MANILA, Philippines — For former ABS-CBN actress Sandara Park, now known as Dara of the popular Korean girl group 2NE1, it is more fun in the Philippines.
Dara, along with group-mates – CL, Bom and Minzy – arrived in the country Feb. 1 for a brief vacation, Push.com.ph. reported.
Through the online picture journal me2day, the singer posted on her page, Feb. 1, a photo of herself riding a motorcycle (a red bike like that of an arcade game) and calls herself “Rider Dara.”
“Hey! Get on! Rider Dara, enjoying a good time in Manila with the members! Getting to Manila from Seoul takes about 3 hours; although it isn’t too far, it’s a place I miss and the distance is too far to come visit often. The girls are taking lots of pictures for me… I may reveal them soon,” Dara wrote.
2NE1 performed before Filipino fans a year ago. Although pure Korean, the former “Star Circle Quest” finalist and “Pambansang Krung-Krung” considers the Philippines her second home.
Posts from Twitter revealed that the Korean girls, known for their hits “Fire,” “Lollipop,” “I Don’t Care” among others, are in Legaspi, Albay.
After their vacation in the Philippines, Dara and the gang head for Japan for promotional activities, added the same Push.com.ph report.
