“Ang pambansang krung-krung” is now an Asian superstar. Sandara Park has come a long way from her days as a teen idol from Star Circle Quest when we simply knew her as Sandara, to her current status as Korean icon Dara Park.
“I miss the Philippines, especially the food,” confesses Park who comes back as one of the endorsers of clothing giant Penshoppe. Speaking nearly flawless Tagalog endeared her to her Filipino audience during her press launch for Penshoppe’s Spring Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection. Park is part of the new roster of endorsers for Team Penshoppe together with model Lucky Blue Smith, reality star Kendall Jenner, and model Sean O’Pry.
“Touched ako sa mga fans ko. It’s been 12 years pero nandiyan pa rin ang mga Parkers, sobrang kaka-touch,” the Asian superstar exclaims.
When asked about her style principle, Dara shared that when she flew back to Korea, her stylists only gave her men’s clothing. “Dun ko na-realize na bagay pala sa ‘kin yung mga loose and layered clothes.” Playful as she is, she also added, “Wala akong style icon, ako lang sa Google inuulit-ulit ko lang na search Sandara Park, Sandara Park.” This statement made everyone in the hall laugh.
The actress expressed her nostalgia for the Philippines and its tourist havens by sharing that she wants to explore all the famous beach and mountain sites the country has to offer. “Lahat gusto ko, pero favorite ko dati Tagaytay, kasi malapit lang sa Manila.”
When asked if she has any plans for the Philippines outside her clothing deal with Penshoppe, Park readily jumped in and said that she would love to do a comedy-drama with Vice Ganda, “kasi pareho kaming krung-krung, bagay kami,” she quips.
Park shares her fashion principle in which she said that she likes to choose standout bright and loud colors. “Red kung red at green kung green! Gusto ko yung suot ko nag pop-out,” she happily tells the press. Sandara Park is known for wearing bold colorful pieces and fun layers which Penshoppe has made available for her fans this summer. The retail chain uses light and breathable fabrics that make sweaters, pullovers, knits, and layered pieces comfortable for the warmer climate of the Philippines.
This summer, be brave and bold like Dara Park through Penshoppe’s Spring Summer Collection 2016, and celebrate your personal style through the season’s trendy pieces.
