2NE1's Dara expressed her honest thoughts about her fandom.
On November 10, Dara appeared as a special guest on BamBam's YouTube talk show 'Bam House' and had a quality time with BamBam.
In the video, Dara talked candidly about her life in the entertainment industry and her current situation. She also talked about her future and her thoughts on marriage.
BamBam asked, "Did any Filipino celebrity ever ask you out?" To this, Dara surprised everyone by saying, "A lot. Since a long time ago." BamBam was curious about how they asked her out and expressed, "I wonder how they asked you out. Would they dare to ask Dara noona out?" which brought about laughter.
When asked, "When will you get married?" Dara responded, "Actually, I prefer to live a celibate lifestyle. I can't really say that out loud though because I decreased the no marriage percentage by 2%. As we live, we could start to like things that we didn't like before right? So later, when/if I do decide to get married, (if I say I'm 100% against marriage) then my friends may criticize me so much... So I left a 2% chance of me getting married."
Dara also brought up stories related to 2NE1's activities. She compared the size of her fandom now compared to when she was promoting with 2NE1.
She said, "The fandom has significantly diminished," and explained, "Because our group parted away and there are fans who moved to other groups' (fandoms)."
BamBam asked, "But you're maintaining the fandom name 'Black Jack,' right?" Dara responded, "Yes. We parted away, but the fact that we're 2NE1 doesn't change." She added, "I would like to (make a comeback with 2NE1), and there are a lot of suggestions, but it's not being done yet."
Dara expressed her worry since all the members belong to different labels. However, BamBam encouraged her by sharing how GOT7 recently made a comeback as a group despite the members being on different labels. BamBam explained it was difficult, but he and JB took the lead to bring all the members together.
BamBam suggested, "You could make a group chat room and lead the reformation. I think it'll be awesome. Wouldn't it be fun? I don't think your fans transferred (to other fandoms)." Dara responded by saying, "There are many fans who transferred. A lot of them transferred to BLACKPINK."
She explained the fans who liked the 2NE1 style transferred to BLACKPINK since they give off a similar vibe. But BamBam comforted Dara by sharing, "By my feelings tell me that... I also listen to past songs of 2NE1 sometimes. If 2NE1 comes back, regardless of how many fans transferred or the vacancy of fan activity, and all other things, I think the fans will all comeback too and gather up."
Dara telling facts.
A lot of Blinks don't want to hear this but history will repeat itself. Fans will transfer.
