2NE1 Minzy and Dara show off a mischievous and cute image on Instagram for Vietnamese fans

This morning, a cute mirrored photo of Minzy with a pretty hat and a sly smile showed up on Instagram, with the message “Good morning vietnam!” accompanying the picture.

Short and sweet, and vaguely reminiscing of the beautiful movie “Good Morning Vietnam” with Robin Williams, both for the catchphrase and the picturesque garment –whether it was intentional or not.

The photo elicited numerous comments form the fans, and most of them were just calling her “cute” or encouraging her to rest, or offering other supportive words.

Similarly, Dara also posted a photo of herself in a characteristic hat with a message of love for Vietnamese fans. Of course, the responses were mostly the same, praising her good looks and sending lots of love.

Many fans also thanked the girls for their hard work in the last few hours, as today the “2NE1 Galaxy Stage in Vietnam” took place.

Could these girls ever get even more lovely?
