With speculation that there will be 3-4-5 members in the new girl version of Big Bang debuting, YG Entertainment has announced 5 members: Park Bom, Sandara Park, CL, Kong Min-ji and…..the fifth member is (?)
Park Bom (top right), we know from her Anycall days with Lee Hyori and Lee Joongi, Sandara Park (lower right) is a singer/actress from the Philippines, and known as “Philippine’s BoA,” rapper CL (top left) speaks 4 languages including English, French, Japanese and Kong Min-ji (bottom left) has a background in dance. For the fifth member, YG will be releasing more information when the group debuts.
Already, the girls are in the studio working on their debut album for release in April 2009. And Big Bang’s G-Dragon will play producer, so we’ll hear more “crack, crack, crack” from the girls.
As for the group name, “Sista” has been floating around, but YG Entertainment has stated that the name has yet to be determined.
What do you think would be a good name? Girls Girls? Wonder Generation? Big Bang Girls?
[Update: The title of 5 girl group's single is "Madness" ]
wow~! park bom is so pweettty! ^^
go sandy go sandy!!! ahehehe~!
but she’s good~! i kinda like her! =P
sandara looks so pretty! she was a hit in SCQ and had a movie with hero 2 times i think! but gotta admit she don’t know how to sing and dance!
lalalala~! abot the two…ahmmm….never heard of them! ^^
who’s the fifth member?! ^^
No girl group can beat WONDER GIRLS!!!!Sunye Jiang!!!
dont worry sandy! i hate the crab mentality of filipinos! they’re pulling someone down because they cant stand the fact that others are better than them. sucks ha?!
koreans help your fellow koreans… sandara is after all a PURE KOREAN herself. cut her some slack. no matter what filipinos say, its all up to you because she’s now in korea and filipinos will just watching, thinking of something they’ve lost: Sandara park!
yuck…
funny people.. why can’t you be happy for her. sandara was given a chance to prove her talent.. i don’t care if she’s the boa or not.. but i guess she would do good. she practice well enuf to kick butts:)lo.. i think most of you are just jealous, bec if sandara is just a small time primadonna, then why do you still remember songs?lolz
Hahaha, I’ve just skimmed thru the comments and so much talk about Sandara Park….this truly reflects her no.4 rank search on the internet then I guess…
Dam, I been waiting SO LONG for this group to come out already! Does Park Bom have to hit the big 30 before she finally debuts?
Sandara is not the BoA of the Philippines. Who gave her that title? Boa is relatively unknown in the Philippines. What I know is that she is the National “Krung-krung” of the Philippines…LOL! I find her naturally funny. Goodluck to her!
whoah… girl group AGAIN!?!???!
FYi, i didn’t bash sandy because all the things i’ve mentioned ARE totally true…
and to APA, same thought… yeah! aliens pleasing to the eye were really celebrated much here in the philippines BEFORE! but when charice made a name in the REAL music industry, everything changed. ( well at least filipinos became aware of what music really is! )
it’s just a matter of time in this industry, TRUE, she’s got that SOMETHING that made her somehow famous in a short span of time BUT driving her wheels back to her country might be a BIG thing for her so let it be! chance chance chance… its a K thing!( she’s korean so she should be there!)
we just butt in cuz of that PHILIPPINE’ BOA stuff( just that! ) exaggerated huh … just that! i never hated nor liked her, its just that, music ( philippine music couldn’t be paired in with her! NEVER!)
darn. NO WORRIES, if such CRABs of us made you say those things, then you oversound a zero headed RACIST! WE didn’t lose her. SHE left all by herself. its her decision. OUR country have helped her family recover from their bankrupt life and all. they’ve had enough so why not go back to their own land and make a decent living there? ( maybe all foreigners want that?!)
anyway, id wait for their debut to see the real deal on her… i like park bom. thats it!
hoho^^
Whoever said that Sandara is Philippines’ BoA must be damn crazy! That stupid girl can’t even sing! Except for that “In or Out” song. LOL.
