That’s right Dara lovers! ^_^ Our very own Goddess is the 14th Top Idol Star with the Highest Income. It doesn’t surprise me though with all the endorsements that she has.Β 

And yet, despite all that she has achieved (and earned), she is still the same sincere, humble, grounded, unpretentious, funny, simple, generous to a fault Dara we all know. We are very proud of and happy for you Goddess D! You deserve all of what you are receiving. Fighting!

    She’s a well known actress in phillipines why not korea…i hope she acts in some korean drama it will totally boost her image and popularity

    was this based on their 2010 income? 2ne1’s albums did well last year and they were in the top 5 for highest paid endorsers. but now she’s gone solo for etude (she might have a contract for their autumn and winter campaigns), and there’s nikon where she could’ve earned more than the other girls for her solo cf endorsing the sandara cam. and as 2ne1’s prd, yg could be paying her too coz all those me2day and solo promo activities surely contributed to the popularity of the 2 songs. i think yonsei should be paying her too lol coz the mere news that she’s been frequenting the school might up their student population (nah, it’s one of korea’s top universities; i think i can guess where she’ll be enrolling once she had the time to go to college). anyway, she could still rise in the ranks next year.

    to all the haters!!! hahahah…. im pretty sure you dont have any of those that se has!!

    Way to go Dara!!
    Considering she only got two Major Solo endorsement under her belt, she still made it to the top 20, as to others who have a lot and are active in a lot of variety shows and dramas, that says a lot..
    They pay big money for Sandara Park alone.. πŸ˜›
    Booyaahh!! πŸ˜›
    I hope she gets more projects in the future, a drama or a movie perhaps? πŸ™‚
    i’m just really happy for Goddess D!
    <333!!!

    @kim…i guess Yonghwa is high up there because his a composer and songwriter which made him among the artists owning copyright..likewise with GD, i think GD is the top artist in the copyright…

    I wonder how much Etude paid Dara for their latest campaign? Coz if it’s only the income she gets with 2NE1 activities it won’t be much difference and the other girls would be on the list too. They don’t do varieties, MCing and dramas. The only source of their income is their album sales, the group cf and university events. Etude might paid Dara really big. Or she also get paid as PR director? kekeke

    I wonder where are those idols who work there ass off in variety shows to the extent of being hospitalized.

  8. angellimae's avatar

    i believe this is based on solo projects only, am i right? or am i wrong? hehe. if it’s on solo projects, i wonder what ranking would dara and the other yg artists would get. eep! πŸ™‚ dara only has etude as her solo project with other company, right?

  9. kim's avatar

    im surprised Yonghwa is so high up there, more so than TOP. I love him and everything but just a bit surprised you know. I never knew he was that high in demand =D

    im also surprised yoona isnt too high up on the list… and beaten by UEE too 😦

      sandaraparkfashion.wordpress.com said:

      That’s because Yonghwa do dramas. Same with UEE.

  10. Jive's avatar

    I like this vid for several reason:

    1. It shows that Dara has gotten off the crunch

    2. The sexy pictorial they shown is significant since it was the time when she’s broke, i believe. Now she buried it all deep under.

    3. Most selected shots, looks and scenes of Dara here has been my faves

    4. The scene where dara’s face rose like the sun and brightens up everyone is funny and most appropriate cuz her skin itself shines as much as the sun ^^

    5. How those sexy pic of Dara stirs up the 2 host. Something to be proud about. Think she’s all cute and bubbly eh??? Well surprise!!!’ Lol

  11. erk's avatar

    wow….she only debut for a few years now she’s high up on the list….even higher than the one in t-ara…she just had dream high, now wgm, and many more gigs…but goddess D earns more! wow!!

    Haha. Dara is the rookiest among the list! ;D So proud of her and still very humble! ;D

  13. kim's avatar

    She beat Khun and hara and those others even though she doesn’t even come out of varieties or dramas or anything! that’s effin awesome!

  14. Haruhi's avatar

    Wow in a span of 2 years as a 2NE1 member Dara’s income really soar high. How come I’m not surprised?!? he-he…Well, she is famous among the 4, the one with tons of fanboys plus her natural beauty with a baby face and a flawless skin is a bonus to all the beauty products that she’s endorsing. Of course all the things that she endorsed since she’s also good in marketing strategy (She wouldn’t be a me2day Queen + PR Director for nothing, now she’s also becoming a CF Queen) would become a hit, that’s the power of Sandara Park. ^_^

    • Haruhi's avatar

      Looking at it now, if YG will give Dara the opportunity to do Korean drama series and more guesting in variety shows or reality show i.e. WGM and pair her with one of the hottest K-Pop idol. I wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later she will become one of S. Korea’s most high paid celebrity. Goddess Dara fighting!!! ^_^

  23. sandaraparkfashion's avatar

    It’s actually a huge feat considering that she has one solo endorsement for this year. Others have 2 or more solo endorsements. Thus, I conclude that it was her one solo endorsement that includes her in this list. How bout more if Papa YG allows her to do multiple solo gigs?

    Sandara Park, next year aim for number one okay. kekeke
