Sandara Clarified Rumors Claiming She is the 3rd Wealthiest K-Pop Star
SANDARA PARK – Female Korean-pop artist has denied the rumors claiming she is the 3rd in the wealthiest K-pop stars.
Dara, a former member of 2NE1, addressed the persistent questions about her wealth. On October 5, 2022, Dara responded to a report that classified her as one of the seven richest female K-Pop stars in the world during her most recent appearance on the Korean variety talk show Problem Child in the House.
According to a September 2021 story published by SCMP.com, Dara has a net worth of “approximately USD 30 million,” or KRW43.2 billion. She ranked third on the list of the richest idols in the business, behind Lee Hyeori and IU.
“I was so sad. What do they mean, 30 billion? It felt so unfair,” she clarified, expressing that the information was released while her girl group, 2NE1, was still a prominent force in the industry.
Dara acknowledged that after reading the piece, she felt “sad.” Sandara acknowledges that she’s not the best at managing her money and that her buying habits prevent her from doing so.
“After debuting, I do think I’ve earned around 30 billion won but I shared [it] with my agency and [2NE1] members and also paid taxes. I also shopped like crazy so I wasn’t able to buy a building,” she recalls.
“These days, when I see my colleagues, I think that I could’ve bought a building if I didn’t shop. Now, I do not have 30 billion won. I do have three million won,” she states.
In Gangnam, South Korea, Sandara currently dwells in her very own apartment unit. The legendary Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao and Sandara are scheduled to appear together on television as guests on the South Korean variety show “Knowing Bros.”
