Due to his shared name with his agency's founder, Park originally debuted with the stage name Jr.,[1] but he later changed the spelling to Junior due to widespread confusion about the correct pronunciation of his name.[3] On August 16, 2016, Park announced that he would simply go by his given name.[4]
