Could we see Sandara Park back on the big screen soon?

The 2NE1 member recently shared that she is open to returning to acting in an interview on Karen Davila's YouTube vlog, expressing her desire to work on another Filipino film.

"Gusto ko po, and I want to do a Pinoy movie again," she said.

"Dati, when I was 20 years old, lahat ng roles ko, exchange student. Hindi pa marunong mag-Tagalog, pero ngayon, mas magaling pa ako mag-Tagalog. I think I can do some much more mature roles, and 'yung mga love story," she added.

For now, however, Sandara has her hands full with the release of her new album, Reprism, where she will show a different side of herself.

"I was always the color yellow, orange, bright, and cute, but I want to show something new. So I chose the color blue kasi blue po 'yung opposite color ng orange," she explained.

And it isn't just her image that's getting a makeover. Sandara revealed that Reprism will feature metal and rock songs. 

"For now, I am releasing the album in Japan muna kasi I am doing this genre called J-pop and J-rock. Korean, pero I am trying J-pop, J-rock kasi bagay po 'yung boses ko sa Japanese. Dati pa, when I sing Japanese songs, so many Japanese staff telling me, 'Oh Dara, you should try something in Japan,'" she said.

Park got her start in the Philippine entertainment industry when she joined the reality talent competition Star Circle Quest in 2004, where she finished as the first runner-up.

She then appeared in several local television shows, including Krystala, SCQ Reload: Ok Ako!, and Crazy for You. She also made her big-screen debut in the 2004 romantic anthology film Bcuz of U.

She later returned to South Korea to debut as a member of 2NE1 alongside CL, Bom, and Minzy in 2009. The group went on to become one of the most influential acts of K-pop's second generation,
