'''Sandara Park''' ({{lang-ko|박산다라}}; born November 12, 1984<ref name="Russell2014">{{cite book|author=Mark Russell|title=K-Pop Now!: The Korean Music Revolution|page=77|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=etDZAwAAQBAJ|date=29 April 2014|publisher=Tuttle Publishing|isbn=978-1-4629-1411-1}}</ref>), also known by her stage name '''Dara''' ({{lang-ko|다라}}), is a [[South Korean idol|South Korean]] [[singer]], [[dancer]], [[actress]], television personality, [[promotional model|model]], and [[presenter|host]]. Seen as the most influential Korean star in the Philippines due to the success of her multifaceted career, she was given the honorific national title "Pambansang krungkrung ng Pilipinas", and was nicknamed the "[[BoA]] of the Philippines" by Korean fans. She is recognized as a fashion and beauty icon because of her eccentric and distinct fashion style. Park is also acknowledged for acting as a bridge between [[Culture of the Philippines|Filipino]] and [[Culture of South Korea|South Korean]] culture, and was given a plaque of appreciation by the [[Korea Tourism Organization]] for her contributions. Aspects of Park's personal life, including her relationships, family issues, and the fallout with Hero Angeles while still in the Philippines, attracted national attention as well.

Rising to fame in the early-2000's, Park became an overnight superstar while participating as a contestant during the [[Star Circle Quest (season 1)|first season]] of ''[[Star Circle Quest]]'' in 2004, in which she finished as the runner-up. She signed with [[Star Magic]] after the completion of the competition and officially began her music career with the self-titled [[Extended play|extended play]], ''Sandara'', which debuted atop the Philippine charts and has sold over 100,000 physical copies. It remains the only album by a Korean born act to be certified platinum by the [[Philippine Association of the Record Industry]]. The carrier single, "In Or Out", was a major dance anthem and became a nationwide hit, cementing her status as an 'imported' household name in the region. The album's later repackaging featured a new single, ''Walang Sabit'', which became very popular as well. 2004 also saw her first lead acting role in the movie ''[[Bcuz of U]]'', which won her the Best New Actress award at the PMPC Star Awards for Movies. Park continued to dominate the Philippines market through 2005 with the major success of her comedy film ''[[Can This Be Love]]'', and the single  ''Ang Ganda Ko''.

After suffering a stall in her career, Park returned to South Korea quietly in 2007 and signed with entertainment company, [[YG Entertainment]]. In 2009, she debuted as a member of [[2NE1]], the company's first [[girl group]]. The quartet is now one of the most successful girl groups in South Korea, and have enjoyed critical and commercial success in both music and image, the likes of which has led them to be globally acknowledged. Park's first single release in South Korea, "[[Kiss (Dara song)|Kiss]]" (2009), showcased a more mature sound that sharply deviated from her earlier music. 2NE1's hiatus in late 2014 allowed Park to refocus on her solo career and in 2015, subsequently headlined the web-dramas ''[[Dr. Ian]]'', [[We Broke Up]], and ''Missing Korea''. She won the "Best Actress" award at the K-web festival for her portrayal as Lee So Dam in ''Dr. Ian'', and ''We Broke Up'' became one of the highest viewed web-dramas of the year. Park was a fixed host on the highly-rated variety program [[Two Yoo Project - Sugar Man|Sugar Man]] (2015-2016), and now currently appears as a judge on [[Pinoy Boyband Superstar]] (2016).  

