2. Her brother is also an idol

It seems that Sandara park comes from a family of stars in that her brother is Park Sang Hyun who is known as Thunder. Her brother is a member of a Korean music group known as  MBLAQ. He was born in South Korea but grew up in the Philippines just like his sister Sandara.

Park Sang Hyun first appeared on national television when he attended the finale of Star Circle Quest where his sister was the runner-up in the first season of the show. He then appeared in a documentary by her sister which showed his daily life. Therefore, that marked his first appearance on Korean television.

3. She is multilingual

Sandara Park can speak many languages which is fascinating. Learning a language when one is grown is very hard as each language has sounds and syllables that are not in the other language and thus make it hard to grasp it.

Therefore, Sandara knowing how to speak English, Korean, Tagalog, Chinese and conversational Japanese is a huge feat as some of the languages that she has mastered are among the hardest languages to learn.

4. She was scouted by YG Entertainment

After appearing in a KBS documentary known as My Name is Sandara Park, she was noticed by YG Entertainment and they then scouted her as they hoped to sign her to their record label.

5. She was the vocalist of 2NE1

After relocating to South Korea and commencing her musical career, Sandara Park served as the sub rapper, vocalist and visual of 2NE1. 2NE1 was one of the bestselling girl groups of all time as it was liked by the public. Thus was from 2009 until 2016 when it was disbanded.

Nevertheless, the group did a final song together in which Sandara took part known as Goodbye. The song was released in early 2017 and their fans were heartbroken that they would not be getting more songs from the girl group.

6. She prefers texts to calls

The singer admits that she prefers communicating with people via texts instead of calls. She further goes on and says that she thinks that calling over the phone is awkward.  Therefore if one wants to communicate with Sandara Parks, then I would suggest that they text her so that they do not make her feel awkward.

This fact is fascinating in that the reader gets to know a random thing that the singer prefers that is not well known as it seems like a minor thing. Knowing these trivial preferences helps a fan feel closer to the singer and thus get a deeper insight into her life.

7. She is afraid of dogs

While many people love dogs and have them as pets, the singer is afraid of dogs and big animals. She is even frightened of G-Dragon’s dog known as Gaho.

However, that is not the case for Sandara Park as she is still frightened of dogs and any big animal for that matter.

Coupled with the fact that the singer prefers texts over calls, it makes it even more hectic in that if one does not reply fast and that is the only way that she prefers being communicated with, then the person will not be on her good side.
