Sandara Park (2NE1): Hard childhood, father in prison, used to take "adult" photos to make m.oney, changed life thanks to YG

Dara ( Sandara Park) has been one of Korea's top stars throughout the past decade. As a former member of 2NE1, Dara still possesses a youthful appearance and receives love from a large audience.

Sandara Park was born on November 12, 1984, in Busan, South Korea. She was born in a not very well-off family, so from childhood she had to move to many places. Most fans would not have expected that before having the success she has today, Dara had to go through an extremely difficult time when her father unfortunately went bankrupt when she was only 8 years old. Since then, her whole family has lost a huge amount of m.oney. Dara once mentioned that her family didn't even have m.oney to ride the bus, had no choice but to walk to her house.

Dara also had an unhappy childhood as she had to stay at home all day to take care of her younger brother. As the eldest c.hild in the family, Dara has been aware of her own responsibilities since she was a c.hild.

When Dara was 10 years old, her family immigrated to the Philippines for her father to rebuild his career. Unfortunately, Dara cannot speak Filipino. When she tried to communicate with her classmates on the first day of school, they laughed at her pronunciation. Therefore, during her first 1 year in the Philippines, Dara became a person who kept quiet and did not make friends with anyone. Having to be so lonely for a long time, the artist has extremely difficult to integrate with people and the environment here.

It is known that during his time at school, Dara was often bullied. Dara was once criticized by a group of female students for her shameful waving habits. At that time, the l.ittle g.irl burst into tears because she was so sorry.

However, nothing can stop Dara's dream of stardom. Her inspiration is none other than Seo Taiji & Boys, a group featuring YG Entertainment's CEO Yang Hyuk Suk.

Dara participated in the talent contest "Star Circle Quest" and thanks to her popularity, she excelled in 2nd place overall. This made her a popular star in the Philippines and the focus of media attention at the age of 21. The debut album "Sandara" sold more than 100,000 copies and was followed by overwhelming success in television series and movies in the Philippines.

But sadly, instead of focusing on building a career, Dara's father became a g.ambling addict. Despite making a huge amount of m.oney, Dara is still managed by her biological father. Over the next few years, all the capital she had saved was taken away by her father. Eventually, Dara's father had an affair, leaving the family behind to follow another woman. That's why little Dara reluctantly became the breadwinner for the whole family. Despite her young age, Dara had to work to pay for her younger brother Thunder's tuition, making ends meet so that her family would not be underfed.

Difficulties kept coming for Dara throughout her time as an innocent young woman. In 2007, her fame was no longer the same, her career declined, and the sales of many films featuring Dara had poor performances. The biggest scandal Dara suffered at that time was from her gambling-addicted father.

At that time, her father was arrested for debt. Although Dara's father betrayed the family, she decided to bail him out. It was his biological father's scandal that hurt Dara's reputation in the Philippines. Increasingly, this beauty received fewer and fewer film offers and advertising contracts, making her family's economy even more difficult.

Around this troubled time, Dara was approached by an adult magazine with an invitation to take a photo. Although she felt uncomfortable doing the sensitive picture, Dara accepted the invitation to support her family. Unfortunately, it was this part-time job that led Dara's Philippine agency to refuse to renew her contract in 2007.

But the miracle happened, Dara's life took a new page when YG Entertainment reached out to her. YG invited Dara to be the company's trainee in Korea even though she was almost 23 years old that year. Dara accepted the offer and took the family back to Korea.

Dara has practiced extremely hard at YG Entertainment. Two years later, she debuted as a member of 2NE1 – a group that achieved countless great achievements, put her name on the list of legendary groups of Kpop, contributing to the Korean music scene becoming strong for many years.

As the first group in Korea to pursue a crazy style, 2NE1 quickly made a new wave for K-pop. If the b.oy group has B.ig Bang, the g.irl group has 2NE1. 2NE1's songs stormed the domestic and Southeast Asian markets.

The singles of the songs "Fire and I Don't Care" have huge purchases all over the country and the world. The song I Don't Care also won the group the Song of the Year award at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards. 2NE1 became the first group to win Daesang when they debuted. The b.ig step reached the top of glory.

Since 2NE1 disbanded in 2016, Dara has started focusing on showbiz activities as an actor and TV star. By 2021, the star born in 1984 joined the new management company Abyss Company. She has also repeatedly opened up about her ambition to return to the music scene, making her fans extremely excited.

During a promotion for her comeback as a solo artist, Sandara Park recalled her time when she was a member of the hit KPop group 2NE1. In it, the idol admitted to having a l.ot of mental breakdown when the group suddenly disbanded.

"I cried a l.ot. I was quiet and shy but I wasn't depressed after we broke up," Sandara said of her mood when she received the bad news, "I tried to enjoy life but then I developed insomnia and social phobia."

Despite her successful career and admirable fashion sense, Dara has a rocky love line. Over the years, rumors of an affair between her and G-Dragon have always surfaced. Even a section of netizens said that the female idol deliberately created a hint to date the leader of BIGBANG.

In 2022, Dara had the opportunity to meet with 2NE1 members Park Bom, CL and Minzy at the Coachella music festival - USA. After 6 years of disbandment, now all 4 members have been able to stand together on the same stage and perform the explosive song "I'm the best".

Not only causing a stir with vibrant music, Dara also surprised the audience with her t.error hair. In addition, Dara's toned body and ageless beautiful face also make people lose their hearts. She was so playful that she jumped off her shoes on stage. The full appearance of all 4 members has made millions of fans around the world excited and touched. K-pop sisters are still as strong and attractive as ever.
