Sandara Park was once a well-known TV personality in the Philippines, and though I may not be one of her legions of fans, I was sad to see her go. The whole showbiz related newscast were agog with questions why she suddenly left. Many pondered upon the reasons. But everyone wished her well.
The reasons stated in her Wikipedia page was that they left to start a new life back in Korea. Given the span of her showbiz career here, a mere four years, it left many to wonder why when she looked like she still had something to offer. She was doing well in terms of a career jumpstart. But she still chose to go back to her home country.
By doing so, she inevitably became a bigger star than she was back here, with projects that would surely garner one many a Filipino audience but not much else. Now, as part of the group 2NE1, she would be known far and wide as "Dara". Her group has that much attention that even celebrity blogger Perez Hilton loved their videos. She, on her own, was doing great as well, getting the female part for Gummy's video "I'm Sorry" which features T.O.P. of Big Bang.
The people who let her go (in many ways) must now be scratching their heads...
