Dara says she wants to release a solo album by the summer!

One Step\', former 2NE1 member Dara opened up about the possibility of her solo album this year!

Dara said, "I feel like [the solo album] should be within this year, but I haven\'t talked about it with my label CEO yet." 

She continued, "When an article about a solo album comes up, I think my label CEO will call me and go, \'What\'s this?\' I\'d like for it to be released this summer. There hasn\'t been any talk of it so far."

Dara also talked about starting anew by herself, outside of 2NE1. "I was able to live comfortably as a member of 2NE1. From now on, I have to march out to the battlefield on my own. I will live headstrong in the harsh world. It\'s time to live the 3rd chapter of my life," she shared. 

Meanwhile, \'One Step\' premieres in theaters this April 6. 

But can\'t sing or act to save your life! Stop being greedy Dara!!

Omg omg if she does imma be LIT FOR DAYS like can u imagine all four of them will be releasing albums like even Park Bom said she would AHHHH!!

She needs to work really hard to put something decent until summer since she used to be the member with the least lines in 2NE1 because she was the least talented of 4 when it comes to music. She\'s good in acting and variety, though.

Yes you are correct there but when you compare her to her past her and a present her you can see how her voice really improved a lot. Sandara always gives us a surprise when it comes to talent. She knows what she want and she knows how to improve and get what she wants.

(Haters really fast! tsk tsk tsk)...Anyway... Darayah~~~ im sure you can do it! First chapter when shes in the Philippines, 2nd in 2NE1 and 3rd as a solo artist...Good Luck to you Girl! Fighting!

lol more like the summer in 2 years IF she starts tomorrow.

Yes, she renewed her contract with YG but the solo album offer is from the Philippines (if I\'m not mistaken).

If YG doesn\'t know about it, I\'m assuming it\'s a solo album offer in the Philippines?
