Sandara Park Family Lived In South Korea And The Philippines
Born on November 12, 1984, Sandara Park is currently 35, and her zodiac sign is Scorpio.
The Park family moved to Daegu, South Korea, in 1993 but relocated to Alabang, Muntinlupa, Philippines, in 1994 in hopes of a fresh start and a better life.
Although they were initially a well-to-do business family, their Father, Ik-Su Park, later was unable to make ends meet. He went bankrupt after a heavy loss in his business.
Sandara did her schooling in the Philippines, during which she met Filipino Actress Pauleen Luna, who persuaded her to participate in the singing competition show Star Circle Quest 2004.
She felt discriminated against due to her Korean origin but finished in the second position.
It was her turning point, and she later joined Star Magic, an event-organizing agency that eventually helped her get many ads, films, and television series.
Park shared that she initially felt lonely in the Philippines since she was not fluent in Filipino. Her pronunciation of the speech was also weak.
However, she did not give up and worked hard on her language in hopes of becoming a celebrity one day. It had been her dream since she heard about the K-pop boy band Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992.
Besides her native Korean, Sandara is now fluent in Tagalog, English, and Chinese.
The talented actress-singer is unmarried as of December 2023. Sandara was rumored to have dated Philippine artist Joseph Bitangcol, co-actor Kim Soo-hyun, and rapper G-Dragon.
