Park Se-yoon (Korean: 박세윤; born October 16, 1989),[1] more commonly known as Crucial Star (Korean: 크루셜 스타), is a South Korean rapper and record producer.

Biography

Park Se-yoon was born on October 16, 1989 in Seoul, South Korea. His father is the painter Hang-Ryul Park.[4]

He made his musical debut at the age of seventeen in the hip hop group Libra Twins.[5] Several years later, he signed with independent hip hop label Soul Company, working under the name Crucial Star.[5] He and label mate Mad Clown collaborated on the digital album Mad Clown VS Crucial Star in 2010.[6] The following year, he released his first EP, A Star Goes Up, and his first full-length album, A Star From The Basement.[7][8]

Following the dissolution of Soul Company in 2012, Crucial Star moved to Grandline Entertainment.[5][9] While with Grandline, he released two mix tapes, Drawing #1: A Dream Spokesman (2012) and Drawing 2: A Better Man (2013), two albums, FALL (2012) and Midnight (2014), and one EP, Boyhood (2015).[10][11][12][13]

In 2015 he appeared as a contestant on Mnet television rap contest Show Me the Money 4. He was eliminated in the preliminary round after forgetting his lyrics.[14] In October 2015, Crucial Star's agency published a statement announcing that he and Unpretty Rapstar 2 contestant Heize were in a relationship.[15] A week after this announcement, it was reported that they had broken up several months prior.[16]

He left Grandline Entertainment in January 2016 when his contract ended.[17] In April, he signed with C-JeS Entertainment.[18]
