Philippines-raised K-pop star Sandara Park surprised to find Jollibee on Orchard Road, gets dinner there
In a post on her X page on Tuesday (Oct 13), the K-pop star recounted her surprise at seeing the popular Filipino fast-food chain while walking at Orchard Road.
K-pop singer Sandara Park, a former member of 2NE1, expressed surprise at discovering Jollibee while strolling through Orchard Road. Born in Busan, South Korea, and raised in the Philippines, Park is fluent in Tagalog. During a trip to Singapore for the Singapore Grand Prix, Park was walking around the area when she stumbled upon the Filipino fast-food chain.
The outlet had been in Singapore previously but had since closed; however, it returned in 2013 at Lucky Plaza and expanded across the island. Park noted, "I said, 'This is going to be my dinner!'" She was then approached by fellow countrymen, recognizing her despite her masked identity. They took a group photo together. Park's post garnered a wave of Pinoy Pride, with many Filipinos praising her use of the term 'kababayan ko' (my countrymen).
