Sandara Park is beginning her first Project with her new label, ARADNAS. The new single 'rePRISM' will be released on June 20, 2026, with activities continuing through festivals, fan-concerts, and an Asia fan-concert tour. This marks the first instance where she directly prepares music and performances through the label she helped establish.

ARADNAS First Official Project 'rePRISM'

ARADNAS is a newly established label in which Sandara Park participated in the founding. The name is a reversed English spelling of 'Sandara,' closely linked to Sandara Park's personal brand. This single, 'rePRISM,' is the first official Project released by this label, with a release date of June 20.

According to the released description, 'rePRISM' is a track based on a band sound that highlights Sandara Park's high notes, falsetto, and clear vocal tone. Rather than focusing on music show appearances, the direction is set to prioritize performance-based activities. The new label will manage music release, concert ticketing, fan engagement, and overseas scheduling within a single streamlined process.

A Different Start Following the 2023 'FESTIVAL'

This activity is being compared to her 2023 solo EP 'SANDARA PARK.' At that time, Sandara Park released her first digital mini-album on July 12 and simultaneously released the title track 'FESTIVAL' music video. The official MV featured a bright amusement park set, group choreography, and appearances by Uhm Jung-hwa, Park So-hyun, Kim Sook, and Jo Se Ho. It was a work that brought back the familiar variety sense and the bright image of 2nd generation K-pop to the public.

'rePRISM' emphasizes live stages even before the song is released. While her 2023 solo return was closer to a greeting based on character and nostalgia, the 2026 first single is positioned as the starting point for activities leading into her voice and performances. For fans, the perfection of the stage along with the new song has become a major point of interest.

July 4 Fan-Con at YES24 LIVE HALL

The released fan-con guide image lists the schedule for July 4, 2026, at 6 PM at YES24 LIVE HALL in Seoul, with ticket opening on June 11 at 7 PM. This means the fan-con will be held approximately two weeks after the single release. Following the solo EP release on July 12, 2023, the 'rePRISM' release on June 20, 2026, and the Seoul fan-con on July 4, 2026, Sandara Park's solo activities will transition from music release to performance schedules.

A fan-con is a format for Sandara Park to meet her familiar fans closely. She has significant recognition not only in Korea but also in the Philippines, and through her activities with 2NE1, she has shared a long history with her Asian fandom. The fan-con is a format that mixes concerts and fan-meetings, incorporating songs, talk segments, and events.

Philippine Performance Excluded Due to Local Contract Reviews

Not all schedules were released at once. ARADNAS explained that the Philippine performance was omitted from this announcement due to local contract and business review issues. It was also mentioned that the Philippines is a special region for Sandara Park. When discussing Sandara Park's overseas fan base, the Philippines is a region that is difficult to overlook.

Following the release of 'rePRISM,' the focus will first be on how the band sound supports Sandara Park's voice and how her high notes and falsetto sound on live stages. Once the Seoul fan-con setlist for July 4 is revealed after the June 20 music release, the first activities of the new label ARADNAS will officially begin in front of the fans.
