It's the last episode of 2NE1 TV. =( It's actually an additional episode to show the girls preparing for their Japan debut. We get to see them during rehearsals and trying hard to memorize their Japanese lyrics.
We see the girls riding the train to Daegu for a performance, they went straight to Japan the day after. They all look so tired. =S It's their very first performance in Music Station. They're newbies in Japan, don't know anyone, have to memorize their Japanese lyrics, lots of things to worry about but they finished well. Like CL said, I also hope Minzy will smile more. =)
While the unnies are still sleeping, Minzy went out alone shopping. She went to Harajuku and met Japanese fans that recognized her. Minzy's so cute when a male fan asked to shake her hand. I think she's used to having more female fans so I guess seeing male fans makes her feel like a girl more. =)
They move from photoshoots, interviews, radio broadcasts, etc. Bom can't decide which bread to buy because everything looks yummy, lol! XD This is supposed to be the last episode of 2NE1 TV but I guess they added one more because everyone's sad to end it.
2NE1 TV S3 - Episode 14 w/ English subtitles [1][2][3]
The girls designed the winner's hotel room personally, so sweet! =) And we get to see Dara's coverage of their first concert preparations hours before the concert. Family and friends came to give support and congratulate the girls for their very first solo concert like Minzy's mom with her friends, Taeyang, GD, Se7en, Honey Lee, Seungri, Amber, Gummy.
YG had a quick meeting with them to discuss what's wrong with their first day and to improve on it on the next day. It's funny that YG asked the 2 unnies to talk about boyfriends and such in their ment to make it more interesting, lol! XD
After their last concert day, Dara cried a lot. She also have to attend the Etude promotions the very next day and also meet with the fans who won in the "Not Ugly" campaign.
The girls are preparing for their 1st solo concert, Nolza! They start full rehearsals 2 weeks before the actual concert dates. Lots of meetings and discussions on concepts and stage appearance. Taeyang also came for Minzy's performance.
1 week before the concert, Dara's brother, Cheondung is having Mblaq's 1st concert too. She went straight to the concert after rehearsal. We also get to see the girls filming for a clip to be shown in the concert. It's an outdoor club scene so they're all dancing with loud music but a police suddenly came telling them that they got a complaint for the noise. =S
2NE1 TV S3 - Episode 12 w/ English subtitles [1][2]
Minzy and her Gundam toys. ^^ We're introduced to 2NE1's pets. First is Bom's dogs, Choco and Button, which I think we've seen before in the previous season of 2NE1 TV, Dara's dongsaeng's cat, Dadoong, and Minzy's new puppy, Dougie. =) Nice to see Dara finally able to over come her fear of dogs. ^^
We also get to see a bit of Dara's Etude photoshoot and Dadoong's first outing to the studio. They also went to a cat cafe with Cheondoong who also happens to get lots of air time in this episode of 2NE1 TV because of Dadoong, lol! XD
CL's really good with animals. She played so well with Minzy's dog and Dara's cat. But unfortunately, she said a fortune teller told her that she can't raise a pet because she has too much energy? I don't get it too, but I guess she just can't so as not to lose those energy. =)
2NE1 TV S3 - Episode 11 w/ English subtitles [1][2]
We get to see more of Minzy's rock festival experience. =) Taeyang, GD & Top performed first, too bad Minzy wasn't able to see them because she's still on the road.
CL get to spend her day with Jeremy Scott. They visited CL's aunt's gallery, went on to look around vintage books and stopped at a restaurant to eat. They're having the Adidas party that night.
CL turned 20 which made her officially an adult in Korea. To celebrate her adulthood, her grandmother is giving her a specially made hanbok. She sure has a very sweet family. =)
Dara is stalking his brother Cheondung, LOL! XD She called her costume in Ulsan performance, ostrich concept, lol! XD She sure loves the camera. ^^
Minzy is going to the Pentaport Rock Festival and she's so excited! GD, Top and Taeyang are performing there as well. She looks so pretty in her rocker chic outfit, she's wearing a skirt! I want to see more girly Minkki on stage in the future. =) It's so cute to see all her unnies worrying about her just like moms. ^^
At the rock festival, Taeyang, GD & Top are preparing in the dressing room. I'm happy with the sunglasses that GD finally chose to wear, it's what I think looks better too. ^^ Top in red striped shirt called his look as "Where's Wally", LOL! =P
We get to see more of YG Family in Japan. After the press conference, YG family had a company party that night. Bom overslept so CL, Minzy and Dara went back to Korea ahead, while Bom went back with Se7en later that day.
