Last April, Sandara was in the country as the endorser of Penshoppe. She also appeared in some TV shows and posed for photo shoots.
Sandara rose to fame in the Philippines in 2004 after she finished as a runner-up in Star Circle Quest, an ABS-CBN talent search show.
In spite of her success and fame in the Philippines, she left to try her luck in her home country of South Korea, after receiving an offer from a major record label and talent agency.
She later became part of 2NE1, one of the most popular K-Pop groups under YG Entertainment. – Rappler.com
