2NE1′s Sandara Park Cast as Lead in ′Missing Korea′
Sandara Park has been cast to play Miss Korea′s North Korea representative in KBS′ Missing Korea.
Missing Korea, which is set to air on KBS in October, is a romantic comedy set in the fictional year 2020, in which the North and South are working towards unification through non-governmental exchanges and economic cooperation, leading to the first-ever ′North-South Joint Miss Korea Pageant.′ Hereafter, the drama will be broadcast as a web drama.
Sandara Park is currently practicing the North Korean dialect in order to faithfully act out the role as Miss Korea′s North Korean representative.
In the scenes capturing the contestants′ camp and final competition, the actual sponsored dresses, tiaras, costumes, hair and makeup team will be used in order to add authenticity.
Kim Jeong Hoon, who is gaining popularity in China through various broadcast activities, has been cast opposite Sandara Park to play the head of the pageant′s organizing committee.
The production team stated, “October, which is around the time when Missing Korea will be broadcast, is when inter-Korean reunions of separated North and South Korean families will be taking place at Mt. Kumgang. We hope this drama will send a meaningful message that will be a forum for diverse exchange of inter-Korean relations in the future.”
Meanwhile, Sandara Park′s successful transformation into an actress has been displayed through web dramas Doctor Ian and We Broke Up, and she is set to make her big screen debut through film Crank.

OMG! I also like that guy….Hmmmmm, I foresee a new ship coming…although I got sad with that 6episodes.. I do hope each ep would be longer than standard 10-15mins..
THAT Guy!!! He was my favorite in Princess Hours!!!
And excuse me…but he looks like D….ahuuummm…lol
Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really, This web drama will only be 6 episodes? Hoping too that per episode will run longer; one hour at least. If this will be the case the DARA can film the movie CRANK by the end of September. Her schedule will not have conflict.
even if it’s a webdrama, hope each episode will run for at least an hour. and that guy, i liked him in princess hours. and he’s actually OLDER than dara! finally! i’m pretty excited for this also bec. of its aim to contribute in bridging both nations. and she’s the (only?) north korean rep! i wonder what kind of person her character is gonna be. good luck, dara. hope your recent acting experience, and this show’s director and cast will help you grow much more as an actor and a more self-confident person.
I guess Dara will be doing this before ‘Crank’ starts filming. It won’t take that long to shoot 6 episodes, anyway.
@alohadara, thank you! I was so excited that I did not read well the article. Yes, how about the movie Crank? Well, if the movie will start filming as it was originally planned (by the end of September), I am sure Dara can do it. Acting is her passion and love by the way plus She is a superwoman!!!!
Anneli, in the last paragraph above it explains. Crank is the movie we thought she would be working on this month.But because of this new 3rd Web Drama, it seems the movie Crank has been pushed back. It doesnt say when.Dara has hardly any time to breathe. Back to back doing what she loves. And she is the lead in all the dramas! Keep on shining Dara. We love you and the K drama world is getting to know and love you too!
wow she acting with one of my favorite k actor kim jeong hoon,he is a good actor i hope their chemistry will be good.waiting to see this web drama.
I’M confused?? Is it a tv drama or a web drama to be aired in KBS? Anyway, I’m so happy and excited for DARA! So, I guess this was the one she was hinting few days ago…practicing for something secret… he..he. FIGHTING, DARA!
WebDrama Queen! Im soooo happy….
kyahhh!!! so excited for this!
