[NEWS] Sandara Park ‘Star Diary’ Part 11: “Why don’t they call me?”

Spring has come, the season that makes the hearts of many girls flutter. As the spring wind blows softly, Sandara’s heart also flutters.

Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Shim-Cong from the Korean Cinderella story all met their Princes on a white horse but why haven’t I~.”

The 27 year old Sandara Park dreams of love. As she tells [me] that she sincerely wants to go out with someone with her wide opened round eyes, I became curious about the kind of prince she dreams of.

“Hm… Won Bin and Kang Dong Won? (haha) I’m kind of sad that Won Bin is not so active these days. He was really cool in the drama “Kkok-ji”. I am into tough, young boys and in ”Kkok-ji” Won Bin was exactly that.”

Sandara Park, who is still lost in the dream of finding love, has discovered that in love, she is a fool. And on top of that, Sandara Park isn’t very good at speaking in front of men.

I don’t have much ae-gyo (cute act) and can’t talk easily to men. Men say a few words to me and then they leave because my response is kind of awkward for them. The members who have seen this tell me ‘You will never get a boyfriend unless you change that about you’.

‘The fool Dara’ Sandara Park has had only one experience in the field of love. She had a boyfriend whom she dated for about one year but they kind of grew apart. After that, and for a long time, she has been ’single’. She expressed her impatience [for finding a boyfriend] without hesitation.

When I become close to someone, my personality becomes bright. In 2NE1, I am in charge of being ‘frivolous’. It’s a bit hard to get to know me but once you know me, I am ‘frivolous’ Sandara.

Sandara Park says that she doesn’t think she’s very popular, but in reality, she is the dream girl for many Korean boys. The number of male celebrities who pick Sandara Park is not small either.

“I think there are a few people who pick me as their ideal girl. I saw it on air too. But how come none of them ever contact me? I thought ‘why don’t they contact me’. I don’t think I’m very popular. There is no one around me that pays attention to me, but I’m with my managers all the time. It’s a bit saddening.”

For Sandara ‘fool Dara’ Park, Yang Hyun-Suk has even changed the contract agreement. But Sandara Park still feels a bit sad.

“Mr. YG has shortened the no-boyfriend clause in the contract from 5 to 3 years. But I don’t think it will do anything. Three years from now, I’ll be in my 30s. Work is important. [But] I am confident that I can be in love and do well in work at the same time.”

When she was younger, Sandara Park dreamed of being married at the age of 22. She wanted to wear a wedding dress when she was at her prettiest and best stage.

“I don’t want it to be after 30. But I think it will have to due to the contract. It makes me sad. There aren’t a lot of opportunities either..”

[NEWS] Lee Hee Jae is mad at Tiffany?



Baeksang Art Ceremony's MC Lee Hee Jae is a bit angry at Tiffany. After the 1st rehearsal,
the mega-pop singers SNSD stepped onto the stage and Lee Hee Jae followed, trying to find Tiffany.

On stage Lee Hee Jae acted as if he was waiting for Tiffany and asked her in playful manor,
"Why did you do that to nephew? My nephew is hurt"

Apparently, Lee Hee Jae's nephew visited the broadcast station the other day and saw SNSD's Tiffany. He ran toward her with
great joy. However, Tiffany who finished her broadcast, didn't really get to greet Lee Hee Jae's nephew properly.

Then Lee Hee Jae's nephew ran back to his uncle and told him what happened. Lee Hee Jae, after hearing his nephew's story,
got revenge on Tiffany by giving her playful scolding during rehearsal. Tiffany said in reply, "When you come next time, I'll do better."
and said goodbyes, effectively ending this small relationship problem between Lee Hee Jae's nephew and Tiffany.

Um Dong Jin - Intern Reporter

**Note: when I say playful manor, I mean in a joke-kind of question. Also, playful scolding isn't a direct translation, a direct
translation would state a scolding mixed with cuteness(aegyo).

[NEWS] Im Seulong "Because of Taecyeon, my mouth almost got frozen"!


2AM Im Seulong revealed an anecdote related to 2PM Ok Taecyeon.

