That was when DARA confessed, "My English has an accent. To be specific, it's a Filipino accent because I grew up in the Philippines. Let me be honest here, I used to be embarrassed about having a Filipino English accent."

She went on, "After I made debut as a member of 2NE1, a lot of people told me that I had a really cool English accent. Since then, I gradually gain my confidence. Then, I came to the point where I no longer felt embarrassed about my accent."
Lastly, she told the viewers, "Whichever English accent you have, you should not be ashamed of it. Everyone should be proud of their accent."
