• Sandara Park opens up about her intense fear of Flying and how flight attendants help her cope

    Dara of 2NE1 admitted that she is afraid of flying.

    Dara and Solbi were special guests on the December 8 episode of SBS PowerFM's "Cultwo Show: Escape at 2 O'Clock." During the "Hajima!" part, Dara talked about how scared she was of flying.

    She said, "I've always had a fear of flying ever since I was young." She went on, "Because I flew internationally so often, I must have become famous among flight attendants at some point."

    "If Dara is on board, you need to take good care of her," they would probably say. "If the plane shook, I would cry and not be able to eat," she said.

    They held my hand, made me ramen, and even gave me toys.

    She went on, "They would comfort me like a child, probably thinking about how to make me feel better."

    "Do you want a doll?" they would ask me. 'Do you want ramen?' I even talked to the pilot, who told me that there is some rough air but nothing to worry about.

    Dara then said, "I didn't know what was wrong until I went to therapy with Dr."

    "Hey, Eun Young. It's fun to go to a new place, but you have to say goodbye. I had to leave my family and friends behind when I moved to the Philippines, which is where my fear came from. I have gotten over it a lot lately." said Dara.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
