BIG BANG's Taeyang has finally followed former 2NE1 member Sandara Park on Instagram. It comes as a happy surprise for fans of the two YG artists who have been friends for a long time, especially after news that Sandara's account fell prey to a hacking attempt recently.

A quick glance at Taeyang's following list on Instagram shows that he recently followed the "ne Step" star whom he has been friends with for almost a decade. Sandara quickly celebrated the new follow with a quick comment on Taeyang's post of his cat with a cute emoji.

Taeyang and Sandara who hail from two of YG Entertainment's most successful K-pop groups BIG BANG and 2NE1 have a very close relationship outside of social media. Sandara was even featured as the leading lady in Taeyang's music video "I Need A Girl."

In her guesting stint for "Strong Heart", Sandara confessed that she liked Taeyang least among the BIG BANG members but this was said quite fondly. She explained that her relationship with Taeyang was so playful that he would roll her on the mat whenever they would come across each other for practice at the YG studio. Amid the laughter in the studio, Sandara also shared that Taeyang was so oblivious of her embarrassment during the episodes that he would just automatically tease her like an elementary schoolboy whenever they would see each other.

During the same guesting on "Strong Heart," Sandara also admitted that she used a secret weapon during the filming of Taeyang's music video, something he was unaware of until she made a confession on live television. The former 2NE1 singer said that she used a butt pad to enhance her shape and appear sexier for the video, All Kpop reported.

Throughout the years, Taeyang has also been a friend to Applers, Nyongdals and Daragons, shippers of Sandara Park and G-Dragon dating in real life. Taeyang, who is one of G-Dragon's closest friends would always leave hints and tease the pair with each other during concerts and appearances, much to their chagrin.