On the episode of SBS' 'BFF Note 3' aired March 26th, the reknown BFFs of the pop world, Kim Jong Gook and Hong Kyung Min appeared on it, showing their " '76 Year of Dragon Club " friendship.

On this day, in the 'Shining Table(Meal)' corner, hoobae singers 2AM's JoKwon and Im Seulong appeared in a surprise appearance.

On this day, Im Seulong revealed an anecdote that happened between him and Ok Taecyeon. He said, "During our trainee years, if we did something wrong, we were sent home for a period of time. Once, Ok Taecyeon went to Argentina to shoot a CF, but didn't return right away, and visited his parents' house at Boston. Because he broke the rules, he was supposed to go home but since home was too far away, spent the night in the underground floor of the JYP Studio. It was mid-winter and very cold, but I slept beside him to keep him company. I woke during daybreak, and my fingers and toes wouldn't move."

He then added, "Later, we both woke up at the same time- our mouths weren't rolled over*, but we were shivering like crazy. Our mouths were almost rolled over."

Meanwhile, about Ok Taecyeon, Im Seulong said, "We're really close. In the future, we even promised to stick together until silvertown."

[NEWS] Jo Kwon, "When I begged for 1300 won, the girl I slept beside at the subway station was..."



2AM JoKwon introduced his special friendship with Wonder Girls Sunye.

On the episode of SBS' 'BFF Note 3 - Shining Table (Meal)' that was aired on the night of 26th, they invited the singers Kim Jong Gook and Hong Kyung Min. Also, 2AM's JoKwon and Im Seulong made a surprise guest appearance, creating a friendly atmosphere.

In the corner where they were supposed to fill out the blanks of 'For a friend I did 00', JoKwon said, "I shed tears for Sunye," attracting attention. He started off by saying, "During my trainee years, I really wanted to eat don katsu one day."

After eating the don katsu and the practice was done, JoKwon realized at the KangNam Bus Station that he'd spent all his money eating don katsu. He explained, "After thinking, I begged the people in the line for the money for the bus, 1300 won. (equal to about 1.14USD) However, so coldly, not one person gave me the money."

JoKwon reminisced about the poor trainee years, saying, "I called Sunye. After waiting about an hour, Sunye came. She brought exactly just 1300 won. It was because she didn't have any money, either."

Sunye brought the money, but the last bus had already gone. JoKwon said, "There wasn't a place to sleep, so me and Sunye supported each other at the subway station and slept until the sun rose."

He then remembered, "While riding the subway after, I felt very sad. That was when I was on the 6th year of being a trainee, and I wondered if I really needed to put so much time to do this. Also, if we did debut as a singer, if we would succeed. Like this, we walked for an hour or two at 6 in the morning, crying, to the practice studio."

On this day, eyes were on JoKwon when he revealed his sturdy friendship with Sunye, saying, "Sunye is a family-like friend that have been through a lot with me for 8 years."

[NEWS] Yuna kim doesn't finish first?



Defending world champion Kim Yu-na struggled in her title defense.

The 19-year-old South Korean scored her third career-worst 60.30 points to finish seventh in the women's short program of the World Figure Skating Championships in Turin, Italy on Saturday morning (KST).

She had 58.32 and 59.85 points in the Grand Prix and World Championships, respectively, in the 2007-08 season.

In addition, it was the first time for the three-time World Grand Prix Final winner not to make the top five in the event.

American Mirai Nagasu led the pack with 70.40 points to beat Olympic silver medalist Mao Asada of Japan by 2.32. Laura Lepisto of Finland was third place on 64.30.

The Olympic champion opened her routine with a solid triple lutz-triple toe loop combination, but she under-rotated her triple flip and missed a layback spin before her spiral sequence was downgraded.

Kim's compatriot Kwak Min-jung scored 47.46 points to finish 23rd and qualify for the free skating.

The 16-year-old, who placed 13th at the Vancouver Winter Olympics last month, failed to land a triple lutz-double toe loop combination.

The free skating is scheduled for Saturday night.
