2NE1's Dara feasts on chilli crab and goes shopping at VivoCity during S'pore work trip
K-pop star Sandara Park of 2NE1 gave Blackjacks — the group's fans — a surprise when she was spotted in Singapore enjoying a seafood feast at VivoCity's Yang Ming Seafood on Jan 28.
The singer, also known by her stage name Dara, shared photographs on Instagram on Jan 29 with the caption: "I ❤️ SG".
The post offered a glimpse into her experience at Yang Ming Seafood VivoCity, where she was seen posing beside the restaurant's live seafood tanks and taking candid shots around the establishment, including on the balcony.
Of course, the food was the star.
The 41-year-old star posted photos of the dishes she tucked into, including black pepper crab, chilli crab, and Yang Ming Seafood's signature Andrew Lobster — a poached Australian lobster served on a bed of chee cheong fun.
The VivoCity outlet is Yang Ming Seafood's first in-mall waterfront restaurant and its largest outpost.
While it is unclear if the singer is still in Singapore, Park shared in an subsequent Instagram post on Jan 30 that she had been in Singapore for a "short work trip".
The post, which garnered more than 11,300 likes one hour after it was published, showed Park and her team at the Singapore Zoo and Mandai Wildlife Reserve. They also dined at Temper Wine Room & Lounge in Mondrian Singapore Duxton and posed for photos at Merlion Park.
Park is no stranger to Singapore. Before this visit, she performed with 2NE1 members CL and Minzy at Waterbomb Singapore 2025, a water-themed music festival last August.
Then, she had also posted photos of herself travelling around the Republic after the group's Waterbomb performance, cheekily calling herself "Tourist Dara".
