Sandara Park guested on the March 22nd broadcast of SBS PowerFM’s “Cultwo Show” with Brian.
During the radio show, DJ Kim Tae-gyun asked Sandara Park, “I heard many people say you have SM-style visual, but you couldn’t join Girls’ Generation?” . In response, Sandara Park said, “Not only my fans but even non-fans also say ‘Sandara Park is SM’s style’. I may look like an SM idol, but I’m a gangster inside. I like hip-hop so I went to YG. If I went to SM, I would be eliminated (from Girls’ Generation) anyway” , drawing laughter.
Hearing that, Brian commented, “No, your visual is so SM’s style. You suit Girls’ Generation very well” . Kim Tae-gyun added, “You have the Girls’ Generation vibe on the outside but your side profile gives off a similar feeling to Eugene” . Sandara Park shyly responded, “I heard that a lot when I was young” .
Later, Kim Tae-gyun continued asking, “What does 2NE1 mean?” . Sandara Park explained, “The most powerful number in the Blackjack game is 21. If you get 21, you win over everyone” , adding “So we take the number, and NE means ‘New Evolution’, a new evolution in the 21st century. In general, it means we will keep developing” .
Brian commented, “I thought it meant you guys would be active for 21 years” , Sandara Park jokingly replied, “There’s not much time left until our 21st year” .
