Who is Park Jin-young?
Park Jin-young is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and actor. Also known as Jinyoung, he is a dancer and a choreographer as well. A member of the popular K-pop boy group Got7 and JJ Project, he shares his name with the founder of his agency, Jin-young. To avoid confusion, he originally performed with the stage name ‘Jr’, and later changed the spelling to ‘Junior’ as his fans were confused over the right pronunciation of his name. Eventually in 2016, he announced that he would use his own given name, Park Jin-young, as he has matured and no longer a junior singer. JYP Entertainment had discovered him when he had auditioned at the JYP Trainee Open Recruitment Audition. After a training period of more than two years, he first debuted as a member of JJ Project with his partner JB. First as a member of JJ Project, and then as a member of Got7, Park has released a number of albums and singles and many of them have been successful on different charts. The main vocalist of Got7, Park showed his fans that he could rap well too when he did group member Mark’s part in the track ‘Never Ever’. He made his acting debut in the South Korean television drama ‘Dream High 2’, followed by some supporting roles. He then made his film debut in ‘A Stray Goat’ and was nominated for an award for the film.
