Sandara Park ‘sad, disappointed’ after Cebu City concert was postponed
Sandara Park couldn’t help but feel disappointed in the outcome of a Cebu City concert where she was supposed to perform but ended up being postponed due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Park was among the performers of the “Awake: A New Beginning” joint concert, which was initially set to take place on Sept. 23 in Cebu City. Also part of the lineup are K-pop groups AB6IX, VIVIZ, and YOUNITE, as well as Korean dance crews 1Million and MB Crew.