Sandara Park wasn’t the greatest actress or singer in the Philippines, but heck.. I still love her!
Goo Ate Sandara! I’m sure she improved!
scoopersakura , you say you’re an editor? yeah…? where? … in korea.
if you’re an editor, then I’m the philippines’ JJH
or the Philippines’ Paris Hilton.
BWAHAHAHA!!!
scoopersakura ,
you say you’re an editor?…yeah…? where?… in korea? BWAHAHAHA
please check your idioms…idioms are non-modifiable. the idiom is RING A BELL. since they are not taken literally, they can not be the sum of its parts.did you get that or do i need to spell it out?you choose! COCOON!!!
and if you’re an editor, then i’m the philippines’ JJH
…or the philippines’ Paris Hilton
“‘wag kang magsalita ng patapos” a Philippine saying that means you shouldn’t limit yourself as that..
C’mon Give SANDARA a chance! She cannot sing well here because she isn’t using her language! don’t take back what you said guys when she will be famous around the world. Look at her dance NOW. you will be amazed. she is trying her best. Don’t regret everything you have stated here. “SANADARA CANNOT SING!” well, are you sure? she will be more comfortable now because she is singing in her language..
Don’t judge her just like that.
KARMA will come unto you..
I was not a fan of Sandara when she was here.. But I watch her movies, I think she can do it.
Diba parang ang pangit2x niya mag act d2 kasi hindi xa mxadong marunong magtagalog. Kayo kaya nasa position niya. makakaact kabah ng d mo kabisado language na gamit mo? think about it..
There are A lot of RACISTS here! urgh! look at yourself!
THIS ISN’t A RACIST Comment.
SAndara.jia you!
CRAB MENTALITY.. yeah. I agree with you ‘no worries’. I guess other Filipinos just can’t stand the fact that SAndara is Rising.
I hate it so much!
that’s why we are not that “RICH” becuase of our lack of love in our country and because of or mindset!
look at KOREANS, they all work hard for their country,,
yeah right …
after that CRABs … now the love for country.
CLAP CLAP!
LYKAHHH, are you filipino? what do you know about economy and mindset? do you think being RICH is the only basis of progress? …success? if you would hate any FACT here, that’s your existence! do NOT generalize statements, false on your understanding just because we struck your views. if we say that we don’t like her, BE IT! if we do like her, BE IT. you are the one who can’t stand it!
matters of citizenship here has nothing to do with personal desires and wants.
CONGRATS in advance on their debut…
( i like it ! )
good thing she will be launched. missed her. whatever makes you happy girl! go for it!! See you soon!
Sandara????NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!her album DID NOT EVEN SELL!!!!!but its good for her…new start….good luck….
omg. sandara park. she can’t even sing or dance. but she can act though. lol. good luck to her in Korea.
hello kitty AKA sandara hater,
if you’re so good at this, non-modifiable should have no hyphen.
idioms are arbitrary. get over it. and even if i’m wrong, no big deal. you’re exaggerating things. web talk is not an area for grammar scrutiny. you know that well enough.
you can’t get over the fact that somebody refuted you, so you resorted to bashing the person directly. that’s why i fought back and told you you should see a psychiatrist for your obvious hate for a person you don’t even know!
so please stop bashing me for heaven’s sake!
and for the record, i’m so irked with how some filipinos react so negatively. good thesis topic. negative word of mouth even before her debut. such madness. why?
if you’ve observed sandara’s career, she actually improved in her last year in showbiz. her role in d’ lucky ones was so much better and more natural than her role in can this be love. also, before she left, she took voice lessons in UP college of music. too bad she didn’t have a chance to showcase her improvement. and from the youtube dance videos that came out, i could say she is at par with the other girls in dancing.
as i said she’s compared with BOA because like BOA she became popular in another country before her rise in korea. and maybe looks, too. so please stop whining.
besides, YG gave her that tag. so we know that she can substatiate and live up to that tag soon. hopefully.
