Sandara brings Tagalog to K-Pop

2NE1albumcover

2NE1′s new tracks from their first mini album have been released and I’ve read that the album sales is doing pretty good. For Filipino fans of Sandara Park and 2NE1, you may be thrilled to learn that Sandara or Dara, as she is now known in Korea, has a line in Tagalog in the song “Let’s Go Party.” Good to know, err, hear that Sandara hasn’t forgotten her Pinoy entertainment roots.

If you want to know what Sandara said, check out the song after the jump. Hint: It’s in the first few lines.

TVXQ Live in Bangkok Fan Account

Warning: This post will be incoherent most of the time (and very looooong) because of all the spazzing the writer did during the concert. This is totally not Asian drama related…well maybe a little since Jaejoong will be starring in Heaven’s Postman with Han Hyo Joo (Spring Waltz, Brilliant Legacy) soon.

Sorry this is really a week too late and right now the boys are rocking Tokyo Dome with their Secret Code 4th Live Tour. Woooh! Can’t wait to see the DVD or the fancams or fanaccounts at least.

Goo Hye Sun’s Art Exhibit

F2 and Jandi

Goo Hye Sun, who played the role of Geum Jan Di in Boys Over Flowers is a multi-talented artist. Aside from acting, she dabbles on singing, piano-playing, composing, directing, novel writing and drawing. Talk about real talent!

After exhibiting her short film “Cheerful Caretaker” in the recent Busan Short Film Festival where she won the audience award, Hye Sun is back, this time taking the role of an artist by having her first art exhibit in Seoul’s Lamer Gallery.

The drawings were mostly used in her novel Tango. I’ve read that the proceeds from this exhibit will go to charity so kudos to Hye Sun for giving back. :-)

Surprisingly, Lee Min Ho and Kim Joon came to support Hye Sun during the opening of her exhibit. Wow. Now I’m extremely jealous. Some people have all the talent and cute guys to boot!
