Park Sandara or Sandara Park (Korean: 박산다라, Hanja: 朴三陀羅), born November 12, 1984 in Busan, South Korea) also known as Dara in Korea, and Sandara/Sandy in the Philippines, is one of the vocal members of South Korean popular girl group 2NE1. She is a former Korean expatriate who once starred in movies and television shows in the Philippines. Her unusual three-syllable Korean name, which she has talked about numerous times during interviews, comes from that of a Korean general, Kim Yushin, whose childhood name was "Sandara (산다라)".
Park was born to affluent Korean parents. However, by the time she was eight years old, her father's relatives placed her in a financially tight spot which then crippled his business. In hope of recovering from this strain, Park's father tried his luck in the Philippines. He settled in a small apartment in Pasay City, and started a business. The rest of her family remained at her grandmother's house in South Korea for some time until her father finally had enough money to relocate them to the Philippines.
Initially, no one in their family was fluent in English or Filipino (also See Tagalog). However, she learned English and studied Chinese when she began school in the Philippines, and later became fluent in Filipino. Her interviews have also shown that she developed Englog and Taglish capabilities.
