BiographyEdit

Park is a native of Udo Island, Jinhae-gu, Changwon.[5][6][7] He had childhood ambitions to be an entertainer and appear on TV since his fifth year of primary school.[8][9] His mother was against it and, when Park was attending his sixth year,[10] she sent him to an audition for SM Entertainment, agreeing that, if he failed, he would give up;[9] however, he made it to the third and final preliminary round and won the popularity award.[9] As the family's opposition diminished,[9] the same year he started taking dance classes at Busan Dance School in Seomyeon,[11][12] although he didn't take it seriously for the first three months until his father reproached him.[8] After three months of intense practice, he was able to dance,[8] and in 2009 he successfully auditioned for JYP Entertainment, winning first place at the open audition with Jay B over 10,000 applicants.[9][13] At that time he only liked dancing, but, thinking seriously about his future, he realized that he loved music as a whole.[8][14]
