| 2NE1's Dara and Tahm Tahm |
Posted by zdorama @ zdoramaagain.blogspot.com
I think I've mentioned here before of how my friend's one big K-pop love is for the super YG Entertainment Girl Group 2NE1, and every now and then, he'd muse about how he HAD to get around to making me copies of their reality show 2NE1 TV, assuring me that I would "see the girls in a whole new light" once I watched it.
Problem was was that he wanted to record the show when it began airing from the first season, but after the TV station's Holiday preemptions and delays, ultimately decided he'd just go ahead and burn me off copies of the currently airing season (Season Three), and just this past weekend gave me the first 6 episodes!
Well, he did predict that I'd be amazed at how different I'd see 2NE1 after watching the reality series, and I have to say that he was TOTALLY CORRECT! Even though I'd seen a clip of Minzy showing off her Gundam Figure Collection online some time ago, I had no idea they were this “down to earth”…!

CL. Wow, I had no idea this chick was so laid back. I love the fact that she can be so cutting Edge when she's onstage or shooting a video, and then be in a restaurant relaxed with no makeup and casual t-shirt and jeans. And speaking of no makeup, my friend Car once said she saw a picture of CL barefaced and swore she “looked just like a guy”, but I think CL looks good even without the makeup, and in fact, without it, she looks like a cool surfer chick that you might actually work with at a Record or Bookstore, if you know what I mean!

| Sandara 'Dara" Park |
Since I’ve seen her in the videos and her hilarious appearance on Happy Family Outing, you’d think I’d already know this, but I didn’t realize Dara was so pretty! I have to say that I really enjoy seeing her , especially when she’s all done up…she is EXTREMELY easy on the eyes!

| Dara and Tahm Tahm |
And one of the sweetest things has GOT to be her attachment to her stuffed animal (monster? thing?) Tahm Tahm... watching her dote over the doll just makes me smile! Had to LAUGH watching her talking to herself: first accusing CL of taking Tahm Tahm, then deciding she probably dropped it on CL's bed herself!
And far from that mopey girl on Happy Family Outing, she is very much a strong leader-type, and in fact the vibe I get is that she and CL are almost like co-leaders...

| Minzy Style: Flying in Class! |
And just who’s the maknae of this group anyway? I always seemed to think it was Minzy, because in the interviews I saw she hardly spoke (of course, in the interviews I saw, the rest of ‘em were all talking English, so…) and seemed a bit shy. But watching this, she’s SO cool and styling, in fact, she's the one that I think looks the best as far as fashion goes, very svelte and sultry- I love this type of outfits more than those "totally out-there" ensembles CL wears, though of course she looks cool, too! In any case, once I began watching her and she seemed so much more mature, I had to think to myself, OK, wait…is BOM the youngest?

| Hanging on for dear life at a Bungee Jump: Bom |
And Oh My God, BOM!!!! Bom is soooooo uber-spastically freakin’ ADORABLE!!! I wouldn’t have ever thought that from just seeing her in their videos, but on 2NE1TV, she steals every scene she’s in!!! The scene where she’s trying to tell a story about Minzy in London, and everyone keeps cutting her off and then she spazzes out, Oh MAN, SO FUNNY!!!!

| "Forget It!!" whines a frustrated Bom, LOLOL |
Entering the new apartment and being convinced she is locked out because she pushed the door instead of pulled, LOL! And I can't even begin to tell you how darn cute that whole “Corn” thing was! Bom is on a strict diet and shouldn't be snacking, nonetheless, we see her late at night snacking on some corn! Later her trainer tells her he watched the video of her late-night snacking and severely (and hilariously) reprimands her!

| Bom chowing down on some Corn |
I can't even count how many times I re-watched the part where she is being drilled and has to yell out to her trainer about how much she hates corn, she won't eat corn, corn is bad for her, etc! AHAHAHA! Oh Man, these early clips (from Season One where she is slightly more chubby) make my day, she is hands down adorkable!!
Okay, I gotta get back to MORE 2NE1TV!!!
