2NE1 Sandara Park talks about the opportunity she was given to be a singer. For the 2nd episode of Strong Heart aired on SBS on 13th October, Sandara Park said, “I came down to Korea from the Philippines and Yang HyunSeok who trains singers in Hiphop music told me, ‘You cannot be a singer’.”
She added, “So he persuaded me to do acting. And then when they decided to form a new girlgroup, I was anticipating but I was not given any opportunities to practise.” “And there was once a chance where I can go sing at the karaoke with Se7en and GDragon. I thought if I do well at the karaoke session, I may be given some opportunity. So I prepared a song and went with them and the atmosphere was fun and then I said ‘I want to try for once’.”
She continued, “After a few days, I filmed in the practice room and showed to president Yang and for the first time he said, ‘I saw potential in you. I am going to give you a month’s time’. And with that I became a singer.”
Meanwhile, during the episode, the 2NE1 members each revealed some truthful talks and also powerful dance performances.
Excerpt from an article written by Glen P. Sibonga at Philippine Entertainment Portal
Sandara Park is loyal and a wife material according to ex-lover Wednesday, October 7, 2009 01:08 PM
Joseph Bitangcol was asked about the present status of his relationship with Sandara Park who is now famed in Korea as a member of the girl band 2ne1.
He said, “We are okay. We are good friends.”
Do they still have communication?
He said, “We don’t have communication right now. She is busy with her career in Korea…”
Joseph said that he wasn’t able to get the new mobile number of Sandara the last time they had a reunion with other Star Circle Quest members (when Sandara had a three-day vacation last August of this year).
Joseph said, “I thought she is still using her old mobile number (which we use for exchanging communication) but I found out after she left that she already changed her number. When we met up, I was quite reserved as her road manager was always around. The two of us did not have a chance to have private talk. The next day, we planned on going out. I thought we would have a chance to talk but it did not push through.”
Is it possible for their love relationship to be renewed?
Joseph answered, “It is still uncertain. It is difficult at this point as she is preoccupied with her career in Korea. If we will get back together, it would be a long distance affair; it would be difficult. But I’m not closing my doors on the possibility of getting back together.
Does he still love Sandara?
He answered, “Yes, the love is still there. Our relationship lasted for three years. It was the longest relationship that I had. In all the girlfriends that I had, she is the one I loved the most. I still think of her. There are times that I would think of her condition, if she is doing okay.”
Did he regret parting ways with Sandara?
He said, “The reason for regret is knowing the fact that she is loyal. If you get to know her, you would know that Sandy is indeed a wife material (possesses the good traits of a wife). I am saddened because she could have been a fitting lifetime partner (a wife). We both know the reason of our break up. It was a mutual decision.”
Since the break up is already a long time ago, will he be able to share the reason behind it?
Joseph begged off, “It is better not to share it and just keep it to ourselves (him & Sandara).”
After news went out that GDragon and Sandara Park will once again perform their collaboration ‘Hello’ on coming Chuseok special SBS ‘Idol Big Show’, a photo of the performance which was revealed has caught the attention of many netizens.
The photo was spread rapidly amongst netizens on online noticeboards, and the photo was called the “GDragon Sandara Park Kiss”.
This will be the 2nd time the 2 will perform the song ‘Hello’ after the first live performance of it on Global Gathering recently.
Many netizens thought the 2 looked good together.
Can’t wait for their performance on 5th September!

Dara's first solo, a digital single titled "KISS" featuring fellow 2NE1 member, CL.
This song might be created for Dara's upcoming Cass Beer commercial with Lee Min Ho where they have to kiss for the CF, it was reported that Dara and MinHo locked lips more than 100 times while filming....
holy freaking Gandhi.. what kind of luck does Dara have?
I know many of you will say that MinHo is the lucky one here, but as a female specie and a fan of BOF, yea I have to stick to my statement haha..
Idol group members who are proud of their looks – how would their family members look like too? It really all runs in the genes.
On various online portal sites, many netizens uploaded photos of So Nyeo Shi Dae TaeYeon, 2NE1 Sandara Park and Big Bang TOP’s siblings, gaining attention of the netizens.
First there was TaeYeon’s elder brother. Netizens said, “He looked like TaeYeon even in just one look at him. Especially his laughing expression looks so much like her.” Netizens also commented on how features like conplexion, eyes, nose and lips runs in their family.
Next is Sandara Park’s younger brother (Park SangHyun). He looked alike to Sandara Park for his cute-looking and lovely look. Netizens say, “They should do a duet together”, “He’s cute and goodlooking” etc
TOP’s elder sister (Choi HyeYoon) has also been the netizens’ hot topic. The 2 siblings have been called the example of ‘beauty genes run in the family’ – with the same huge eyes, and sharp features. She is very wellknown amongst fans for her looks which are so much like an entertainer – she receives more than 2K views to her minihompy everyday.