GD and Top showcase their new hair styles, GD with a buzz cut and Top with half-bleached blonde hair. I like GD's buzz cut but not a fan of Top's blonde, he looks specially hot with black hair. They are working with Diplo as guests in his new album.
And in the final segment of the episode, they announced the chosen fans who sent in their questions and requests. There were fans from Malaysia, Mexico, Korea, Spain, USA, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, UAE, Philippines, Indonesia. I'm excited for the next episode, Minzy in skirt! So cute! =)
We get to see more of YG Family's visit to Singapore. Minzy looks girly when she dresses on her own, I wonder why their stylists always dress her like a boy on stage (bulky jackets and pants).
Top reminds me so much of Shinhwa's Eric, he has this serious look but is actually so dorky and funny, LOL! XD Like asking their stylist for an old hair blower. =P And he said when a fan grabbed his hands on stage, he asked her, "are you trying to steal my ring?" and slap the fan's hand, LOOOL! =P He also messed with Minzy's Ipad game while she's playing. ^^
2NE1 GPS navigation will be sooooo cute! Se7en is so right, it would sell like hotcakes. =P They also show us clips of YG Family going to Japan for the YG and Avex joint venture. My favorite part, GD sitting beside Dara and bringing up that he's Dara's ideal type. ^^
The girls are practicing really hard for their first stage of "Hate You" and "Ugly". Minzy came up to Dara and said that she really needs to eat when Bom suddenly said that she also forgot to eat the whole day. Minzy reminded her about the jajangmyeon she had for breakfast, LOL! =P
"Ugly" is a song that made them all melancholy. Minzy was reminded of her trainee days when nobody cares whether she sings well or not. Dara thought of wanting to become a better unnie to CL and Minzy and a good friend to Bom on those times that they feel "ugly". Bom started to think of her future whether she can still be a singer when she's old. CL showed us her cute side, it's really nice to see her being cute like that. ^^
And we also get to see 2NE1 together with Big Bang in Singapore. =)
We get to see more of the girls from the "Ugly" MV filming site. CL talked about her mom who seems to be really cute because according to CL, her mom is jealous because she talked about her sister and father on TV but not her. *awww*
Teddy also gave us back ground on how he came up with the songs "Ugly" and "Hate You". Though they're all saying that the original song title "F*** You" is better because it gives a stronger feel, I'm still glad they changed it. Even if that word is widely used nowadays, I still don't like hearing it coming from a young girl's mouth. One can get angry without swearing, and I think that shows a stronger character of a person.
We also see the stages while doing the "Hate You" MV animation with Mari Kim. I so love that animated MV, it's really really good! =)
Dara's skin in that intro shot is just flawless! I know she's wearing make-up but still, her skin is so clear. CL explained to the viewers their "Ugly" costumes. She really is the female version of GD, very fashionable. =)
We also get a peek at the filming of "Ugly" music video. They all look so tough when filming but when the director says cut, they're back to their cute selves. =) Loving the Bom, Minzy, Dara playing around scenes. ^^ And when the 3 of them are talking about their personalities, Dara is very tolerant but explodes when really angered, Minzy has an explosive temper but doesn't hold grudges, and Bom whines a lot, lol! XD
This time we get to see what Bom and Minji got to share. =) Minji showed us her own personal creative space. She's mixing her own music with matching disco lights to get the club feel, keke. ^^ Bom's bungee jump challenge! She said she did it before and wanted to do it again. She's so brave to even think about doing it. So is she going to do it again?