OHMIGOD! OH MY FRIGGING GOOD GOD!!!! eeeewwww! you actually watched her movies? YUCK!!! m sorry but which ghetto did you come from? you’re so ghetto-ish! what person in her right mind would even watch her movies or follow her non-existent career? haven’t you got anything better to do than watch trash?
and who ever told you that i’m filipino. i’m not! and i don’t know sandara hater whoever she is!
GET A LIFE!
Did anyone saw her dance recently in Youtube? She was a guest in ASAP a filipino show. She improve she can dance. There were 3 of them dancing. She could speak filipino well. There was an interview regarding her in youtube. I heard her sing via youtube only. Base on my opinion if a person can really sing it doesn’t matter if in whichever language she is singing the tune. I’m not a fan or a hater. Just wanna share a Comment. But she isn’t the Boa of the Philippines either. I just knew her recently via popseoul so I don’t know much. But I know some filipino so I asked about her to confirm if she was known as Boa of Philippines. We will see the outcome soon anyways so yeah. Let’s wait.
hello kitty,
i didn’t say you’re filipino.
“you actually watched her movies? YUCK!!! m sorry but which ghetto did you come from? you’re so ghetto-ish! what person in her right mind would even watch her movies or follow her non-existent career?” — i watch movies once a week and rent dvds a lot. i watch all types of movies, even filipino ones, to support the industry. i have the resources to spend, so why not? i also need to be updated with news and showbiz. my course compels me to do so.
if you want good movies that came out recently, i recommend doubt, the reader, and slumdog millionaire. a good local movie that was released recently? “100,” starring Mylene Dizon.
please don’t hit me below the belt. let’s just stop this.
i just know the struggles an actor goes through have a chance at showbiz. i have “struggling actor/singer” friends. all the auditions, VTRs, etc. … those are pretty hard processes, if you ask me. not to mention demeaning. that’s why i’m hoping sandy the best, because more or less i became a fan of her comic relief gags, and everybody knows what she went through.
@ SCOOPERSAKURA
don’t mind the fag***//
Lol\
you have sound reasoning while someone here is just good at trash talk
no.
err sandara? boa of the philippines?
she is just named as SANDARA PARK.
and will only be SANDARA PARK.
what does boa mean.?
i think YG is not dumb enough to get Sandara if they think she’s not good…that’s why they hve trainings to make them better..
go sandy!!!
@cracks..
BoA is a singer
if u guys said “sandara can’t sing”
its because she doesn’t use her own language she used tagalog in her previous singing carer
but we dont know coz we haven’t hear her voice singing in korean…just give her a chance
and why do u care if they named her as philippine’s BoA
is it a big deal for u or INSECURE/JEALOUS…etc.
NO GIRL GROUP CAN BEAT WONDER GIRLS….
I love Sandara! I believe that she will do great job in her country…I’ll be rooting for you Sandy! In or out! lolz!
what?!
the Philippines’ BoA?!?
yeah, right!
whatever.
she’s not that great.
yuck.
ewww…!
sorry to say this, but it’s true.
even my korean friend doesn’t like her.
Good Luck to Sandara!!
true…crab mentality…tsk tsk!
When they say the name “SANDARA PARK”…she also brought and represent the country “PHILIPPINES”…she’s a korean right!??
you guyz…
be happy and proud of it!
alright?!
—polymp4@yahoo.com
can’t wait until Park Bom debuts! That girl definitely has talent!
Sandy is not the ‘Philippines Boa’…talent wise…whoever said that is out of their minds!! There are a lot of ‘great, serious, talented entertainers and singers in the Philippines and Sandy was NOT it….I am not saying she can be good now or in the future, but even when she was in the Philippines people were wanting her to improve on singing and dancing…but She was nice, funny and lovable, that is she became known here.