==Early life==
[[File:Statue of Kim Yushin.jpg|thumb|right|Kim Yusin is remembered by Koreans as one of the greatest generals in Korean history. ]] Sandara Park was born on November 12, 1984, in [[Busan, South Korea]]. Her unusual and rare three-syllable name stems from the childhood nickname of revolutionary war hero General [[Kim Yu-sin|Kim Yusin]]. He was a cousin to [[Queen Seondeok of Silla]] and is considered a national figurehead of Korean culture for having led the unification of the [[Korean peninsula]]. Her name means "Wise and Intelligent". She is the daughter of Ik-Su Park, a trading businessman, and Kyung Ran-Kim.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Bru |first=Bru |date=October 2004 |title=Young & Restless |url= |magazine=StarStudio Magazine |location=Philippines |publisher=ABS-CBN }}</ref> She has two siblings; a younger sister named Durami,<ref>{{cite web|title=Photos of Sandara Park's sister surface|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2009091114132505230|website=10Asia|accessdate=April 20, 2016}}</ref> and a brother named [[Thunder (singer)|Sang-hyun]] who later became a member of [[MBLAQ]] (2009-2014), and is currently active as an actor and model.<ref>{{in lang|en}} Kim, Jessica.

Retrieved April 24, 2010.</ref>

At an early age, Park became interested in singing. Her favorite toy as a baby was a cassette player with a microphone attached to it.. However, those aspirations were halted when her father, who had been running a very successful business in trading, suffered a strain incurred by relatives who got involved in bad deals. The business quickly went bankrupt and the family was sent into financial ruin. They then moved to [[Daegu]] to be closer to Park's grandmother and for the cheaper living spaces. Despite efforts to revitalize his business, Park's father was unable to make ends meet, and he was eventually forced to leave his family in 1992 for the Philippines in hopes of rebuilding his career. Without her father's added support, Park often had to walk 5 miles to her grandmother's house to beg for milk money. Their living situation deteriorated to the point in which they sometimes couldn't afford meager provisions such as bread and for months lived only on eggs and milk; things like Soda and ice cream were considered a "treat". Park took responsibility of her younger siblings in the place of her mother so she could work longer hours. Eventually, her father was able to stabilize his career, and in 1995, moved the family to [[Alabang, Muntinlupa|Alabang, Muntinlupa City]], [[Philippines]] to begin a new life.<ref>{{in lang|en}} {{cite web |url=http://www.celebrityring.info/Sandara_Park.html |title=Sandara Park – Biography |publisher=CelebrityRing}} Retrieved April 24, 2010.</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://2pm-timeless.livejournal.com/215883.html |title='Sandara on strong Heart, see around 4:25'}}</ref>

The transition was very difficult on Park due to language and cultural barriers, and at one point, ceased talking as she was unable to communicate properly, leading her classmates to believe that she was mute. Her unhappiness grew to the point where her parents promised that after graduating high school, she could return to South Korea to live with relatives.
Initially, no one in their family was fluent in . However, she learned English and studied Chinese when she began school in the Philippines, and later became quite fluent in Filipino.

In 2003, during one of her school activities, she met [[Pauleen Luna]], a former talent of [[ABS-CBN Corporation]] Channel 2's Talent Center who encouraged Park to take part in the November auditions for ''[[Star Circle Quest]]'', a reality-based talent search television program.<ref name="SCQ">[http://www.abs-cbn.com/Feature/Article/4562/Star-Circle-Quest-Season-One-holds-a-rare-reunion.aspx Star Circle Quest Season One holds a rare reunion] ''ABS-CBN News''.

Sandara Park is regarded as the most influential Korean artist in the Philippines, having been credited for breaking racial barriers in its entertainment industry and for helping to bring Korean culture to the [[island country]]. ''StarStudio'' magazine observed that she was largely responsible for the introduction of a Korean presence in the film, music, and TV industry. A song she sang during [[Star Circle Quest]], a famous Korean folk song called [[Arirang]], sparked a sudden awareness towards Korean culture. The song was widely popular amongst the public after she performed it wearing traditional Korean garb called a [[hanbok]], which furthered the Philippine interest regarding the foreign culture. Analyzing Park's extreme popularity, ???? noted that her "gentle, down-to-earth" and "child-like" character endeared her to fans who previously thought that Koreans were "haughty". Their acceptance of Park marked the breakdown of preconceived perceptions. 

