Sandara Park was born on November 12, 1984, in Busan, South Korea. Her name means "wise and clever" and was based on the childhood nickname of the 7th-century general, Kim Yu-sin. She grew up with her two siblings, Thunder and Durami. Her family moved to Daegu in 1993. However, unable to make ends meet, the family moved to the Philippines in 1994. Park initially had a challenging time there as she did not know the language, and it was hard for her to make friends. However, she worked hard to become fluent as she hoped to one day become a celebrity there. Her father later left the family after meeting another woman. Sandara then had to begin working in order to help support the family.

In 2007, Park moved back to South Korea with her family. She signed a contract with YG Entertainment. She took on the stage name Dara and debuted with a K-pop girl group, 2NE1, in 2009, along with Bom, CL, and Minzy. Their first promotional single was "Lollipop," a collaboration with label-mates Big Bang. They officially debuted their own first single, "Fire," soon afterward. The same year, they released their first EP entitled "2NE1." The EP featured the song "I Don't Care," which won Song of the Year at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards.

Sandara also made her solo Korean debut in 2009. She released her first solo single, "Kiss." The song was used in a video promoting Cass Beer which Park starred in alongside Lee Min-ho. The video became popular due to the kissing scene between the two performers, and the single became massively popular. 2NE1 also continued releasing hits throughout this time, like "I Am the Best," "I Love You,"  and "Falling in Love." The latter song became very popular in the United States as well and topped the U.S. "Billboard" World Digital Songs chart.

Park was also developing her music career at this time. She released her self-titled six-track album "Sandara." The album included the novelty dance hit "In or Out." The song parodied her experience on "Star Circle Quest." The album sold over 100,000 physical copies, making Park the only South Korean artist to have an album certified platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry.

In summary, the total wealth of Sandara Park reflects strategic moves.
