MANILA, Philippines — Korean singer Sandara Park enters a new chapter of her career after launching her very own record label.
Sandara, best known today as a member of K-pop girl group 2NE1, is going independent as a soloist following the launch of her Aradnas label, which is her name spelled backwards.
The label called the milestone a "new beginning" for Sandara, who is set to release new single album "rePRISM" on June 20.
"Starting with this, she plans to continue various activities, including festivals, fan concerts, and an Asia fan concert tour," said Aradnas in a statement.
The fan concert tour will begin in Seoul's YES24 Live Hall on July 4, with additional stops likely to be announced at a future time.
Aradnas is already populating its freshly-made social media pages with photos of Sandara as wall promos for the 'rePRISM' single album and eponymous fan concert tour.
Sandara was previously signed under YG Entertainment, which launched 2NE1 back in 2009. She departed the label in 2021 following the expiry of her contract, joined Abyss Company that same year, and is now going independent after five years with Abyss.
Sandara moved to the Philippines when she was 10 years old and rose to fame after finishing as a runner-up on "Star Circle Quest."
She released several acting and music projects before returning to Korea where she debuted with 2NE1, and from time to time, Sandara returns to the Philippines for performances and the occasional holiday.
