YG clones BoA

10.23 sandara park

YG Entertainment has taken Sandara Park, of former Philippines fame, under its wing. Sandara was a triple threat, although threat might not be the right word. A few years ago, she thought that she should take her shot at the Korean pop scene. Obviously, she was unsuccessful. Some people criticized her for being all hype but no substance. But when she returned to the Philippines, she wasn’t welcomed with open arms. Her fans felt that she sold out and now was expecting to loved again. And now, here she is again, as a YG trainee along side Park Bom.

YG Family is known to deal out raw talent with less emphasis on appearance than their plastic counterparts. But now they have a member who’s stark resemblance to a certain SM Town artist is uncanny. Is YG trying to get into the pop princess business, or does this girl have what it really takes to take Korea by storm?

    HELLO, SHE’S NOT EVEN HALF AS GREAT AS BOA.

    BoA has TALENT, LOTS OF FANS, LOADS OF EXPERIENCE, POPULARITY, and THE PERFECT & AMAZING VOICE.

    But Sandara? Her so-called “songs” and “acts” in the phils are like amateur compared to Boa’s!

    How can she be a BoA clone? O_o

    best of luck sandara!! make your way to the TOP!! =)

  8. 8 Tabitha March 31, 2008 at 10:10 pm

    First of all, I would like to say sorry if I’ll be saying or typing anything that would offend you. ‘kay? :D

    Sandara and BoA should not be compared. I mean, they might be both of the same age and might be both multi-linguals, but performance-wise and career-wise, BoA fares much, much better. I daresay that even after years of training, Sandara still could not be compared to BoA. Why? Because BoA has more training and performing experience, hit singles, fans and was BORN WITH TALENT (and good looks too) while Sandara’s skills need to be developed and polished, which may take a few years (unless YG is some god who can make miracles). I’m not saying that Sandara Park has no talent or has no chance of making it in Korea. However, she did win the Star Circle Quest (a runner-up, though) thingy not primarily because of her talents but because the Filipino people loved her [I think if she got booted out of the talent search earlier, no one may watched the show anymore.] Or maybe they loved the fact that she was Korean and spoke Tagalog [which they found cute.] So, for singing and dancing, I think she really needs to work on it [and I hope she succeeds!] and maybe, just maybe, she can be a good KOREAN actress. C’mon. All her movies in the Philippines were spoken in Tagalog with inserts of Korean phrases. Everybody should know that she spoke Tagalog and it must have been hard for her to deliver her lines or maybe it just sounded bad because she had an accent; but MAYBE when she’s delivering her lines in Korean she might actually stand a chance.YAY!

    I liked her because of her fun, bubbly personality and her charismaaaa. Anyway, people should stop hating on her and bashing her. Maybe you hate her because of her kissing scene with TOP [haha.] or maybe you just hate the fact that she WAS popular despite her lack of talents. Anyway again, I actually sound like an anti-but-a-fan, don’t I? Oh, whatever. I just wish Sandara Park all the best.

    P.S.
    Don’t compare her with BoA, really. They’re different.
    Different in terms of popularity, personality, looks. And, oh yeah, talents. For all you know Sandara can do something BoA actually can’t :D

    BoA still owns her though.

    BoA=♥

  13. 13 JEIVZ April 14, 2008 at 5:24 pm

    all i know about sandara:

    she known as sandy in the philippines, hero angeles (her former loveteam partner) was the grand questor of SCQ, and sandara was the in the 1st place… they have a lot of fans and
    viewers in the phil., people love their tandem, and people going crazy, but she had a boyfriend that time named joseph was also a questor. hero and joseph are very good friends…

    sandara is a great recording artist, she had an album in the star records (one of the biggest recording company in the phil.,), she had a lot of movie in star cinema (one of the biggest production in the phil.,), she also a lot of tv shows… including sandara’s romance and i love is scq reload – ok ako!.

    well, all we want is sandara’s happiness!
    and we were hoping, that someday sha return to the phil., because there are also people who want hero and sandy come back together in philippine televis
    ion…

  14. 14 oh noes! April 17, 2008 at 3:36 pm

    I’m not really a fan of sandara…but she has gotten prettier. But i doubt that sandara can be a ‘clone’ of BoA. i mean, c’mon….compared to what BoA has achieved…sandara’s well….not that close. not that i’m bashing her or anything..

    sandara is a good actress if not the best (yet)…and if people, especially the koreans can give her a chance she might bring her self to the top.
    what i like about her is that she’s a pure beauty..unlike the other korean actresses that are plastic surgery-fans..
    i just hope she’ll remain as who she is…the sandara park the Filipinos knew and loved.

  21. 21 Jhay September 6, 2008 at 1:34 am

    i just hope this site or the people behind this site get what they want from the comments and reactions for Sandara. She’ll be a star soon. Prayers from her fans here in manila are overwhelming. hope you make it there

    best of luck and god bless

  22. 22 smargott November 21, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    omy..wish her luck..

    hay..wish her luck^_^

  23. 23 kyam7 December 11, 2008 at 10:06 pm

    she’s a naturally pretty thats what i like about her
    shes not an avid-fan of plastic surgery;]
    but then BoA is BoA—Sandara is Sandara
    dont be so rude bout her
    dont judge a book by its cover;]

  24. 25 numi December 29, 2008 at 10:06 am

    She looks like EUGENE to me!

