Sandara Park is the second extended play (EP) by South Korean singer, actress and television presenter Sandara Park. It was released via Abyss Company on July 12, 2023, and marked the singer's first album release in South Korea and her first release overall in 14 years since the promotional single "Kiss" in 2009. The extended play features songwriting and production contributions from Sunwoo Jung-a, Hoody, Gray, and Heize.[1] The release of Sandara Park was supported by the single "Festival", which heavily samples Uhm Jung-hwa's 1999 song of the same name from the album 005.1999.06.[2]

Background and release

In February 2023, Sandara Park expressed via her social media accounts about working on her first solo album in South Korea. She noted that the extended play would feature songs from various genres, highlighting her involvement in the album development process.[3] In late-June 2023, Park announced that her first digital extended play would be released the following month on July 12. The announcement was accompanied by a teaser, which unveiled an amusement park-themed visual concept that plays on the singer's last name "Park".[4]

The EP marked her first release since her departure from YG Entertainment following the expiration of her contract in May 2021, and her first musical release overall in 14 years since "Kiss" in September 2009.
