Video/Interview: 2NE1 Sandara Park’s Feature/Interview on Philippine Show “Matanglawin”

Dara speaking in Tagalog! It’s been said that she requested that the interview be done in Tagalog. Again, I think it’s endearing that Dara never forgot the Philippines’ mother tongue. She said she misses her friends in the Philippines and that it’s a hard process to becoming a KPop star. ^^

2NE1 Sandara Park’s Feature/Interview on Philippine Show “Matanglawin”

MANILA — Korean pop star Sandara Park of the girl group 2NE1 admitted that she has a crush on actor John Lloyd Cruz.

On Sunday’s episode of “Matanglawin“, “Maria Mercedes” Jessy Mendiola talked to Park about her experiences as a K-Pop star, her activities and what she misses most about the Philippines.

When asked who her Filipino crush is, Park hesitated before admitting that she likes Cruz.

Mendiola and Park also performed each other’s signature dance moves.
