Sandara revealed that when she was still a trainee and unsure of her debut, she had an idea that involved G-Dragon's help.

“I wasn't a fixed member yet. I was auditioning to act [and] I joined while I was training to act. So it was a dramatic change,” Sandara said.

“I asked G-Dragon when "LIES" was out and BIGBANG had more power. I thought if G-Dragon went to Hyun-suk and said 'Dara is really good' [then] it would really happen,” she shared.

While this could've boosted her trainee status, there's no doubt that Sandara debuted as a 2NE1 member since she had so much star quality and fit well with the 2NE1's image.

Sandara added, "But we did have to film ourselves singing every month so he [Yang Hyun-suk] saw it.

"He said I was the most gangster. I was so thrilled and proud that he said that," she said.

"I have the blood of a rebel," Sandara declared.
