Sandara Park, formerly of K-pop girl band 2NE1, has taken on a new career as a music instructor in Myanmar on the television show My Music Teacher, Mingalabar, broadcast on South Korean TV channel SBS FiL.
In the programme’s first episode, aired last week, the singer taught drums to children in Myanmar, where opportunities for artistic and athletic education are limited. She played the instrument in harmony with her students and also performed a solo version of 2NE1’s flagship number I Am the Best.
“I think I am not teaching, but learning,” Park said during My Music Teacher, Mingalabar (mingalabar is a Myanmese greeting). “The students and I are seemingly growing up together. I want to become a teacher who cheers up the kids and helps them become optimistic.”
The singer’s agency YG Entertainment said: “Park will team up with the local students and show off her unexploited sides.”