I'm a big fan of roller coasters and even tried parasailing, but I still can't imagine myself trying bungee jumping. My friend keeps on asking me to try while we still can, it would be so much harder when we're older, LOL! Hopefully I'll get the courage to try someday soon. Fighting!^^
We also get to see YG Family on their way to Singapore! Dara being the official VJ, lol! XD
Here we get to see a tiny bit of the girls in the "Ugly" MV filming. As said in the ending of episode 1, the next episodes will feature the story of each member. First member to be featured is Dara! Her story is about her journey in learning to play the guitar, Ssancoustic. ^^ We'll see Dara and her battle to perfect the F chord. She always went to see her brother Cheondoong in Mblaq's comeback stage, such a loving noona, Park siblings love~ <3
Dara is using a mini gadget to tune her guitar when Bom saw it, she tried using it to test her voice, and the look on her face when singing Dam Dadi, LOL! XD When the 2 Park unnies get together, it sure is a bomb, 4D overload, billion dollar baby! LOOOL! =P
2NE1 TV is back for it's 3rd season! We get to see the girls' new crib. =) They live in 2 separate condos, Bom and Minzy lives together, and Dara and CL lives together in another. They each have their own rooms now. ^^
Dara gave us a tour of her room, I'm actually surprised that it's soooo girly, lots of make-up and lots of pinks. She said she doesn't like wearing skirts or shorts and preferred jeans and T-shirt which gave me the impression that she's a bit boyish, but I guess not, keke... I wish to see her girly side in their stage costumes too. ^^
We also get to meet CL's sister a bit, she visited their condo and CL showed us just a quick glimpse of her. Bom is going to meet her friend that she confides in about boys, and she said it's not long ago that she talked to her, hmmm.^^ I'm glad the girls do get a love life too even when hard at work. =) Minzy stayed home to water her plants and proudly showed us her Gundam collection. Dara went out driving her car to a car wash.
2NE1 TV S3 - Episode 1 w/ English subtitles [1][2]
Finally done uploading my fancams which took me forever. =S
2NE1 arrived here in the Philippines last June 3rd for a show at Araneta Coliseum on June 4th. I was there with a group of my friends seated at VIP (thanks to my wonderful friend!!!) and enjoyed the night. 2NE1's performance was short but sweet and it's so nice to hear Dara (Sandy, as we fondly call her here in the Philippines) speak Filipino the whole time. We all missed her "krung krung" (what we call a 4D) personality and way of talking. ^^ The concert started with 5 local artists performing until it's time for the girls to come out and the crowd went wild!!! =D
Their first song is "Fire"
They went straight to "Go Away" next
Dara and Bom left the stage for CL & Minzy's "Please Don't Go"
Girls are back with "Lonely"
CL, Bom and Minzy left the stage for Dara's solo "In or Out"
They're all back again with "Can't Nobody"
The girls thanked the fans and left the stage. Everybody stays put waiting for them to come back on stage, and they did with "Clap Your Hands"
And finally the song "I Don't Care" which even our non-Kpop fan friends know. ^^
The girls thanked the fans again and bid goodbye. Nobody left their seats shouting for an encore, but I guess that's it. We left with a happy heart and hoping to see them again in the future. ^_^
It's Big Bang TV! We get to see the boys in their 2011 Big Show. How I wish I watched it, it looks amazing with the boys coming out everywhere surprising the fans. =) We even get to see a bit of Dara, CL and Bom there. Seungri teasing Dara noona with his talking skills, LOL! XD
Seungri totally getting pwned by his hyungs during the dinner, LOL! =P After dinner, they went to Dae's filming place to give support. It's so sweet of the members to go that far for Dae. =)
Big Bang TV - Episode 1 (030311) w/ English subtitles [1][2]
Guests: PSY, Dara and Bom, GaIn, Nichkhun and Wooyoung, Yoon Soon Ha, Kwang Hee, Kyung Min, Yoon Seung Ah, Jung Joori, Lee Teuk, Eun Hyuk, Shindong, etc.

