Returning to the Philippine spotlight, Sandara Park proudly hosted the grand finale of “Be The Next,” a global pop group survival show that recently wrapped up in the Philippines.
The survival show was in partnership with MLD Entertainment and TV5 and came after the formation of all-Filipino global pop group HORI7ON.
Known for her roots in Filipino showbiz and her rise as a K-pop superstar with 2NE1, Sandara brought her energy and heartfelt encouragement to the stage.
In an Instagram post after the show, Sandara looked back on her journey. “From a questor to a solo artist, back to trainee again and naging member ng K-pop idol to a judge of Pinoy Boyband Superstar and now! MC Dara,” she wrote.

She added that the project was special because it reminded her of her beginnings and the struggles she faced chasing her dreams.
Seeing the trainees’ passion brought her back to those early days. “Congrats! Top 9!!! simula palang ito, I wish for your bright future!” she said, also encouraging the rest of the 75 dreamers not to give up. “Tuloy tuloy lang! We will always support your dream.”
Alongside Sandara, the finale featured an impressive lineup of mentors and judges including EXO-CBX’s Chen, MOMOLAND’s Hye-bin, AB6IX’s Park Woo-jin, Bang Yedam and HORI7ON’s Vinci.
They were joined by dance mentors Bae Wan Hee and producer Bullseye, who guided the trainees throughout their journey.
