2NE1: Individual Member's Interview (DARA)

When did you start dreaming to be a singer? And what type of singer do you aim to be? Seo Taiji and boys debuted when I was in elementary 2nd year. When I see them I thought “I want to appear on the TV like them too” and that is how I wanted to be a singer. I respect seonbae Um Jung Hwa. Even though she is pretty, cute and charming, to say in one word she is a ‘cool woman’. I want to be a singer like who can take on all sorts of transformations on stage. Your expressions and your acting in ‘I Don’t Care’ is really good. What were you thinking as you were acting? The time on stage is very short. That is why I think of it as a sitcom and do the acting on stage. Even though the person who taught us the choreography also taught us to be delicate in our expressions, but when we take the stage, our expressions become more exaggerated. I tend to do over-action, because I wanted it to be more fun. And because I was the one with acting skills, it was a little pressurising on me when it comes to filming the MV. (Laughs) What are Sandara’s charms in the eyes of other members? CL – Even though she seems cute, she is a very warmhearted unnie. She is very energetic and cheery as though going on broadcast programme for 24 hours. MinJi – She always gives off a very happy engery. She is very unique and also a fun person to be with. Bom – She is the atmosphere-maker in the group. She is always like a fun friend. You play the role as the endorphine in the group. What is the motivation to be always such an energetic person? For myself, I like doing gags and enjoys great atmosphere. It is even more fun now since the members are able to coordinate and respond well when I pull a gag or trick. Anything you want to say to your fans. I am very very thankful for always being there no matter how we are. I am so touched that the fans waited despite the rain on SBS Inkigayo on 12th July.