  25. 26 Epik High_Fan December 29, 2008 at 5:51 pm

    do u mean she isn’t korean

  26. 27 ^^ December 29, 2008 at 11:45 pm

    @Epik High_Fan—Sandara Park is Half-Korean, Half-Filipino^^

  27. 28 maimai1987 January 22, 2009 at 11:30 am

    i think she’ll do better in acting than singing.

    like honest…

  28. 29 lei January 22, 2009 at 10:32 pm

    yea..

    sHe doesn’t look like boa.

    nd for evry0ne’s information, when her career in the philippines is in the highest peak, she keeps on coming in and out of the country..so, as a result, the projects that should be given to her were passed…and so…that’s it.period.

  29. 30 lei January 22, 2009 at 10:37 pm

    yea! she doesn’t look like boa. She’s a lot prettier than her…

    nd for evrybody’s information. at the peak of her career she keeps on coming in and out of the country, so as a result, the projects that shud be given to her were being passed to someone hu s more available…nd so…that’s it..

  30. 31 ftw January 22, 2009 at 10:40 pm

    i don’t get it. why are they comparing her to boa.
    you all need to watch her so-called MV “in or out”. <<<very sad sad thing. what triple-threat?!?! she can’t dance nor sing nor act. nothing. she’s plain…so plain and boring.

  31. 32 lei January 22, 2009 at 10:44 pm

    the reason behind pe0ple who say negative things s dat… they’re just simpLy jealous with the person. to think dat the girl did not undergo plastic surgery plus the fact thst she has the ability..you know..

  32. 33 lei January 22, 2009 at 10:45 pm

    nd welL yeah..she came here in the philippines to visit nd performd at ASAP (ABS-CBN’s)

  33. 34 lei January 22, 2009 at 10:51 pm

    nd for the very fact also dat, sandara was loved nd supported in the philippines unlyk n korea (considerd as her tru nationality) she is lambasted…

  34. 35 yahe January 23, 2009 at 10:50 am

    hey, hey, hey!

    you all guys hate sandara park, please stop making this bitterness comments..okay.. why would you not wait and see what she can do now…YG entertainment won’t risk their dignity for a person which has no talent…it’s just simple to say that all of you guys are “JEALOUS”

    and now that she is officially in the Female Big Bang group…(gosh, i can’t believe it that she’s making a name in korea..proud of her :) )

    go Sandy!!!!

  35. 36 demi January 23, 2009 at 10:20 pm

    what? she’s now compared to Boa?hmm..that;s too much i think..Sandy can’t even dance nor sing..well maybe she an sing, but just a bit..wel, i wish her all the best, this is too much pressure o her!

  36. 37 inyi January 28, 2009 at 10:26 am

    nah… sandara is now written on the Philippines Media History for having more than a million votes when she was a contestant at ABS-CBN “Star Circle Quest”, she might not be that good in acting and singing but she have proven her self for her antics of making people happy & smile. Her fame fades when she fly to korea and went back in the philippines, because a new chineese girl had came named Kim Chui.. well goodluck to sanhdara, wished she have a lot of success there in korea…

  37. 38 oushi88 April 4, 2009 at 11:21 pm

    i dunno about you guys but I dont think all the hype is worth the talent in their case. Why do they need the support of BIG BANG to boost their popularity…

    SAndara Park? Okay, I’m not a hater BUT! She left the Philippines bec. as the comment below said: THE HYPE DIED DOWN. and she wasnt even popular here for her TALENT. She bec. famous bec. she knew how to say: I LOVE YOU in FILIPINO. and people were amused* at her entertaining way of singing (like children’s songs)

    Found out that GDRAGON will be WRITING SONGS and PRODUCING for their ALBUM- he’s got sooo much responsibility being 20 y/o and the leader of Big Bang. ARgh! Which means, his concentration will be divided! I was even looking forward to more awesomeness from the band (big bang) G dragon!

    21st Century New evolution can make their OWN way to the top. They’re not REAL artists if they cant do that and need the help from a more established group. Sheeesh! Too much publicity!

  38. 39 The Unusual John April 12, 2009 at 3:23 am

    i love her no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!

    eat ur heartz out haterz!!!!!!!!

    SANDARA all the way!!!

  39. 40 cutiemary April 29, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    whatevahhh!!!

    sandara has her own beauty, and everyone have a talent… so i think people in the philippines love her coz she has a quality that no one does!!!

    philippines people loves her,why not korean people? if they hate sandara it seems that they hate & laugh themselves…

    lol..

    hate & laugh yourself guys like a crazy frog… you deserve it for hurting sandara…

    accept punishment.hahahaha

  40. 41 cutiemary April 29, 2009 at 4:40 pm

    i like korea as well as their culture, but i hate those korean people that hate their own breed!!!

    lol…lol…

  41. 42 Nonilyn May 7, 2009 at 11:55 am

    EveryOne who hates Sandy was just afraid of the posibility that she will get more fans than BoA does!

    well what can i say,

    Sandara Park has the face, the voice and charisma!

    She took Philippines by Storm’

    they have different talents from one another.

    BOA became loved by many because of her extrordinary talents!

    whereas sandara became loved by many due to her natural charm!

    those people who are trying to ruin her are just jealous of her!

    can’t u do anything with ur life u pipol?!
