On January 7, a video titled “2NE1’s Sandara Park Why Did She End Up on the Kim Sook Line?” was released on the YouTube channel Vivo TV. During the episode, Sandara responded candidly to questions from viewers about her past relationships.
One netizen asked how Sandara managed to date only celebrities without ever being caught in a single dating rumor. In response, Sandara delivered an honest and humorous answer.
“There’s a secret,” she said. “The way to not get caught is to not meet up.” Sandara admitted that this approach made it difficult for her relationships to develop properly. “From the other person’s perspective, it must have felt ridiculous,” she added. “I used to think that if I stepped outside, photos would be taken.”
Sandara explained that even when her partners came to her dorm or waited outside her home, she refused to go out. “I didn’t even go out to eat once,” she said, drawing laughter from the studio.
Comedian Kim Sook reacted by pointing out that reporters used to stay stationed outside idol dorms at the time, making it nearly impossible to avoid attention. Sandara jokingly described herself as a “cyber lover,” prompting Kim Sook to tease that it sounded like she had fallen victim to a romance scam.
When asked whether she would handle dating differently now, Sandara revealed a noticeable shift in perspective. “I would go out,” she said confidently. “If I’m going to be photographed anyway, I might as well look pretty while doing it. At this point in my career and at my age, I feel more comfortable.”
Sandara Park’s candid remarks offered fans a rare glimpse into the pressures of idol life during the height of second-generation K-pop, highlighting how fear of exposure often came at the cost of personal relationships.
