Cinderella Park of 2NE1



Although I hardly admit it to anyone I know, I am a self confessed Kpop fan. And I've been proudly spazzing on Kpop artists since '09. The first video that got me hooked on the wave was Big Bang and 2NE1's Lollipop. 


lolli-lolli oh lollipop

First reaction when I saw the vid?

"oh mah gerd. it's sandara parks face. EW."

Sandara "Sandy" Park, collectively known as Krung-Krung (which basically means crazy) is VERY well known to Filipinos. And being a Filipino myself, I was very much used to seeing her face along with her overly used catch phrase "mahal ko kayo" (I love you all), while she waved her hand princess style. She was srsly jologs that time (or jejemon for use of a more updated term) which both loosely translates to tacky, lame or just please-dont.

Jologs? What's this jologs? I cannot comprehend!

Well! Fortunately for us, the most accurate dictionary in the living world, urbandictionary.com, can enlighten us.





But since a picture paints a thousand words, I'll make it easier for you and show you a picture of the very core and essence of jologs... Jolina herself. 



"hi durr."



Yes. I know what you're thinking..



And Dara Park of 2NE1, was just that. 


It's like she was the second coming. 


Perhaps a probable root of this, is from her well-known quirky personality. After joining a Reality Artist show and bagging 1st runner up, the girl shot up to fame in a snap. Faster than you can say bigbangalivetourisonoct25atsmarenasoexcitedwee. The Filipino people just loved her weird personality and odd humor. Movie stints, acting stints, singing stints--everything and ANYTHING was offered to her. She was practically everywhere with her movies, TV shows, endorsements, name it. But sadly her fame faded away as quickly as it came. 

After short while in the Philippine showbiz industry, she went to Korea for her studies at the peak of her career only to come back with her popularity fizzled out. Lady Park wasn't the "It Girl" anymore. She just wasn't as relevant. Sob story, yes. But guuuuurl came back in '09 with a vengeance. 


"that's right. 'coz imma fierce phoenix and i know it."




Our little jologs blossomed into a sophisticated swan! In no way am I hating, I mean I've practically forgotten her tacky stint her in the Philippines--well, almost. 


Am I in or out?
It's just impossible to forget this horrendous song and its equally horrendous mv.
Who knew that this,
would come back like this?
"yea that's right. i'm kissing your gu-junpyo, bitches."
It's a genuine Cinderella story for this one. From that (see below) to VAVAVOOM hello there smexy-laydeh. She's really come so far and I'm happy for her. She was able to shed her old (incredible annoying image) and get away with a complete fierce-sexy-yet-still-sort-of-weird one.
Sandara "Im effing gorg, babe"
