BIOGRAPHYSandara Park (born November 12, 1984 in Busan, South Korea) is a Korean actress who stars in movies and television shows in the Philippines. Her unusual three-syllable Korean name, as she has said numerous times in interviews, came from a Korean general whose nickname is Sandara.Early lifeSandara was born to affluent Korean parents. However, by the time Sandara was 8-years-old, her father's relatives placed him in a financially tight spot which then crippled his business. In hopes of recovering from this business strain, Sandara's father tried his luck in the Philippines, settling in a small apartment in Pasay City and started a business. Sandara and her family remained in her grandmother's house in South Korea for some time until her father finally had enough money to relocate his family to the Philippines.Initially, no one in their family were fluent in English or Tagalog. Sandara eventually enrolled in voice lessons at the Center for Pop Music in the early 2000s.The catapult to Philippine showbizDuring one of her school functions, Sandara met Pauleen Luna who was then a talent of ABS-CBN Channel 2. Luna encouraged the shy Sandara to audition for Star Circle Quest, a then-upcoming talent search for ABS-CBN. Park tried her luck and was in the same batch with fellow questors, Hero Angeles and Joseph Bitangcol.
