Sandara Park, a shopping queen with 1,000 pairs of shoes: "Even if I had to skip meals, I had to buy them... I turned four rooms into closets"

[Sportschosun Reporter Jo Yun-seon] 2NE1's Sandara Park revealed her love of shopping.

On the 26th, a video titled "Debuted in the Philippines, debuted with 2NE1, debuted as a band, and still looks like a rookie no matter how many times she debuts. The ultimate ageless beauty Sandara Park" was uploaded to YouTube channel "Jo Hyun-ah's Ordinary Thursday Night."

When asked whether she still enjoys shopping these days, Sandara Park replied, "Honestly, shopping is the only thing I have left after giving up my private life." She added, "I didn't date, I didn't drink, I didn't go out, and the only thing I enjoyed was shopping."

Jo Hyun-ah exclaimed, "I've seen your closet on TV so many times since long ago, and it's hip-hop itself. The way you live is completely gangster."

In response, Sandara Park said, "Early education is important from the start. When I was a trainee at YG, the Jinusean brothers told me something. They said, 'Dara, even if you skip meals, you have to buy shoes.'" Her remark drew laughter.

She continued, "I'm doing a basketball program now, and Seo Jang-hoon asked me, 'Do you collect sneakers?' So I told him that story." She then joked, "If you look at it just as basketball shoes, she's Michael Jordan. If you judge only by shoes, she's the best basketball player."

When asked how many pairs of shoes she owns, Sandara Park said, "I think I have about 1,000 pairs." She added, "I have four rooms, and they're all closets," showing off her shopping-mania side.

After hearing that, Jo Hyun-ah kept praising her, saying, "You're really cool. You're uniquely cool." Sandara Park replied, "You only live once. It depends on how you look at it, and I'm grateful that you see it in a positive way."
