During Park's sophomore year of high school he sent a video of himself singing and playing the piano to prominent talent management agencies which led to several offers.[5] Park, who initially wanted to be a singer-songwriter, later changed his career path after a suggestion that he would do well acting.[6][7] He graduated from Shinmok High School in 2012, and enrolled at Myongji University as a Musical Theater undergraduate in March 2014.[8][9] Despite his acting career, he maintained an active collegiate life and represented his university's cultural overseas exchange program in Europe.[10] Park has also directed a one-act play based on Anton Chekov's works,[11] and served as music director in his graduating class's production of Hairspray.[12] He received his baccalaureate in February 2018.[13]
