Pambansang Krung Krung: How Sandara Park Brightened Our Days

  

Ah, the comedic charm of Sandara Park! Ever since her Star Circle Quest days, even until she reached KPop stardom, she has been ever-entertaining with her witty remarks and her endearing love for the Philippines. After all, she’s Pambansang Krung Krung for a reason.

 

Let’s see some of our favorite Sandara moments showcasing her lighter side below:

When she said “Automatic” in Pinoy accent

 

Sandara shocked Korean hosts in a variety show when she said “Automatic” using her thick Filipino accent. Everyone got amused because of the sudden language switch but she’s a real Pinoy at heart.

 

When she said “Punta na tayo sa fiesta!”

In her 2NE1 track, Let’s Go Party, she seamlessly sneaked in a Filipino phrase in the lyrics, saying “Punta

na tayo sa fiesta!” exciting Pinoy fans upon hearing it!

 

When she told Luis Manzano, “Sintunado ka, ‘di ba?”

When she appeared as a guest in Luis Manzano’s vlog, Luis Listens, Sandara shared that she was in the

country to appear in Kpop Idol BamBam’s concert. Luis wondered why none of his friends ever invited

him as a concert guest, and Sandara playfully answered, “Sintunado ka, ‘di ba?”, a savage comeback not even Luis expected!

When she showed off her ‘Bayongciaga’

With all those endorsements and projects, fans would think that Sandara would love showing off her

wardrobe full of designer clothes and bags. But in one of her tweets, she proudly posed with her

palengke bag she described as her “Bayongciaga from Divisoria”, a post that garnered lots of laughs

from netizens.

When she ordered food in Dubai… in Filipino!

Once while vacationing in Dubai, Sandara got comfortable because of the number of Pinoys in the country… that she unknowingly ordered her food in fluent Filipino. Cutie!

The much-awaited annual Acer Day celebration has returned with a superior, more exciting lineup of activities. Alongside bigger promotions on Acer products, the brand has set bolder goals to provide innovative products that enhance productivity and elevate the digital experience. This year's theme, #AceYourWorld, is about empowering and motivating individuals to achieve their goals and reach their full potential. 

Acer Philippines is also organizing an Acer Day concert on August 6, 2023, at the SM MOA Arena headlined by Asia’s Popstar Royalty, Sarah Geronimo and DonBelle, who are undoubtedly two of today’s hottest young multi-hyphenates.

True to its theme of #AceYourWorld, Acer Philippines announces that Sandara Park, also known by her stage name Dara, is joining the Acer Day concert as one of its ambassadors.

“Dara truly fits the theme of this year’s celebration because she is an ace who has conquered stages worldwide with her talent and charm. The youth look up to her because she has achieved her dreams despite whatever challenges came her way,” said Sue Ong-Lim, General Manager at Acer Philippines.

Dara studied in the Philippines and rose to fame here via a reality show search. She moved to her homeland Korea and joined the group 2NE1, one of the bestselling groups of its time until its disbandment in 2016.

Dara continued to be active as a performer and variety show host. She is revered and admired as Korea’s favorite noona because of her beauty and amiable personality. Despite her fame, Dara has never forgotten the Philippines. She continues to visit the country and maintains her friendship with people who were part of her life here. Dara is affectionately referred to as the “Pambansang Krungkrung ng Pilipinas.”

Dara’s solo mini album “Sandara Park” was released on July 12. The album has five songs, including the title track, “Festival.” This is Dara’s first album under Abyss Company.
