About Jinyoung (entertainer, born 1994)
Park Jin-young (Korean: 박진영; born September 22, 1994), known mononymously as Jinyoung, and formerly as Jr. and Junior, is a South Korean singer, actor, and songwriter. He is a member of the South Korean boy band Got7 and duo JJ Project. As an actor, he gained recognition for his roles in the television series The Devil Judge (2021), Yumi's Cells (2021–2022), and Our Unwritten Seoul (2025), for which he received a Best Actor nomination at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards. He has also starred in the films Christmas Carol (2022) and Hi-Five (2025). He won the Best New Actor award at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards for Christmas Carol and received a Best New Actor nomination at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards for Hi-Five. He is known for building his characters' emotions drawing from his personal experience rather than maximizing specific emotions or highlighting dramatic moments, and for conveying sorrow through a silent demeanor and deep, teary eyes. == Early life and education == Park is a native of Udo Island in Jinhae District, Changwon, where his grandparents reside, but grew up in Yongwon-dong, Jinhae District. He had childhood ambitions to be an entertainer and appear on TV since his fifth year of primary school. His mother was against it and, when Park was attending his sixth year, she sent him to an audition for SM Entertainment, agreeing that, if he failed, he would give up; however, he made it to the third and final preliminary round and won the popularity award.
