At a website, to celebrate their comeback in the latest
album "
Falling in Love", 2NE1 member Dara reflected some memories on her dating ban being lifted last year.
Sandara wrote in her M2day, "Today's new years! 99% of the texts that I received from my
friends and acquaintances were, 'I hope you get a cool boyfriend this year,'
and 'Have a wonderful love this year!' It seems that people around me are more
worried than I am about getting a boyfriend! As promised by YG CEO, we are free
to date starting this year! Woot! Anyways, everyone, have a blessed new year! I
want to become cuter this year!"
And fans commented, "Congratulations
on your dating ban being over!" and "I hope you meet a nice and cool
boyfriend this year."
But how were they restricted?
I their agency YG Enterainment, the four girls are made to
signed a contract where they are not allowed to date. It is a bit of a personal
issue but the girls are willing to set aside it all just to succeed and focus
on their work.
The 28-year old kpop idol Dara, said, "I kind of pity myself. Last year, I had the ban, so I thought, 'I
have to listen well to the CEO.' But now that it's lifted, it feels even
weirder," and added "Even
though I'm allowed to date now, [I don't]."
Their
leader CL also said that even without a ban on dating,
as Kpop icons, it is still difficult.
For CL, she stated, "My
image is also a problem. Since I say on stage, 'I'm the best', not only men but
also other women get scared when trying to talk or approach me."
The 22-year old rapper/singer has one more year of her
dating ban. Her unnies [Dara and Park Bom] were lifted last year because of
their age but
Minzy and
CL’s dating ban will be lifted next year.
CL also said, “we
don't go out on variety shows, and we only stand on one stage per week, so we
don't have much of a chance to meet other celebrities. Since we're always
working, we don't have opportunities to meet new people. We've never even had a
break since our debut."
Well, fans are happy whether they have a boyfriend or not,
or dating or not, as long as they don’t hurt the hearts of their favorite idols.
Let’s just hope that the
2NE1 girls will find their perfect
match!
