Why Is Sandara Park Not Planning To Get Married? 'I saw too many people who...'
Several Korean celebrities have been tying the knot since 2022, such as Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin, EXO Chen and his non-showbiz partner, and more.
Meanwhile, Sandara Park, who will turn 40 next year in Korean age, remains firm in her decision to not get married.
On May 18, a preview of the YouTube web show, "No Back Tak Jae Hoon," featured Sandara Park as its upcoming guest for next week's episode.
In the short clip then, Tak Jae Hoon asked Sandara Park:
"Why aren't you getting married?"
The idol then replied without hesitation, saying:
"I'm a non-maritalist."

Hearing this, MC Tak Jae Hoon expressed his curiosity about the reason and continued asking:
"Why, do you hate men that much? Or what?"
Looking at him, Sandara Park savagely responded:
"I've seen too many people who had failed (marriage) around me."
Looking at Dara's straightforwardness with a teasing grin, Tak stared at the star with a blank face, drawing laughter.
In particular, Tak Jae Hoon is a dolsing (divorced) man who married his wife but parted ways later. He had a son and a daughter from his ex-wife. He got married to a younger former model in 2001 and got divorced in 2015.
