Sandara Park apologizes to ex-boyfriends, shares how 2NE1's five-year dating ban affected her past relationships

Sandara Park opened up about how 2NE1's five-year dating ban has affected her past relationships.

According to a Soompi report, Sandara appeared in KBS JOY's "Love Intervention" show on October 6, where she candidly talked about her previous relationships.

“I’ve been in ‘untact’ (non face-to-face contact) relationships even before COVID-19," she said during the show.

Sandara said when she was still a trainee, "I was scolded for being in a relationship, and my manager took away my cellphone. Then after I debuted, there was a five-year dating ban.”

The Korean star followed the rule. “I really didn’t date because they told me not to,” she said.

Sandara said it was only recently that she made up her mind to date actively.

"All I needed was a will to be more assertive. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my ex-boyfriends," she said, making everyone laugh during the show.

Sandara was born in South Korea but her family moved to the Philippines when she was young. She spent her teen years in the Philippines and rose to fame after winning runner-up in a talent search show in 2004.

She returned to South Korea in 2007 and in 2009, Sandara debuted as a member of the K-pop group 2NE1.

Despite returning to Korea, Sandara did not forget about her fans and life in the Philippines, and neither did we.

Last July, Sandara went viral on social media after she suddenly spoke Tagalog in a Korean show.

Just a week ago, Sandara posted a vlog where she went to Philippine market in Korea. She showed her experience eating a Filipino meal karinderya-style and purchasing Pinoy grocery goodies. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
