Sandara Park continues to earn the hearts of Filipinos!
The former 2NE1 member recently visited Bohol to show Korean actor Jung Il Woo around. He is known for appearing in the K-Dramas Moon Embracing the Sun (2012), Cinderella with Four Knights (2016), and Good Job (2022).
Dara showed him around Bohol for her YouTube series DARATOUR.
Filipino fans were able to catch a glimpse of her with her little tour guide flag in the airport of Panglao.
Netizens loved how excited she looked to welcome the actor to the province. They said it was obvious why “Filipinos love Dara until today” since she “singlehandedly revives Philippine tourism despite not being an official ambassador.”
Sandara singlehandedly reviving the Phil Tourism kahit hinde siya ginagawang official ambassadress. Kaya love na love ng pinoy yan si Dara at hanggang ngayon kilala siya ng mga tao. 😍😍😍 https://t.co/F6ez1007VY

Netizens were emotional upon thinking of how much the 2NE1 singer loves to come back to the country she spent her childhood years in.
The fact that she’s doing this because she just love going back to ph everytime her sched permits (minsan paparaanan pa niya) and bring friends along.. 🥹 https://t.co/AHiWYcSPJ7

Though she’s full Korean, she’s considered a Pinoy by everyone.
Dara is basically Filipinong Koreana for us. Like we know she is Koream and we respect and acknowledge that when she isn’t in PH, but whenever she comes here, she’ll be acknowledged as Pinoy and she loves it too. She’s so much better than whoever Ambassador they came up with lol https://t.co/gpsFeprtxg
