2NE1's Dara and Ailee were spotted at the State Dinner for Philippine President Benigno Aquino III on October 17. It was hosted by South Korean President Park Geun-hye, and was held at the State Guest House of Cheong Wa Dae, or Blue House.


According to Radio TV Malacañang, Ailee was one of the performers. The others were Ensemble Sinawi, Philippine soprano Rachelle Gerodias, NY Quartet and jazz saxophonist Alvin Cornista.

The two Korean idols have connections to the Philippines. Dara first rose to fame in the Philippines when she became the runner of Hero Angeles on Star Circle Quest 1, while Ailee did promotional videos for the Philippine tourism.

President Aquino was the first leader to have a State Visit under President Park’s administration.
