Park Hyo-shin (Korean: 박효신; born September 1, 1981)[1] is a South Korean singer and musical theatre actor.[2][3] Following his debut as a singer in 1999, Park released numerous hit songs in the 2000s, including "Good Person" (2002), "Snow Flower" (2004) and "Memories Resemble Love" (2007).[4] In the 2010s, he achieved five number-one hits on the Circle Digital Chart, including 2014's "Wild Flower", which has sold 5 million copies, making it one of the best-selling singles in South Korea.[5]
Early life
Park Hyo-shin was born on September 1, 1981, in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea.[1][6] He discovered his love of singing as a child from singing trot music at his family's restaurant.[7] In high school, Park won prizes at several competitive singing festivals, including the grand prize at the Bucheon Youth Song Festival.[8]
Career
1999–2003: Debut and early success
After graduating high school, Park trained to be a singer for over a year.[9] In January 2000, he released his first album, Things I Can't Do For You (해줄 수 없는 일), which includes the lead single of the same name and the follow-up hit single "Fool" (바보).[10] The album sold more than 446,000 copies by the end of the year and garnered Park a win for Best New Artist at the 2000 Golden Disc Awards.[11][12] That year, Park made his musical theatre debut in the lead role of Rock Hamlet, which premiered in April 2000 at Seoul's Jangchung Gymnasium.[9]
In January 2001, Park released his second album, Second Story, and its lead single, "Far Away" (먼곳에서).[13]
He released his third album,Time Honored Voice, in September 2002.[14] The album's lead single, "Good Person" (좋은 사람), was number one for four weeks on South Korea's Music Box Chart.[15] For the song, Park won bonsang awards at a slew of year-end award shows, including the Golden Disc Awards and Seoul Music Awards.[16][17]
2004–2010: Drama soundtracks and 10th anniversary
The song that is said to have brought Park to fame was "Snow Flower", a song on the original soundtrack of the 2004 KBS drama, I'm Sorry, I Love You. The song is a cover of the Japanese single "Yuki no Hana" by Mika Nakashima.[18]
Park released his 5th full studio album in 2007. The title song for this album was "Memories resemble Love" and ranked top 3 in the music chart.
He not only participated in his album but was also a singer for many original soundtracks inserted in TV programs and movies. Park sang "Hwashin," or "Flower Letter", for the original soundtrack of the 2008 SBS period drama Iljimae.[19] In 2008, he also participated in Hwang Project as the lead vocal by releasing the song "The Castle of Zoltar," which was quite different from the music that he sang in early stage of his career.[citation needed]
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut, Park held a series of concerts, titled Park Hyo Shin's Gift from October 16 to 18, 2009 at the Olympic Fencing Gymnasium.[20] On May 23, 2009, Park participated in "Green Concert". At the same time, he also worked on his 6th studio album. On September 15, 2009, Park released his 6th album, Gift, Part 1. The song "After Love" made it to number one on the music charts.[21]
2011–present: Hiatus and comeback
Park served 21 months in Yongsan District as an entertainment soldier as part of conscription in South Korea. He finished his service in September 2012.[22]
After a four-year hiatus, Park released consecutive hit singles, all of which topped local music charts. "Wild Flower" was released in March 2014. The ballad single is about overcoming emotional turmoil through the metaphor of a resilient wildflower. It garnered the first place spot on the K-pop Hot 100, beating out Mr. Chu by Apink.[23] The song remained on the charts long after its release, still placing 70th in March 2016.[24] It was followed by "Happy Together" in November 2014. In April 2015, Park released the digital single "Shine Your Light".[25][26]
In 2014, Park played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the musical Mozart! at the Sejong Center.[25]
Park's 2008 contract with Jellyfish Entertainment expired in 2016.[citation needed] On August 24, 2016, Park signed with Glove Entertainment.[27] This move was, however, highly controversial, as Park later faced a fraud lawsuit after reportedly taking approximately 400 million KRW worth of gifts after promising to sign an exclusive contract with another company.[28][29]
Under Glove Entertainment, Park released a new album in October 2016, followed by a concert titled "I Am A Dreamer" from October 8–16, 2016.[30]
