MANILA -- A photo of Canadian superstar Justin Bieber kissing former ABS-CBN actress Sandara Park is making the rounds online, stirring buzz among the fans of the K-pop talent.
The photo, which has gone viral on social networking sites and various K-pop boards, shows the 19-year-old heartthrob singer kissing Park on her cheek as she smiles facing the camera.
Also in the photo is Korean-American jeweler Ben Baller, who originally uploaded the image on micro-blogging site Weibo. Its caption read: "Last night in the VIP room with Justin & Dara."
The photo was reportedly taken during a party held Thursday launching Korean-American singer Jay Park's new record label, "AOMG." Several K-pop stars were reported to be in attendance at the high-profile event.
Sandara Park, who rose to fame in 2004 as a runner-up on ABS-CBN's "Star Circle Quest," is one-fourth of the popular Korean girl group 2NE1.
Bieber was in South Korea for his "Believe" concert series, which kicked off in September last year. Seoul was one of the nine Asian stops of the touring production, which has 27 more shows scheduled until December.
