I was suprised when a korean girl joined Star Circle Quest, a talent search here in Philippines. Her name is Sandara Park. She looks like BoA and Yoo-Jin of Loving You. She is an early favorite because of her charisma and talent.

dang!! she is soooo cute!!! she looks so adorable!!

Korean Cutie




EDIT: Had to downgrade from Hottay to Cutie. Hottay is too grand of a word.

Is she half Filipino? Hope so bcoz she's cute! I'm not sure if she's going to last though! Let just say she had alot of bad moves!

She's 100% Korean, I think she will have more chance in Korea, she's pretty and talented but she is having a hard time pronouncing Filipino words. Her english is not bad. I think her disability to fluently speak Filipino will be her problem.

Wow.. definitely a cutie.

why in the hell would she running for a star, if she can't even talk in fluently?

well she was ask that before by the judges, she said that she wants to be famous and to have fans. She promised the judges that she will improved her Filipino speaking skills.

She's so cute!!

i'm curious to hear her speak tagalog. does anyone have a clip of one of her performance?

heheheh... her name sound almost like mine. she's a cutie

damn she is cute

She's cute. Hope she makes the finals. Hope her inability to speak Filipino won't count against her.. besides a lot of Fil-Am actors also can't speak Filipino.

I know.

By the way, I'm pretty impressed by her determination.

darn cute. I'll hit!

Damn i going to said she look better then boa.

she cute fosure.

GOD I REALLY LOVE HER..... What ever her citizenship.. filipino or korean.. i still love her... she was so beautiful.. go sandara

Any updates, Morena?

They're similar. Boa's said to have gained a little weight, though. Sandara's cute, all right. She just has to perform well. Mej sumasablay na siya nitong mga nakaraang araw. I totally feel bad about this...

what was that at the end?

Were you referring to my quote at the bottom? Don't mind that. It's just one of the quotes I based on "The Passion of the Christ." Sorry about that.

no I'm talkin about the "Mej sumasablay na siya nitong mga nakaraang araw" part

wow she has strong determination...u dont see a lot of that in many ppl. i hope sandara makes it~!

me too

Good news, she's part of the top 10 finalist.

cuz i voted for her

funny! voting will only start tomorrow. How did you vote?

"Sumasablay" --> I watched her last week. Her performance was kinda on rocky ground, especially during the Tuesday episode. I got pretty "scared." But to think of her determination, "wow, like, that is SO COOL." I believe she can do it naman, e. She's good. I just don't like the injustice some critics put on her, just because she barely spoke in either of our lingual dichotomies. I mean, she's not the only one who's foreign there, right? Basta, I believe she has a big chance in making it to the Top 5.

Waittaminute, ain't the voting supposed to be NEXT WEEK? ?_?

.....She look alrite!

I have magic powers

I will vote for her...what ever is she running for.

I don't find her that attractive or cute, maybe because she looks too much like my friend.

ur friend must be bomb

I grew up with a friend who looks like her, too, but that doesn't mean she never was THAT cute. I guess you kinda grew out of that look. ^_^

Most of us in this board have "The Determination" to get her into the top spots and claim the crown, right? I mean, honestly, even if Sandy has talent and consistency, the mere fact she barely spoke English or Filipino, she has this thick, possible chance of getting eliminated. Damn. I wish there's something we can do... I mean, sayang... Oh, well, she can always go to Korea and try again? ^^; Sounds like a bad idea, don't you think?

Do you mean that she looks like a normal and typical korean girl?

i appreciated her more now that i've seen how her life is. she said in her interview a while ago that she didn't have any friends at school because she never talks. she's a loner, she says.

btw, she really, really looks like my classmate in college

yeah i like san dara park! hope that she wins! one reason is that ....she is very honest ... and cute

more:







thanks paulsky of pinoyexchange

she also said that they were rich in korea but her dad's business went bankrupt so he had to leave his family in korea to have business in the philippines. when business started doing well he sent for his family to live in the philippines.

they migrated here...

i like san dara for her efforts.
she tries very hard to speak tagalog right? BTW, is she studying in a chinese school...just wondering i saw that episode about her ...her uniform was a bit familiar

she's studying in a chinese school------>chung hua academy

Is that a traditional Korean outfit?

If so, what is it called?

Hanbok

cute pix! I never have the chance to watch her life story (kainis !) buti ka pa.
I think she has a big chance to be in top 5 since a lot of the viewers like her. She has a good singing voice too.

just as i thought her uniform was a little familiar

i know that school, too. i used to see it on my way home when i used to attend my old school. yeah, it's a Chinese School, but not much Chinese enroll there these days. but still, it IS a Chinese School. difficult in and out, really, especially if you're not Chinese. i get her point.

i must admit, i can really relate to Sandy-san. you know, being the wallflower and oppressed. i was, like, "OK, so she was no different than i was." i didn't see that one coming. it didn't seem like her at all. i only wished i had taped that ep for my website. too bad.
