I'm kinda excited??? But also worried???
Like on one hand, YHY & YJS are both veterans so if (read: when) Dara comes off awkward they can save her. But on the other hand Dara + Variety is never consistent??
At least she's continuing to be productive and make money lol.

yeah, I've the same worry, but, if anything, she has proved to be someone that is really open to learning. and she'll have good teachers, at least...

This awesome! She was my first female bias so I'm super happy for her. YJS is a prince. I'm super excited for this and will definitely be watching.

I guess YG actually ants her to re-sign lol
I trust JTBC to make a good show, but I don't see Dara being anything more the arm candy to the men :-/

So I'm guessing the pilot with Hani/Sojin went well?

I'm tired of singing shows, but i'll check it out for the mere fact that YJS is on cable and Sandara.

Well, good luck to her though I have a feeling this won't turn out well as she always sucked at hosting the few times she tried. Plus she always felt super unnatural in varieties. Out of 2NE1 Park Bom is the only one with variety sense (her situation really makes me hate knetz and their unforgiving ways towards female entertainers).

Isn't Dara totally awkward though? I used to stan them hardcore back in the day and I remember she was very quiet and awkward in the few varieties they had.

That being said, people praise her for her acting and I don't find that mindblowing either. She should just do photoshoots and CFs and make some more money!

Beside the whole reflection thing, Bom will always be my first choice when it comes to variety for 2NE1.

I think even tho she's awks at it, she's always liked variety and wanted to host/be in one. I can totally see here going to Seungri for notes tbh, and I hope she's able to get rid of her awkwardness ASAP

YASSS RISE QUEEEEEEN

She totally deserves it, I'm loving that Dara is finally getting a chance to shine :')

she was always really fun and funny on 2ne1tv. she has a ton of personality, i hope she gets to show it here.

This is great. She's awkward and shy by default but I always thought that if YG allowed her more variety show experience, she'd have loosened up and blossomed just like anybody else. I hope the show does well.

She practically got the best co-MCs possible, like you can't go higher in Korea in that department, so please, do well lol
