With a dongsaeng who is walking down the same path as her, and dreaming the same dream as her, she is not alone in her celebrity life.

Sandara Park’s youngest brother is Cheondoong of MBLAQ. Although he overflows with charisma on stage, to Sandara Park, he’ll always be like a little kid.

“Cheondoong and I are six years apart. Starting from when he was young I’d carry him on my back and stuff and I always worried about him. Even still, when I see him perform on stage, it’s admirable. Isn’t he cute when he shows off his personal talents on variety shows?”

Cheondoong was added late into the group that Bi produced, MBLAQ. Because of this, he had to work twice as hard.

“Starting from when Cheondoong was young, he wanted to become a singer. He worked even harder than me at learning dance. I think he’s much better than me in terms of musical talent. (Laughs)”

While talking about Cheondoong, Sandara Park’s eyes were filled with love. 2NE1 members even said “Sandara Park is like Cheondoong’s stalker.”

“Cheondoong’s apartment is pretty far from ours so I can’t see him often. It seems like my brother’s busier than me. So we chat online and cam together online everyday. If I look at what Cheondoong is doing through webcam, the other members keep saying ‘She’s like one of his crazy fangirls.'”

Sandara Park’s Description – In 1993 when I was in Grade 3, piggybacking my baby brother Cheondoong behind the Daegoo zoo.

Sandara Park is sad that she can’t see Cheondoong often. Their activities are at different times so they can’t even meet at broadcasting stations.

“In television shows, Cheondoong says “Noona, buy me food”. When I see the show and tell him I’ll buy him food, he tells me ‘We’re working on a new album so I don’t have time’. I finally saw him during the time of last year’s ending award shows. I took the snacks from our waiting room and brought them to MBLAQ. Cheondoong needs to eat a lot. (Haha)”

Rather than opposing how out of their three children, the oldest daughter and the magnae are doing celebrity activities, their parents support them. Because of their parents’ support, they were able to be acknowledged as celebrities and receive love from the public.

“While I lived in the Philippines, my mother was my manager. So she was always by my side. These days, she monitors me from the house. I’m most scared for when my mom ‘points out things’.

Sandara Park and Cheondoong are dreaming the same dream. Both want to make ‘Our Studio’.

“I always talk with my brother. How in the future, we’re going to build our own house. The first floor will be where we live with our parents, the second floor will be our studio. Truthfully, even though sometimes I want to stand on stage with my brother, we each have our own places to be.”

    ‘the other members’–she is referring to her 2ne1 members, right?

  6. smartee's avatar

    probably the reason why some mblaq boys “admire” dara, they’re witness to her sweetness to thunder..

    that made me teared up a bit, seeing that pic when they were still kids, and esp what dara said bout giving thunder snacks from her waiting room just to ensure he gets to eat..most of us have elder sisters, but not all sisters are as sweet and gentle as dara..she’s so genuinely nice..that’s why she’s also caring to her fans, that’s just how she treats people..that’s a good upbringing up there, her parents should be proud of her.

    This chapter is sweet, it brought me tears again. I love their love and care for each other, so admirable. I really hope both will continue to be successful and that their dreams to build a house for the family would come true.

    Oh and yeah, loving the fact that Dara is quite at ease with the guys of MBLAQ. LOLed at the quote “Dara is like a fangirl stalker”!

    This is sweet. I love their caring and love for each other, so admirable. I hope both dreams would come true to build their own house and live together w/ Mom and Durami.

    Oh yeah, loving the fact that i think he is quite at ease with other members of MBLAQ and LOL at the quote “Dara is like a crazy fangirl? haha!
