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]

Biography

Jinyoung wanted to be an entertainer since childhood and appear on TV.[5] He started learning to dance, but he didn't take it seriously for the first three months, until his father reproached him.[5] After three months of intense practicing, he was able to dance,[5] and in 2009 he successfully auditioned for JYP Entertainment, winning first place at the open audition with JB.[6] At that time he only liked dancing, but, thinking seriously about his future, he realized that he loved music as a whole.[5]

He attended Gyeonggi High School and Howon University.[7][8]

In February 2020, it was reported that Park had donated an undisclosed amount of money to wild animals affected by fires in Australia.[9]
