Korea Jinyoung Park has built a distinguished career spanning music and acting, transitioning from a prominent K-pop idol to an acclaimed actor.
Jinyoung (GOT7) signed an exclusive contract with BH Entertainment, an agency that manages prominent South Korean actors like Lee Byung Hun, Park Bo Young, and Kim Go Eun. This move solidified his focus on his acting career after leaving JYP Entertainment.
Jinyoung endorsed the brand Dentiste. International fans could support this partnership by purchasing products through Olive Young, a popular health and beauty store in South Korea.
Jinyoung wore a brown linen suit from the Italian luxury brand Brunello Cucinelli for an event, where he also met the brand's founder and co-creative director.
Jinyoung collaborated with the British luxury fragrance brand Molton Brown for a 'W Beauty' feature, aligning with his new role as Lee Hosu in 'Our Unwritten Seoul'.
Jinyoung Park, born on September 22, 1994, in Changwon, South Korea, embarked on his career in the entertainment industry as a trainee at JYP Entertainment in 2009. His initial foray into acting occurred in January 2012 with a role in the KBS drama “Dream High 2.” This debut laid the groundwork for his future in both music and acting. In May 2012, he joined Jay B to form the special project group JJ PROJECT, releasing their first EP, “Bounce.” He initially used the stage name Jr. or Junior during this period.
In January 2014, Jinyoung debuted as a sub-vocalist, visual, center, and face of the K-pop group GOT7 with their EP “Got It?”. The group quickly gained recognition for their live performances, which incorporated martial arts tricking and street dancing. GOT7 expanded their presence into Japan, Southeast Asia, and the United States. In August 2016, Jinyoung began using his real name, Park Jinyoung, to avoid confusion. His acting career continued to develop alongside his music, with notable roles in TV series and films. He earned the Best New Actor Award at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards in 2023 for his performance in “A Christmas Carol.”
In January 2021, Jinyoung signed an exclusive contract with BH Entertainment, a move that solidified his commitment to acting following his departure from JYP Entertainment. He made his solo music debut in January 2023 with the mini-album “Chapter 0: With.” Jinyoung enlisted for mandatory military service on May 8, 2023, and was discharged on November 7, 2024. Despite changes in individual agency representation, GOT7 continues to collaborate, with JYP Entertainment allowing them to retain the group’s name and Kakao Entertainment handling music distribution. The group reunited for fan events in 2022 and released the album “Winter Heptagon” in January 2025.
