On February 24 episode of MBC's talk show 'Sister's Salon', DARA shared an interesting story behind 2NE1's unique style.

She went on, "The finance team at our agency actually used to tell us off for our excessive spending on outfits. Apparently, we were spending about three times more than how much BIGBANG was spending on their outfits."
She continued, "But we really wanted to differentiate ourselves to the rest of girl groups. So, we used to buy all those stylish things even before our stylists bought them as well."

DARA said, "I used to refuse wearing skirts and dresses that our stylists had brought for me. I used to tell them that I was going to cry if they put them on me. A lot of people asked me whether I was really okay with not wearing 'pretty' clothes, but I was totally fine with it. In fact, I absolutely loved everything about it."
