Sandara Park of 2ne1 has posted yet another picture update from her me2day account a few days ago. This time, the bubbly kpop star is joined by fellow YG Entertainment talent Se7en in a playful master and slave scenario. Included in the photo of her and Se7en, Dara wrote the following:

“I live under senior Vennie’s rule nowadays… TT TT I got my palm-tree-hair grabbed! kekekeke I can say that senior Vennie has the greatest personality I’ve ever seen! ^^ I think his new album’s really really good! TT Smell of success!!! Hwaiting hwaiting yayaya!!! ^. ^ (Please buy us meat~! ke)”

Although both Dara and Se7en were born in 1984 (Dara b. November 12, 1984, Se7en b. November 9, 1984), she still considers se7en her senior and mentor  in her kpop music career. Se7en blasted on the kpop scene under YG Entertainment in 2003 while Dara debuted together with 2ne1, also under YG Entertainment, last May 2009.

If the ongoing negotiation goes as planned, according to rising Philippine hip-hop artist Young JV, a proposed Manila concert for top Korean girl group 2ne1 will be held in the “Big Dome” Araneta Coliseum in March next year.

Young JV said in an interview that D-Mac, his former schoolmate, contacted him on the phone for his possible participation as a headliner for the proposed 2ne1 concert. D-Mac, a local Philippine concert scene promoter is currently in talks with YG Entertainment, 2ne1’s management company. Also according to Young JV, other concert promoters are also working to bring in Rain, the Wonder Girls, and other top Korean pop stars to the Philippines for a possible concert in the future.

Young JV expressed his excitement for the promising opportunity to front act for 2ne1. The hip-hop artist said that he hopes that the planned 2ne1 concert in March pushes through  ’cause the possible exposure from the show will be a big boost to my young career’, also citing that 2ne1 is currently one of the top stars in the Asian music scene today.

2ne1 also has a huge following in the Philippines thanks to its member, Sandara Park (DARA), a former ABS-CBN Star Magic talent who released an album in 2004 which became a Philippine hit due to its carrier single “In or Out”.
