According to Chanty, while Sandara Park was in the Philippines and acting, she was actually under the same agency as the Lapillus idol, which was ABS-CBN and her agent was also Star Magic.

When asked if she had ever met the 2NE1 singer, Chanty initially said that she hadn’t until she suddenly remembered a moment, and her face absolutely lit up.

According to Chanty, she saw Sandara Park at the salon once but she was too shy to say hello. Even her fellow members joked that they were too nervous to say hello as it was when they were trainees, but they hope to have a chance soon.
