Dara revealed she felt insecure as a member of now disbanded YG Entertainment girl group 2NE1 during filming for JTBC's 'Talking Street'.

According to producers, Dara expressed, "I felt like a side dish in 2NE1. In the past, we were guests on 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook', and he joked, 'CL is the rapper, Minzy is the dancer, and Dara takes care of the image of the group?' I cried my eyes out when we got home to the dorm."

She added it was the 2NE1 members who helped boost her confidence. Dara shared, "Whenever I lost confidence, the members would encourage me, and I was able to regain strength."

You can catch the full episode of 'Talking Street' featuring Dara on January 25 at 9:30PM KST.

2ne1 had topped their fields. CL - Top Notched Rapping/ Minzy - Top Notched Dancing / Bom - Top Notched Vocal and Dara - Is one of the All Time - Top Visuals in Kpop history. Definitely each one of them had contributed to the immense success of 2NE1.

She might not have that same level of talent as the three but Trust me, her Visual is no joke.

Its true though. CL, Minzy, and Bom had the show talent on point, but Dara falls short because she can perform well but definitely not on the other three's level. When she was becoming famous in the Philippines, I used to really hate her because it feels like she's getting by because she's pretty. But as I got older, I discovered her charm and the power it holds to last in the industry.

When dara was becoming famous in the Phils it was because they find her amusing but beautiful at the same time. Talent wise though, she sure do fall short on singing dancing and acting. But because people like her thats why she is able to maintain her status as a Halyu star. She is hard working though....
