Career
2007–2017: Beginnings
Park Ji-hoon debuted as a child actor, participating in musicals Peter Pan (2007–2009) and Radio Star (2010), television dramas The King and I (2007–2008), Kimchi Cheese Smile (2007–2008), and more.[2] However, Ji-hoon had previously appeared in SS501's reality show SS501 SOS (2006) prior to his official debut.[3] During his childhood, he continued to be active in musical theatre, television broadcasts and film, as well as working as an advertisement model.[4]
Less active in the entertainment industry in his teen years, Ji-hoon began training to become an idol singer under SM Entertainment and Fantagio, before transferring to his current agency, Maroo Entertainment.[5]
2017–present: Produce 101
In 2017, Ji-hoon participated in the second season of Produce 101. He experienced a sudden rise in popularity after going viral as "wink boy (ko: 윙크남)" after the introductory "It's Me (Pick Me)" stage on M! Countdown before the show had even started.[6] Consequently, Ji-hoon's participation in the survival show received extensive media attention, to the extent that his self-made aegyo catchphrase "save you in my heart (ko: 내 마음 속에 저장)" became famous on social media and various broadcast platforms, leading to companies, such as Banila Co., Coca-Cola, Banana Milk, Melon and KT Corporation, using the phrase for marketing purposes.[7] Furthermore, Ji-hoon started receiving offers from companies to become their advertisement model while the show was still being aired as everything either worn or used by him became sold-out.[8][9] It was later revealed that Ji-hoon had signed an exclusive contract with Maroo Entertainment before the show had even started.[10][11]
Having finished second in the survival show, he is set to debut in Wanna One (ko: 워너원) with 10 other members.[12]
