• K-Pop Star Sandara Park Shares Her Personal Struggles of Constantly Moving Between Countries

    While they were guests on SBS PowerFM's "Cultwo Show" on December 18, Brian and Sandara Park talked about how they felt when they first came to Korea.

    On the radio, Brian said, "It's been a while since I first came out."

    People in their 20s only know me as the uncle who cleans these days.

    After today's radio show, I'm going to film "Cleaning Freak."

    He talked about the past and said, "As soon as I graduated from high school, I moved to Korea and was shocked by the different way of life there."

    The two cultures were different, and I felt very alone.

    My boss and Hwanhee were with me, but at first we weren't close.

    When I got to Korea and was asked to live with some people I didn't even know, it was awkward.

    She also said, "I was in the Philippines before I had to move back to Korea for work."

    It was really hard.

    I could not speak Filipino, so I only talked to people in English.

    I got a lot of abuse for it because of that.

    Although that was the case, I did my best to speak like a Filipino.

    I've forgotten some English words and can now speak Filipino very well.

    "Going back to Korea, everything was new," she said.

    People often got the wrong idea about me because I went to school and grew up in the Philippines, where greetings and traditions are different.

    I remember being very upset at the time.

    Sandara Park also told a story about the custom of leaving tips.

    "I went back to the Philippines after almost 10 years and saw that the tips had gone up a lot," she said.

    When Koreans go there, they don't know that, right?""I got a massage and went on a tour with 2NE1.

    But the person who massaged Minzy kept coming up to us and talking.

    "They wanted to thank us because we didn't know we were paying them every month."…"

    During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

    The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

    “I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

    He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

    “In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

    Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
