2008 - 2014: Early Music Aspirations

Park initially wanted to debut as a Korean idol, and successfully passed the audition at Starship Entertainment in 2008 to become a trainee. He trained at the agency for six years before leaving the company in early 2014 after having failed to debut with both Boyfriend in 2011 and later Monsta X in 2015.[2] During his time at Starship, he appeared in both Sistar19's "Ma Boy" and Sistar's "Give It to Me" music videos in 2011 and 2013, respectively.[3]

2014 - 2018: Career Change to Acting & Debut as a Singer

After leaving Starship, Park decided to pursue an acting career. After signing with SidusHQ in mid 2014, Park made his acting debut in the drama Golden Rainbow, playing the role of Kim Young-won / Michinski Forever in the 34th episode of the series.[4]

A rising new actor, he was later cast in major roles in Love Cells (2014), Start Again (2016) and I'm Sorry, But I Love You (2016).[5][6]

Park also made his debut as a singer in 2014 with the song "After Love" (Ballad Ver.), which was included in the second soundtrack album for Love Cells.[1]

He received an offer to participate on the second season of Produce 101 in 2017, but was unable to accept due filming another project at the time.[7]
