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.
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]