Wooyoung's ssanti dance used to be a big hit in Starking and he revealed that his mentor for cheap dance is non other than Psy! With mentor and student together, a ssanti dance battle is not far behind. =)
Dara talked about her secret in Taeyang's "I Need A Girl" MV. The way she tells her story is so animated, LOL! And the lack of reaction she received from the hosts and guests just made me feel so embarrassed for her but she's still so cute! ^^ Seungri-ah, you taught her show too much reaction, she should have stayed as our sweet Dara. =)
Strong Heart - Episode 50 w/ English subtitles [1][2][3][4]
I've finally found time to make this post, I know it's long overdue. =S I went to Korea last December 3, 2010 to catch the YG Family Concert 2010 on December 4th. ^_^ Me and my friend were seated in VIP center while our other friends were seated in VIP left side closer to the stage. =)
I want to share the fancams I was able to take before the ushers start to become strict and approach each person that holds a camera in their hands. I wasn't able to record everything because my camera has limited memory and I was saving up the space for the whole YG Family performance and encore but sadly, that's when they started to get strict and I got none. =S
The concert opened with 2NE1 - "Fire"
2nd song from 2NE1 - "Go Away" - I love it because they performed closer to the audience in the center of the mosh pit. ^^
2NE1's 3rd song is "I Don't Care"
Next Came Se7en with "Better Together"
Se7en's 2nd song is "I'm Going Crazy" and the 3rd song is "Passion".
Next is Gummy who also performed 3 songs (sorry I'm not familiar with the song titles). Each artist/s got to perform 3 songs in the first half.
Big Bang came next and the stadium went wild. Most fans are from Big Bang I think, lots of yellow light. =)
Big Bang - "Gara Gara Go"
Big Bang 2nd song - "Last Farewell" (I love that they sang 2 of my favorite Big Bang songs consecutively!^^)
Big Bang's 3rd song is "Hands Up" that got every body hyped up, I was raising my hands up so no fancam for that, lol! =P
Then came PSY where the whole stadium stood up, jumping and all pumped up! I was amazed at this man's power on stage, I can't see one person not dancing to his songs in there. ^^
Now comes the special stages, Daesung with a solo and a finale of open shirt to our eyes content, lol! Seungri with a comedic stage with the highlight being able to copy YG in front of everyone. Top and GD for a 1TYM number. I'm not sure when this 2NE1 performance came out but I'm sure it's around this time, 2NE1 with "Try to Follow Me" and "Clap Your Hands".
And my favorite performance of the night, Big Bang and 2NE1 for "Lollipop"!!! You'll know it's my favorite by watching the video, LOL! The one screaming in the vid is my friend, keke... XD
Gummy and Bom for "You and I", I regret that I didn't get a fancam for this, it's a really good stage. ~
Next is 2NE1's - "It Hurts"
Se7en for another 3 songs the final with Top for "Digital Bounce", then came another special stage that I was sorry I didn't get on cam - Se7en, Gummy, Taeyang and Dara singing. Next is GD and CL for "The Leaders", Top and GD for "Knock Out", Minzy's solo, CL, Bom and Dara for a Swi.T number, more Big Bang and it's the encore. ~
It was a great experience, not the best concert because there were some technical problems, mic problems, etc. but I'm sure everybody enjoyed it just the same. ^_^ Spread the YG love~
Guests: PSY, Dara and Bom, GaIn, Nichkhun and Wooyoung, Yoon Soon Ha, Kwang Hee, Kyung Min, Yoon Seung Ah, Jung Joori, Lee Teuk, Eun Hyuk, Shindong, etc.
ZE:A's Kwang Hee made me laugh from the time he opened his mouth, he's an idol meant for variety, LOL! XD Volunteering the information that he actually had plastic surgery to everyone is refreshing for a change. And he chose Dara as her ideal girl... for that day, LOL! ^^
Dara talked about her embarrassing experience with Shinee's Minho revealing that she likes younger men like him. ^^ And how her good friend Se7en offered to help her find a match. =P I love their friendship, they're really close. =)
Khun talked about her relationship with wife Victoria. ^^ And Bom talked about the time when she shot a CF with Hyori and Junki and how she got scolded by YG. I'm liking Bom more and more. =)
