Before her career as a KPop idol, Dara joined Star Circle Quest, a reality-based talent competition in the Philippines, where she won as a runner-up. She also used to be dubbed the “Pambansang Krung Krung” because of her quirky personality, and gained fame for her songs, such as “Ang Ganda Ko,” and movies, such as “D’Lucky Ones.”
She eventually left the Philippines and began a career with YG Entertainment, debuting in 2009 as part of the group 2NE1, which became famous for their hits “Fire,” “I Don’t Care,” and “I Am The Best.”
The iconic K-Pop girl group is set to embark on a world tour, kicking off in October 2024 in Seoul, South Korea.