It was when Park returned to South Korea for a short period of time did her native people become aware of her presence. ''[[JoongAng Ilbo|Korea JoongAng Daily]]'' stated that the documentary ''My Name Is Sandara Park'' made her a "star" in Korea.<ref>{{cite web|title=TV audiences tune in to ordinary people|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2920994|website=Korea Joongang Daily|publisher=Song Philho|accessdate=May 10, 2016}}</ref> Bolstered by the media attention gained from the documentary, fans described her as being the "[[BoA]] of the Philippines," due to the unheard of but similar success between the two, as BoA was the first Korean to break through the Japanese market.
Sandara Park is credited as one of the leading figures in the term 'Reverse-Hallyu' Wave due to the reach her popularity had in neighboring countries such as Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand.<ref>{{cite web|last1=(Korean) Lim|first1=Hye Seon|title=[스타일기]산다라박③ "필리핀서 쥐·도마뱀 요리도..([Star Diary] Sandara Park (3) "In the Philippines, mouse‧lizard dishes…)|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2010030807063891704|website=Asia Economy News|accessdate=January 4, 2016}}</ref> She holds the national title of 'Pambansang Krung Krung ng Pilipinas' (The Philippines' national weird or unique personality) given to her by her Filipino fans.<ref name=pam/>

As a result of her successful transition to movies and music, Park dominated nearly every field in the entertainment industry. Her presence was described as being "so incredible that it was said that one was not a citizen of the Philippines if they did not know Sandara Park". And  following so closely behind the [[Meteor Garden]] craze, the public "jumped at the chance to discover something new and embraced her". Sandara remains as the first and only female contestant of Star Circle Quest to garner so much support from the public, and the only Korean to break through the Philippine market with such groundbreaking success.

Park's return to prominence in 2009 made her one of the few. Park remains as the only the Korean entertainer to have

===Makeup brand success, and ''Penshoppe''===


Park is also well known for endorsing makeup brands. Despite having already worked with [[Etude House]] in 2010 alongside her group, the makeup brand sought to continue with her for an additional two years with the belief that her image would be a "good influence" to potential buyers. Over the course of her endorsement with Etude, the brand was able to compete with popular local makeup companies and were launched to international success. An [[Umbrella|umbrella]] called ''Sweet Bunny'' was made available online and in stores to be given to buyers who paid for a certain amount of items.<ref name="bunny"/> The limited special not only increased Etude House's sales, but also attracted a foreign consumer base who, moments after Park was seen holding the item, visited the South Korean stores specifically to purchase the umbrella, where it was bought in every color.<ref name="bunny"/> In a week, Etude House sold over 40,000 of the umbrellas, ultimately selling out the product.<ref name="bunny">{{in lang|ko}} [http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=103&oid=015&aid=0002450311 ''2NE1’s Dara sells 40k pink umbrellas in a week for “Etude House”'']. ''Naver''. May 6, 2011. Retrieved February 20, 2016.</ref> A representative described the reactions of the public as "surprising". In late 2011, Park was joined by [[Shinee]] as endorsers for Etude House.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Yang|first1=Tatin|title=SHINee Young Things|url=http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/45343/shinee-young-things|website=Inquirer|accessdate=May 5, 2016}}</ref> Together they starred in commercial films styled in a web-drama format that appeared on [[Youtube]] and on television. The series was entitled ''Kiss Note'', a spoof off of the Japanese manga [[Death Note]] which shows her writing the names of the members (excluding [[Onew]] who was absent during filming due to injury) using Etude [[Lipstick|lipsticks]], spurring them to give her a kiss instead of causing death as in the original. At the time, the choice of format was an unusual one for a beauty industry to make, but due to the overwhelmingly positive appraisal of the series, Etude House successfully separated themselves from their competitors and gave themselves a foothold in the beauty market as a brand "unique and wholly original". The campaign went on to be a critical and commercial success, recording exponentially increased sales, and, bolstered by high global viewership, the ''Dear My Lips-Talk'' product (the lipsticks the kiss note series was for)became one of the years best-selling makeup products.
