Dara Park's ‘Krung-krung’ persona (Interview Part 4)

As for her fashion sense, “Ganoon pa rin ang fashion ko, ‘krung-krung’ and colorful. Yung look namin sa 2NE1, mas stylish na. Ngayon medyo tomboyish. Tapos yung hair ko parang coconut tree, nakatali, favorite ko yun!

Dara sees she can represent the Etude House well. Her character is not required to be so girly, but more playful and naughty. “Bagay naman ako dito,” she said.

Seeing herself on the screen and the commercial, like a little girl she can’t help but gush and feel a deep sense of pride. “Kakaiba yung feeling ko dito, parang pag pinapanood ko siya, parang ang ganda ko!

During her spare time, she still keeps track of fan websites. “Pumupunta pa rin ako sa PEX,” she said of the online Pinoy forum she frequents, Pinoy Exchange.

Aside from having massages, she loves to shop and eat (although it doesn’t show on her small frame). “Hobby ko ngayon, kain!” she said. Among the food she misses in Manila are sinigang and Jollibee Spaghetti.

But what she misses most are her fans. “Sobrang miss ko sila! Sana hintayin nila ako,” she said, with a hint of sadness. “Nami-miss kaya nila ako?” she asks.

Dara still dreams of coming back to Manila, with her ultimate dream of staging a concert at the Araneta Coliseum.

When you see her transformation, how she has evolved into a huge pop star, your sense of pride increases, as well, in the knowledge that somehow, she is Filipino— even more Filipino than some of our local stars.
