MANILA – A sincere Sandara Park apologized to her ex-boyfriends on television when she recalled being subjected to a “dating ban” during her days as a K-pop idol.
The former 2NE1 member spoke about the issue during a recent episode of the South Korean show “Love Intervention,” where she appeared as a guest.
The panel was discussing romance during the time of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I’ve been in ‘no contact’ (no face-to-face contact) relationships even before COVID-19,” he said, according to the Soompi translation.
She recalled that during her time as a K-pop trainee, she was “scolded for being in a relationship, and my manager took my cell phone from me.”
“Then after debuting, there was a five-year dating ban.”
Park, 35, left the Filipino show business in 2007 and soon signed with YG Entertainment, the group behind 2NE1. The supergroup debuted in 2009.
“I didn’t really date someone because they told me not to,” she said. “Only recently did I decide to go on an active date. All he needed was the will to be more assertive. “
Without mentioning specific names, Park continued, “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to my ex-boyfriends.”
At the time of her 2NE1 debut, it was publicly known that Park had previously been in a relationship with Filipino actor Joseph Bitangcol. They had already parted ways before their 2007 departure to South Korea.
