2NE1 celebrates 2nd anniversary

2NE1 is celebrating its 2nd anniversary this May 2011.

Consisting of 4 members including Sandara "Dara" Park, 2NE1 actually was founded in 2008 dubbed only as the "female BIGBANG" and it was only in March 30, 2009 that they were named as 2NE1.

But the group considers the date "May 17, 2009" as its official debut date when they made their debut performance of their official debut single "Fire" at the Inkigayo, a music program on SBS in South Korea.

A video of 2NE1 celebrating its 2nd anniversary last May 17, 2011 was shared by Dara herself via her me2day account (me2day/21dara). Watch!
Dara also posted a photo of their anniversary gift for each other...


In 2 years, 2NE1 managed to be one of the most successful and top-selling Kpop artists across Asia.

Their 2 albums, 2NE1 and To Anyone, both peaked at #1 in Korea and have a combined album sales of almost 300,000 copies.

Among 2NE1's hit singles which charted at #1 in Korea include "Lollipop" (feat. Big Bang), "Fire", "I Don't Care", "You and I", "Go Away", "Try to Follow Me" and the most recent single, "Lonely", which was released only last May 12, but immediately peaked at #1 in Korean charts within 4 days.

Watch the music video of 2NE1's latest single "Lonely" which already has over 5 million views on Youtube:

Sandara Park looks classy on her new holiday hairstyle

Sandara Park of the popular Kpop group 2NE1 has a new haircut perfect for the Christmas holiday.



Sandara Park or more popularly known in Korea as simply Dara sported her new look for the first time at the 2010 Melon Music Awards held last week in Seoul, South Korea where 2NE1 was awarded Album of the Year and among the 2010 Top 10 awardees.

And the fans loved Dara's new look.

I think it's the first time that Sandara is having such short hair, just a little above her shoulder.

Dara definitely looks so classy and fab with that hairstyle and she reminds me of the villainess in most Koreanovelas who are far more beautiful than the lead stars.

Here's some more of how Dara works around her new hairstyle:








Do you like this new haircut of Sandara Park? Or you still love the longer one?

Kpop artist Jiyeon being linked to an alleged strip video chat scandal

The internet is all abuzz over the alleged strip video scandal of Park
Jiyeon, one of the members of Korean pop group T-ara.



Allegedly, Jiyeon is the one on a 35-minute video clip uploaded online
which shows a girl all alone in a room and doing a strip in front of the cam. And possibly it's for a chatmate, who could have been the one
who taped and uploaded it online.

There's actually two videos. The first video shows only the young lady's face and the second one shows no face but it exposes private parts of the girl.

Here in the Philippines, such thing is commonly called as a "show" or a private show on webcam.

The website Allkpop.com has 3 reports about it and one of those contains evidences from netizens alleging that the girl in the strip video is indeed T-ara's Jiyeon.

Judging those evidences presented, there may be similarities but I strongly believe that it's not Jiyeon. There's a possibility that the second video was not connected to the first one and was set-up to make it appear that the girl is doing a stripping video chat.

And also, Jiyeon is only 17 years old and it's so unfair to link her to that.

Allkpop also reports that Jiyeon's talent agency Core Contents Media has already reacted on the issue and they themselves are convinced that the webcam girl looks like Jiyeon but still they don't believe that it's really her. "We directly checked with Jiyeon herself and it was confirmed that it was only someone who looks similar."

Jiyeon's parents and her talent management are now planning to take legal actions against those who continue to link Jiyeon to such dirty video.

T-ara's fans in the Philippines have expressed concerns and support to Jiyeon. On their Facebook page "T-ara PH", the page admin posted, "I don't know if you're with us or not but we should take stand for innocence! We all believe that Jiyeon couldn't do such a thing. Such thing like thee will not make her down. I know Jiyeon's traumatized by this but she's strong enough to conquer this. That's why we're just asking you one thing: No matter what happens, let us support Jiyeon and the rest of T-ara members all the way."

I agree with you guys!

Pinoy fans excited for Bi Rain's arrival in Manila | Who wants free tickets to his concert?

Kpop artist and Hollywood star Bi Rain is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, September 4, in Manila.



That's exactly one week before Rain's "Intensity" concert happening at
the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

The concert's media partner TV5 knows the exact time of Rain's arrival
in Manila but they're keeping it a secret so as not to be flocked with many fans who are waiting for his arrival.

The Intensity concert will also feature Kpop group U-Kiss and have
Pinoy pride Christian Bautista as special guest. U-Kiss is arriving on September 10.

Rain is arriving earlier than U-Kiss because reportedly, he'll be shooting some scenes in the Philippines for his Korean drama
"Fugitive" which will premiere on September 29.

Prior to the Philippines, Rain already taped for "Fugitive" in Korea, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong.

"Fugitive" also stars Daniel Henney of "Spring Waltz" and marks Rain's
comeback in Korean drama after 5 years and after concentrating in
Hollywood.

There are unconfirmed reports that Rain will also shoot a mini-series
for TV5. Paparazzi's Ruffa Gutierrez is confirmed though to have a one-on-one
interview with Rain.

Rain is definitely coming to Manila and maybe, that explains why rains keep pouring now in Manila. What do you think?

If you want free tickets for the concert, Odyssey Live will be giving 1 pair of VIP tickets and 2 pairs of Gold Tickets.

Just go to their SITE and answer the question: "Why do you want to go to Intensity featuring Rain and U-Kiss concert?". Then ask your friends to vote for your answer by clicking the "thumbs up" button. The one with the most "thumbs up"
will win 2 VIP tickets while two more persons will win each a pair of Gold tickets as consolation prize.

Their promo ends on September 9.Source URL: https://mykiru1.blogspot.com/search/label/KPOP
