During that time, she also became a judge in the ABS-CBN talent search &quot;Pinoy Boyband Superstar.&quot;</p><p>Sandara was instantly in tears at Minzy&#x27;s words, according to Soompi.</p><p>Sandara, like Minzy, has made no secret of her struggles during the &quot;dark&quot; years that followed 2NE1&#x27;s disbandment.</p><p>&quot;She was the mom in our group,&quot; Minzy said of Sandara, when the co-hosts mentioned that the latter was especially hands-on with Minzy&#x27;s guest appearance. &quot;She was always taking care of us and looking out for us.&quot;</p><p>A tearful Dara responded: &quot;I&#x27;m not the type of person who shows affection, so it&#x27;s only lately that I&#x27;ve expressed myself a lot. I do things like sending hearts in messages. When we were promoting, I feel like I wasn&#x27;t able to take care of you, our youngest member, a lot. I felt very sorry. It must have been so hard for you at such a young age. I regret that.&quot;</p>
