[by Park Su-in, NewsEn] Former 2NE1 member Sandara Park has sparked massive speculation about her incredible net worth after a candid guest appearance on a popular Korean variety show segment. On January 7, Sandara joined the "Special Guarantee" corner of VIVO TV’s 'Secret Guarantee' as a featured guest, where she opened up about everything from her unorthodox financial habits to her over-the-top shopping sprees that left co-hosts in disbelief.
During the fan Q&A segment, one viewer asked Sandara about her approach to asset management, referencing her close friend Hwangbo who made headlines for saving 100,000 KRW (~$75 USD) monthly through smart investing. The fan wanted to know how much Sandara put into savings each month, to which she hilariously admitted, "I don’t do savings accounts. I just never knew how to navigate that kind of thing, or even thought about it while I was living my busy life. But lately, I’ve actually started dipping my toes into investing. It’s all new to me, but I’m trying!
Another fan brought up her long-standing reputation as a shopping enthusiast, sharing that fellow celebrities have joked, "Dara, if you hadn’t shopped so much, you could’ve bought an entire building!" They then asked what she’d grab first if her house caught fire, considering her rumored collection of high-end luxury items. Sandara didn’t hold back, revealing, "I think I’d grab my bag full of Chrome Hearts jewelry first. Those pieces are way over 100 million KRW (~$75,000 USD) now—they were super expensive even when I bought them, and some are nearly impossible to find even if you have the cash to spare. Oh, and I also have a pair of jeans that cost almost 10 million KRW (~$7,500 USD) with custom patches on them!" Her shocking comments left co-hosts Song Eun-i and Kim Sook completely stunned.
This isn’t the first time Sandara has addressed wild rumors about her wealth. Previously, when reports claimed her total assets exceeded 30 billion KRW (~$22.5 million USD), she set the record straight in a humorous yet honest way, saying, "I did earn around 30 billion KRW since my debut, but that was split with my entertainment company and the other 2NE1 members, plus I paid a ton in taxes. I shopped like crazy for years, so I never ended up buying a building like my friends teased I could’ve. These days, when I hang out with my celebrity pals, I catch myself thinking, 'If I hadn’t splurged so much on shopping, I could’ve owned a whole building by now.' But right now, I don’t have 30 billion KRW—I’ve only got about 3 million KRW (~$2,250 USD) to my name!"
