2NE1’s Sandara “Dara” Park and her brother Sang-hyu “Thunder” Park, a former member of boy group MBLAQ, are back in their second home — the Philippines.

The siblings shared their trip to Palawan on Instagram over the weekend. Both Sandara and Thunder grew up in the Philippines but while Sandara has visited multiple times since their family moved back to South Korea, Thunder hasn’t been back in 10 years.

Sandara and Thunder were born in Busan, South Korea but moved to the Philippines in 1995.

Sandara first became famous in the country after becoming first runner-up in the ABS-CBN talent show Star Circle Quest in 2004. She had starred in several local TV shows and films before she and her family moved back to South Korea in 2007.

Earlier this month, Sandara was a guest at BigBang member G-Dragon’s concert in Manila.
