Sandara Park signs distribution deal with KT Genie Music

Singer Sandara Park of the former girl group 2NE1 signed a distribution and concert deal with KT Genie Music ahead of her Asia fan concert tour. 

Announced Wednesday, the agreement pairs the K-pop veteran with the KT-owned music firm, which recently went independent under her own label, Aradnas. 

Park released her first single "rePrism" on June 20 under her new agency Aradnas.

The singer's upcoming fan concert tour will kick off in Seoul on Saturday at the Yes24 Live Hall in eastern Seoul. She will be continuing the tour in Macau on Aug. 1, followed by performances in Tokyo, Bangkok and Hong Kong, with more locations expected to be added in the future. 

The fan concert will have Park performing new songs with a live band and get an opportunity to communicate with her fans. 

Her fan concert in Tokyo will be a "special stage" according to KT Genie Music. 

"Notably, the fan concert set to be held in Tokyo, Japan is will not be any old overseas fan meet and greet, but a special stage where Sandara Park will share her new musical direction with her fans for the first time," it said. 

Park debuted in 2004 on a Philippine talent program and signed with YG Entertainment. She came to Korea, where she debuted with four-member girl group 2NE1 in 2009. 2NE1 wrapped up its 15th anniversary ″Welcome Back″ world tour in April 2025, and Park is continuing her solo career. She announced Monday that she had signed with her self-established label, Aradnas — her name spelled backward.
