it looks like I’m eating a lot, but I’m not)”
Netizens have responded, “Dara noona takes good care of her brother!” “She is such a good sister” “It’s White Day, you should ask your brother for chocolate” “You two look beautiful” and more.
If I had a brother that good looking, or a sister that cute, I would be flaunting him or her on this holiday too! Good luck to both 2NE1 and MBLAQ!

CL, “My father is Prof. Lee Ki Jin of Sogang University”
credit: kbites
The leader of female group 2NE1, CL’s (real name: Lee Chae Rin) father is Lee Ki Jin a professor in the physics department of Sogang University.
This immediately became a topic when everyone suddenly got to know about this. On the 16th according to the report of Dongya newspaper “Professor Lee is not only a physicist but also an author for children’s stories. Simultaneously as he draws manga he also writes special columns regularly for a magazine of high school students. He who has studied overseas in France, Japan, Russia and Armenia, started working on manga and writing children’s stories because of his two daughters.”
Towards everything that his two daughters request, if it is something serious he won’t hesitate to comply with them, for example when his eldest daughter Chae Rin wanted to practice Jazz in the 3rd grade of primary school, when she wanted to make a memorial book for the school he even introduced her a printing company.
Professor Lee also revealed “Even though I don’t know if being a singer is Chae Rin’s absolute dream, but life is like a process, I only hope my two daughters can be happy for the rest of their lives.
The netizens have left these kind of comments: “He really is an excellent father.” “Often when we teach children we won’t respect their opinions. We should really learn from him.” “Perhaps this kind of education is needed to be able to cultivate such singer like CL.”
Recently, girl group 2NE1 released their music video for “Try To Follow Me.” A month ago, it was revealed to be a CF song for the new Corby F phone, which the girls endorse. But it came as a surprise when YG Entertainment released the music video roughly a month after the song was released.
2NE1 has always been known to be a group that emphasizes the individual style of its members. Not surprisingly, this music video also showcased the members’ own, unique individuality, with the different splashes of color in the music video.
The music video showed all the members with their own, unique hairstyle. But none more unique than member Sandara Park’s bangs.
Since her debut with Lollipop, another CF song, Sandara Park has always had the most unique and crazy hairstyle that captures the public’s attention. Her strong personality coupled with her own style, color, and good looks have made several headlines already.
The operating director for fashion website, 0809 (www.la0809.co.kr), Yi Jong Mun, has this to say about Dara’s fashion style, “Sandara Park has a very nice head, which its round shape, any hair style would fit her. Even palm tree hair.”
“For this hairstyle, it showed her forehead and showed that her hairline is versatile, with the type of rolled-up bangs that she showed. I’m actually impressed that she managed to look beautiful with the unique hairstyle that she had. If it had been another girl, it would have looked very silly. It seems that only Sandara Park can pull it off like she did,” he continued.
Other members also revealed their personalities in the music video.
With a tie at the back of her head, Park Bom showed a hairstyle with the ends of her hair drawn to the front, giving off a feel of bangs.
Minzy showed her short bob, and with its intense color, it showed a very sharp image.
And with the side of her face decorated with shiny sequins, leader CL looked really mysterious.
“2NE1 always have a unique style that generates interest and creates issues,” the Director continued to say, “Their style always screams out,‘We’re 2NE1′ and that makes a lot of fans and people take notice and give good expectations for their activities.”
Debuting in April girl group SISTAR, 2NE1 imitation?
Standing up as ‘Edge-Dol’ (t/n: edgy idol), SISTAR has become a controversial topic due to their immense similarity to 2NE1.
SISTAR is a four-member new girl group debuting in April, rumored for both their vocal qualities and dancing skills.
According to their company Starship Entertainment, “SISTAR is a girl group with both the skills and style to create a new cultural code with their popping music, dance moves, fashion sense and more and will rise up as a style icon for the 10s and 20s youth.”
SISTAR made their existence known through a fashion magazine photoshoot on March 19. But they have been criticized for having an all too similar concept as 2NE1 at the time of their debut.
DCInside 2NE1 gallery says ‘SISTAR this is a bit too much’ and puts up a comparison image. Their statement points out that the funnel Gong Minji is holding is the same as the one the SISTAR member is holding.
However, having the same items in a photoshoot is something that can happen. What was more surprising was that the name 2NE1 went by before their official debut was also ‘SISTA’. As evidence of that, there are articles that have been posted up in March of 2009 just before 2NE1 was debuting, when they were just known as ‘Female Big Bang, group name is SISTA.’
Because of this, Netizens’ curiosity on the relation between SISTAR and 2NE1 is being amplified.
