On March 12, Sandara Park appeared in a video uploaded to the YouTube channel “큰손” titled “Top 10 Truly Delicious UK Restaurants Recommended by Gourmet Noh Hee Young (2NE1 Sandara Park).” During the episode, Noh Hee Young warmly introduced Sandara Park as one of her favorite guests. Sandara greeted viewers with a bright smile, jokingly saying, “I’m Dara, the advisor’s daughter.”
Noh Hee Young also revealed their long-standing friendship, explaining that the two share similar interests in fashion, food, and travel. They have traveled together to places including Japan, Thailand, the United States, and Jeju Island, highlighting their close bond. She added that Sandara Park even attended her 60th birthday celebration wearing a hanbok, describing the singer as being “almost like a daughter.”
The relationship between the two reportedly began when Noh Hee Young was working at CJ and saw Sandara Park debut through the program “2NE1 TV.” “Watching her debut felt like watching my own daughter succeed,” she recalled. “When the group disbanded, I felt really sad, and that’s when we became even closer.”
Sandara Park also shared her own perspective on relationships. “It takes me about 10 years to become close to someone,” she said. “She really takes care of me like a mother. Even without the other members, I visit her often. Now she feels like a very dependable mother figure.”
The two have maintained their friendship for 17 years, with Noh Hee Young joking that Sandara Park still feels like a baby to her despite the years passing. Sandara Park also revealed that she is preparing to release a new solo song, describing it as a genre she has never tried before. Noh Hee Young praised the singer’s dedication, saying Sandara has continued to work hard even after 2NE1’s activities slowed down, participating in musicals and pursuing new projects rather than relying solely on her past fame.
Meanwhile, the appearance comes amid recent controversy involving fellow 2NE1 member Park Bom. Earlier this month, Park Bom posted a handwritten message on social media that appeared to imply drug-related allegations against Sandara Park. Sandara Park later denied the claims through her personal SNS, stating, “I have never used drugs. I hope she becomes healthy.”
