2PM & T-ARA team up with Look Optical to raise money for burn victims

On December 22nd, eye-glass enterprise ‘Look Optical‘ will be launching ‘Another Dream Party with 2PM & T-ARA‘ at club ‘Holic‘ located in Seoul.

The event is a part of project ‘Another Face Another Dream‘, which was put together to aid patients who have suffered facial burns. The company donates 1,000 Korean Won (a little less than $1 USD) per each pair of glasses they sell to help with these patients’ medical expenses. They will also broaden their horizons starting next year with charity work and related events through ‘Another Dream Party’.

‘Another Dream Party with 2PM & T-ARA’ will be divided into two segments, the first consisting of 2PM & T-ARA’s autograph-signing event and an auction for their worn glasses and fashion items. The second half will consist of a club party and a ring ceremony. Those who want to attend the event must fill out the application that can be obtained after purchasing a pair of glasses at Look Optical from December 23rd to February 8th, 2012.

Where in the world is KARA’s Jiyoung?

KARA‘s Jiyoung took a cue from fictional character Carmen Sandiego to play a game of ‘Catch me if you can’ with her fans.

On December 22nd, Jiyoung shared a new picture through Twitter, saying, “Where am I? China? Japan? hehehe”

The idol is seen posing cheekily in the middle of a small street with a flag propped conspicuously in the background.

While some fans immediately recognized her location, others commented, “Jiyoung! Are you in China??”, “Must be in a Chinatown somewhere“, and “So distracted by her cuteness that I didn’t even notice the flag.”

(For those of you who need refresher in your geography, the flag is from Taiwan.)