I think her singing voice is not that bad, she can actually carry a tune, dancing though…I think she has to work on that…
I kinda did like her and I wish her the best and I wish her success….I really do…Sandy don’t change with success and do not forget to come back here with those KPOP groups okay?~!
Mabuhay ka~!
I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY BAD ABOUT SANDARA…COZ’ THERE’S ONLY ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE…”I LOVE HER,WHATEVER/WHOEVER SHE IS,OR WHEREVER SHE CAME FROM”
“KUNG SAN SYA MASAYA…I’LL SUPPORT HER..”
BTW,I REALLY LIKE THEIR(2NE1) SONG “FIRE”…IT’S VERY CATCHY & I CAN’T STOP LISTENING INTO IT…CAN’T WAIT FOR THE OTHERS..WEEEEE..!!!
WAT!!NOEONE CANN BEAT WONDER GIRLZ!!
SANDRA IS PURDIE BUT ID LIKE THEE REST!!
BUT WONDER GIRLS BETTA!!
BUT I DINK THEY STILL COOL!!EHEEH!!
JEASLOUSY TAT TOP KISSED SANDRA!!
HUMPH!!NOT FEAR!!
IT COULD BE THE WONDER GIRLZ!!
ONE OF DEM!!
i am not a big SANDARA FAN before.. but now im a HUGE FAN of her.. I LOVE the music of 2ne1,
SUCCESS is what she deserve, because of her hardwork, as i remember she’s been a good actress/ or should i say (CITIZEN?) here in the philippines.. i didnt here any NEWS or gossip that she’s a headache in the industry.. she is always nice to all the filipino, until now she is in her country she is still nice to every filipinos, you will not hear any bad words from her regarding our country, even there is a lot of filipino saying bad words on her..
yeah right! she’s not really the BoA of the philippines before .. but maybe someday, SHE WILL.. we cannot say.. u will just surprise!! you dont need to have a huge voice like christina aguilera, mariah or charice to be on top of the music industry.. good music, a good personality and packaging is the best part of it.
GO GO GO! sandy! i mean DARA! =P YOU DID IT!! u did it on “FIRE” and u told ur detractors ” i DONT CARE!”. you really prove them wrong.. now its time for you to show the real SANDARA PARKS.. its time to shine.. keep your feet on the ground.. ( as u always does) HARDWORKING PERSONS LIKE DARA DESERVE to be IDOLIZED.. she is not FAKE unlike other famous celebs out there.. i really wish more success to DARA..
OMG! this is really my first time to comment/defend a celebrity on or via internet… im really hooked on 2ne1 cant believe it..
im listening to “FIRE” for almost 1week now non-stop, since i have dowbloaded it to my ipod.. and the video i keep on watching it… doing all the moves from CL to minzi to BOM upto DARA.. i like the Steps its really cute .. i can even imitate every moves in every shot of the video, from hand language to the dance to the move of the head up to the EYE movement of DARA when she “HEY!” and upto the WALK till the end of the MV. wahahaha!!! thats really cool.. hope i can video myself… hahaha!! i can join the “2ne1 fire dance contest ” if there is… LOL!!
hope to see them here in the philippines.. wanna see them perform live and ASAP will do..
i envy the koreans for having sandara…
i wish she’s back here so that we could see more of her.
admittedly there are the haters, but as seen above, more people like sandara than those who dont.
really, the filipinos are really fond of her and always want to see more of her. im sure koreans would imemdiately see how lovable she is… very soon.
congrats sandy.
and for the most part, we don’t know BOA really well here in the PH, and I think Sandara could build a name fore her own, anyway (see how many posts are about her over the other girls here).
guys! dara isnt the boa of the phil.!
she was never been called “philippine’s boa”!!
we filipinos dont even know boa was and we only call sandara “ang pambansang krung-krung ng pilipinas”

wow! go dara! i hope u and gd make an mv for hello!!
DARAGON!
MOVE OVER WONDER GIRLS !!
