Template:Contains Chinese text Template:Contains Korean text Park Chanyeol (born November 27, 1992), is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the South Korean- Chinese boy group EXO and its sub-group EXO-K. [2][3]
Early life
Park Chanyeol was born on November 27, 1992 in Seoul, South Korea, and attended Hyundai High School in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul. He has a sister named Park Yoora, who is an Announcer at MBC Broadcasting Station in South Korea. His parents own an Italian restaurant "Viva Polo" in Seoul.
Chanyeol was admitted to a private acting institution when he was sixteen years old, where he became good friends with Block B's P.O.[4] He is currently a student majoring in Culture and Art Management at Kyung Hee Cyber University alongside some of his fellow members of EXO: Suho, Baekhyun, and Kai.[5]
After he watched School of Rock during elementary school, he began to be interested in music. He started playing drums after he saw a hero who played drums in a movie. Since his father worked in music during his young days, he had easy access to many musical instruments during his youth. When he was a first grade student in middle school, he joined a band with his best friends and played with them for about three years. He was accepted as a trainee under SM Entertainment after coming second place in the 2008 Smart Model Contest. When he first got into SM entertainment, he expected band activity like Trax, but was disappointed upon realizing the difficulty in promoting as a band. After he listened to various music during training, he began to focus on rapping.
During the two-day EXO'luXion concerts in Manila on January 23–24, 2016, he revealed that he stayed in the Philippines in 2007 to study English, which is a very popular destination choice for Koreans wanting to learn the language.[6]
Career
EXO
Chanyeol was accepted into S.M. Entertainment in his first year of high school after winning second place in the 2008 Smart Model Contest. During this time, he was involved in his school's band, "Siren". He made several media appearances prior to his debut with EXO, including TVXQ's music video "HaHaHa Song" in 2008. In 2010, he starred in the music video of Girls' Generation's Japanese single "Genie". He was featured in TaeTiSeo's "Twinkle" music video in 2012. Chanyeol had been trained for four years before making his debut in EXO on 8 April 2012.
Chanyeol was the last member of EXO to be formally introduced to the public, on February 23, 2012. He cites Jason Mraz and Eminem as his biggest influences, though he was a fan of rock bands like Muse, Green Day, Nirvana, and X-Japan in middle school.[7]
On 15 December 2015 Chanyeol and his fellow EXO members Chen and Kai were spotted volunteering for those in need, by delivering coal briquettes for them.[8]
Solo activities
Chanyeol guest starred in an episode the 2013 sitcom Royal Villa.[9][10] Chanyeol was a member of SBS's Law of the Jungle in Micronesia[11] and the first season of Roommate, but left in September because of scheduling conflicts.[12] He made his big screen debut in the 2015 film Salut d'Amour along with Moon Ga-young, who has the lead role in the web-drama EXO Next Door.[13] He was also featured in the 2015 show Dating Alone.
On May 15, 2015, Chanyeol, along with fellow members Baekhyun and Chen, and other artists such as Girl's Day, Sistar, Niel, and Ailee, sung KBS1's Special Program 'I Am Korea' theme song, "The Day We Met", for Gwangbok 70th Anniversary.[14]
During his filming in Brunei Darussalam, he made a solo song to honour his visit in Brunei and it became the OST of The Law of The Jungle - Hidden Kingdom Special in Brunei. The title of the song is "Last Hunter", which can be found on Chanyeol's SoundCloud page.
Songwriting
Chanyeol is active in composing music and writing lyrics. He wrote the rap for the EXO-K version of "Run" from their Overdose EP and has also composed music together with fellow EXO-M member Lay. This led to the creation of EXO's song "Promise (EXO 2014)" from the new repackaged version of EXO’s second full-length album "EXODUS", which is a ballad with music composed by Lay and lyrics written by Chanyeol and Chen.[15]
