Sandara Park’s Journey: What is 2NE1’s Star Up To After 15 Years Since Debut?

Recently, the highly anticipated concert ‘Welcome Back’ featuring 2NE1 was held in Seoul, South Korea. This performance was significant as it marked the group’s first collaborative show since their appearance at Coachella 2022, symbolizing their official reunion after many years apart. Fans, along with a widespread audience of K-pop enthusiasts, were particularly excited about this event.

At the concert, one of the most notable figures was Sandara Park. Having spent 15 years in the entertainment industry and reaching the age of 40, she still exudes remarkable beauty and an admirable physique. Known as one of the top idols for effectively managing her public image, Dara continued to cultivate her reputation during the years when 2NE1 was inactive, actively engaging in various personal projects.

Throughout the years, Dara has consistently received encouragement from her fans and the broader public. She is widely admired by Korean netizens for her dedication to maintaining her appearance.

Moreover, Dara made headlines on social media with her glamorous outfit at Waterbomb Singapore 2024. The K-pop star confidently displayed her trim silhouette and a hint of cleavage through a sleek black leather crop top.

Dara, who owns a plethora of designer pieces, has an impressive ability to identify counterfeit items. On MBC’s “Video Star” , when influencer Song Ji A showcased her luxurious wardrobe, Dara remained mostly unfazed while the other hosts reacted with surprise. Later, as Song Ji A faced backlash for allegedly wearing fakes, netizens speculated whether Dara had been aware of this all along.

Despite being in the spotlight for over a decade, Dara has never been publicly linked to a romantic partner. Dating rumors with G-Dragon from her 2NE1 days continue to circulate, generating ongoing interest among fans who hope for a potential relationship.

Dara and G-Dragon have shared many memorable moments together. In 2019, she proudly displayed three distinct versions of Nike Paranoise sneakers on her personal Instagram, which were part of the collection that G-Dragon collaborated on with Nike.

In recent years, Dara has shifted her focus more towards hosting TV shows and participating in variety programs rather than pursuing a singing career. In mid-2021, she officially parted ways with YG Entertainment, leaving fans with mixed emotions about her career move.
