2NE1 Dara's acting chops are being put to work! 

YG Entertainment revealed on September 15 that she was confirmed for KBS's one-act drama, 'Missing Korea,' in which she would be the lead, the North Korean representative for the Miss Korea pageant.  

The drama will take place in a fictional 2020 in which both North and South Korea are exchanging civilities and cooperating economically.  In order to also share in culture, the countries decide to host the very first North and South Korean joint Miss Korea competition. Despite the political background it appears to have, the drama will primarily be a romance comedy.  After the one-act drama airs in October, it will meet the public once again in a web drama format.
