Flory, a friend of mine and some of the still existing fans of Sandara Park is surely missing her a lot.

Sanda Park is one of the first batch of winners in the Star Circle Quest along with Roxanne Guinoo, Joross Gamboa, Melissa Ricks and the controversial Hero Angeles, they are the original stars who emerged from Reality Search TV programs searching for new stars, who have given new life to our local showbiz industry. What made her stand-out? Aside from a being a Half Korean, she is an extra-ordinary girl with an extra-ordinary humor and views in life that made her popular, even to be tagged as krung-krung ( a Filipino slang which means “a little bit crazy”). She just acts so weird and at the same time remains so sweet and candid and honest to what she believes.

What caused her downfall in the Philippine showbiz? I believe her decision to go back to Korea to study right after winning, did affected her career, although she was able to revive it by her team-up with Hero Angeles. But the controversies that shrouded Hero’s career, affected her the most … from them on her career went from serious and promising to nothing, she even ride the wagon of those teenagers shedding clothes for Men’s magazine, plus switching to the Kapuso station.

Where is Sandara Park now? An exclusive feature from abs-cbn reveals that:

After returning to Korea and signing up with YG Entertainment (one of the major talent management agencies in Seoul), Sandara Park has been busy doing workshops in dancing, singing, and acting to prepare her for the very competitive world of Korean showbiz. Now, she has finished her first major project: a part in the music video for “I’m Sorry” by veteran singer Gummy, which debuted on March 12. In this exclusive interview with ABS-CBN Interactive, Sandy recalls how she felt after finding out she got the much-coveted part, “Wow, go go go! Kasi almost one year din ako di nag-work. So I missed the camera so much! Na-miss ko sobra yung taping, shooting… At bored din ako. Kaya nung tumawag manager ko na shooting na agad bukas, tumalon ako sa tuwa!”

In Korea, it’s a common practice to get artists to star in another star’s music video. Sandy considers herself doubly lucky not just to get the lead role in the video, but also to be paired opposite Top, a member of the popular band Big Bang. She and Top also have a kissing scene in the music video. When news of the kiss spread online, it caused a major uproar among Top’s rabid fans who were curious to find out who she was, making “Sandara Park” the most-searched name in a Korean entertainment portal last week.

After promising to update us with more juicy details on her career, Sandy gives a message to her loyal fans in the country. “I’m so sorry na umalis na ako diyan pero lahat ito para sa mas magandang future and lagi ko kayo naaalala. Please don’t forget about me and wait for my comeback sa showbiz! Pang international krung-krung nako! Lahat ito para sa inyo. Thank you very much. I miss you so much. Mahal ko kayo!”

Personally, I’m glad that she is doing ok now. I wish her well and hope the best for her. GO Girl!
