South Korean idol, actress and Pambansang Krung Krung Sandara Park has had a busy 2023.

From the release of her self-titled EP to numerous successful music and guest appearances, the past year has been nothing short of thrilling for this multi-talented artist.

As she welcomed the new year, fans can’t help but anticipate what exciting projects and ventures Sandara Park has in store for them.

The 33rd Seoul Music Awards, set to take place in Bangkok, has revealed its performer lineup that features over 200 artists.

Among the confirmed performers are Dara, GOT7 members Youngjae and BamBam, Tiffany Young, NCT Dream, Kang Daniel and more.

Dara also recently marked her return to the South Korean music scene with her first solo album in 14 years.

The self-titled EP features the single Festival, which samples Uhm Jung-hwa’s 1999 song of the same name.

Asked about her next album, Dara plans to showcase a more mature and edgier concept on stage, hinting at a potential evolution in her musical style.

After their surprise reunion performance at Coachella in 2022, Dara provided an update on the possibility of a comeback for her former girl group, 2NE1. While challenges got in the way, the ongoing discussions among Sandara, CL, Minzy and Bom suggest that the dream of a 2NE1 comeback is still very much alive.

Meanwhile, Dara’s brother, the former MBLAQ member Thunder, is gearing up for his 2024 wedding to former Gugudan member Mimi.

Although the date remains undisclosed, on November 1, Sandara gave a sneak peek of the celebration by sharing a photo of herself in an elegant aqua-colored floor-length gown, accompanied by the caption, “Bridesmaid.”