Netizens say, “Family of idols are outstanding from just their looks”, “It is good to just think about living in a family of goodlooking family members”. etc.
The rumors are true, Boys over Flowers fame Lee Minho and 2NE1's Sandara Park filmed a new CF for OB Beer's Cass 2X alcoholic beverage.
Utilizing one of Korea's biggest stars Lee Minho and 2NE1's Sandara Park, the theme of the CF will be based on the way young couples "love." Which obviously means, a love story will brew between Dara and Lee Minho!
OB Beer's Marketing Manager stated:
"We chose top stars Lee Minho and Sandara Park as their trendy image matches perfectly with the image of our Cass beer. We're staying in touch with the younger generation and this CF will start a new trend."
Talentadong pinoy... a filipino version of "got talent" by Simon Cowell, 4 week defending champion Tribal Dancers defended their title for the fifth week with a sizzling hot performance dancing to the beat of fire and they literally was on fire!
The performance was pretty tight with hip movings considering they were also circling around balls of fire while dancing!!! Really amazing! Check the performance out! :D
KBS ‘Yoo HeeYeol’s Sketchbook’ is one of my favourite shows on KBS channel, and to make things sweeter, 2NE1 appeared on the show aired on 11th July.
They performed ‘Fire’, ‘Take A Bow’ together and also did solo performances – Minzy’s solo dance to Boom Boom Pow and Bommie’s ‘I want you back’ are my favourites.
Watch the performances under the cut! and give opinion on their performances! were they very incredible? I love them so much..
Their ‘Take A Bow’ cover. I love love love it!
The live band, and the girls’ harmony is just fabulous.
They also performed ‘Fire’
MinJi with her dance performance of ‘Boom Boom Pow’
Bommie’s tribute to Pop prince Michael Jackson with ‘I want you back’. Wow, her vocal capabilities are unbelievable.
Sandara also performed the hit ‘In or Out’ released in the Philippines
CL performs ‘DJ’, the girls also joined her for the performance. A really fun performance.
YG said during 2NE1 TV aired on Mnet on 8th July about the first impression he had of each of the 2NE1 members, the selection for 2NE1 members, and what the production team had thought about the group.
Check out what he said inside this post and give your opinion on his opinions!
YG Entertainment Yang HyunSeok has spoken very highly of 2NE1 leader CL
He said on CL, “She was one of the friends waiting outside YG office. And she called out ‘Hey there~’, and when I turned back I could only ask ‘How old are you?’. I had the instinct that I should have her in YG.”
After listening to her audition CD, Teddy and Yang HyunSeok had responded by, “This is no joke. This is good stuff.”
Big Bang SeungRi also said, “Yang HyunSeok has asked me over to show me CL’s audition CD and asked ‘She did well right? This is no joke right?’ and he was telling me ‘But SeungRi ah, what are you doing now?’. At that moment I was so embarrassed.”. TOP has also said, “She is more than ordinary when it comes to pose and rhythm.”
WHILE HE SAID, "SANDARA PARK'S CAPABILITIES ONLY ALMOST MADE IT, I THOUGHT SHE WOULD NOT DEBUT."
Yang HyunSeok said of Sandara Park, “She had dreamed to be a singer and has a passion for YG’s music but her abilities were almost just there. I thought she would not be able to debut.”
But Sandara Park has shown get improvement and development as a trainee. YG said, “She is the toughest (being able to endure it) in the group. She is a friend who made the impossible possible. She is someone who works really hard.”
The girls’ producer Teddy said, “Even though she is a shy person, when she does promotions, she acts like a 4-dimensional and hardworking individual.”
---------------------------------------------
I think 2NE1 members are really extraordinary girls.. firstly when I watched their MV and performance, they did very well and can be predicted that they wil be a great kpop singer group.
2NE1's Dara Park speaking Filipino for CF with Kristine Hermosa, also dubbed as one of the princesses of Philippine tv drama. Heard about American Idol? In 2004, she joined Star Circle Quest that's reality tv competion and the contestants are judged based on talents like singing, dancing & acting. a part of cf is loosely based on Sandara's ordeal. Though one of the judges didn't favor her but she's always saved when eliminations came. She made history by garnering about 2 million text/ SMS votes all throughout the entire show.
Many thanks to our staff ThatsMeant2B for subbing the video!
Sandara was so young in this old CF and she is singing in Filipino's language,thanks to our staff who subbed the video so that we can understand it,thanks to ThatsMeant2B for her good work!!
