Early Life and Education

Park Sun-young was born on May 30, 1989, in Busan, South Korea.

Growing up as an only child under the care of her devoted parents, Mr and Mrs Park, she moved to Seoul during her youth, where she quickly gained popularity as an internet ulzzang and commercial model, even winning the MiMi Princess modelling contest at a young age.

Her academic path was closely tied to her creative aspirations, leading her to enrol at Sungkyunkwan University, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting. She belongs to the Korean ethnic group and was raised following the Christian faith.

Career

Hyomin began her artistic journey as a trainee at JYP Entertainment before joining MBK Entertainment, making early pre-debut appearances in music videos for popular labelmates such as SG Wannabe.

Her massive breakthrough came in July 2009, when she officially debuted with T-ara. This group quickly became a household name across Asia with incredibly catchy tracks like “Bo Peep Bo Peep,” “Roly-Poly,” and “Lovey-Dovey.”

Her natural comedic timing and charm quickly made her a favourite on reality television, notably as a regular cast member on the hit variety show Invincible Youth.

She proved her capabilities as an actress shortly after by landing celebrated roles in the romantic comedy series My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho and the historical drama Gyebaek, the latter of which earned her a prestigious Best New Actress award.

Hyomin expanded her creative horizons even further by taking on the role of style director for T-ara’s sub-unit, T-ara N4, which led to collaborations with celebrity fashion brands and the launch of her own apparel lines.

In 2014, she took a bold step as a solo musical artist with her debut mini-album Make Up, showcasing a mature, sensual image that she followed up with successful records such as Sketch and Allure.

She also brought her acting skills to international screens, starring in the Japanese romance film Jinx and continuing to take on lead roles on television.

Balancing her long-standing musical identity with her ventures as a brand founder and actress, she has built a lasting legacy as a true trendsetter and powerhouse entertainer in the global Hallyu wave.
