Korean star Sandara Park made the rounds online as netizens compared her to Filipina-American actress Liza Soberano following the latter’s self-rebranding issue.
In Soberano’s vlog on February 26, she reinvented herself and said she’s been pursuing what she really wanted for herself ever since. She left her home network, a talent agency, and a manager.
People had mixed reactions as some claimed that the actress seemed ungrateful to her home network while others supported her decision.
Netizens then compared the actress to Sandara Park who also left ABS-CBN to build her own career.
On Twitter, netizens praised Park for rebranding herself but did not burn bridges.

Dara never forgot where she started and the people behind it. She is now known worldwide pero never naging braggy or lumaki ang ulo. Humblest Kpop legend I know. https://t.co/osx83YneYh

Imagine garnering these votes when she's not even a Filipino & the country is not that tech savvy that time.
She is the "highest voted SCQ finalist"with almost 500k votes.
Dara didn't burn bridges because she knew how small their industry is. https://t.co/CFcPVtrclx
