In the dazzling world of K-pop, Sandara Park opens up about a chapter of her life filled with surprising regrets, and her enduring dreams that bridge the gap between the Philippines and South Korea.

The 38-year-old star, a former member of the iconic girl group 2NE1, recently shared her candid emotions in a tell-all interview with Filipino TV host Luis Manzano. Although Sandara said she initially didn’t feel guilty about leaving the Philippine entertainment scene to pursue her ambition of becoming a K-pop star, her viewpoint has changed with time.

“I didn’t regret it at the time since I was a young girl with aspirations of becoming a Korean celebrity. But now I kind of regret leaving,” she admitted, expressing a distinct mix of desire and nostalgia.

Her confession took an intriguing turn when she said, “I feel like you guys are richer, to be honest.” But she hastened to explain, “In Korea, in a group, we split the payment with the company and among the members,” shedding light on the complexities of the industry she cherishes.
