Park Jeongwoo

Park Jeongwoo was born on September 28, 2004, in Iksan, North Jeolla Province, South Korea. He entered YG Entertainment while still very young and spent much of his teenage life training, filming content and eventually promoting as a member of TREASURE.

• Jeongwoo auditioned for YG Entertainment with So Junghwan, who would eventually become his TREASURE bandmate. The two attended the same vocal academy and pursued the opportunity together, making their eventual debut in the same group an especially unusual coincidence.

• Jeongwoo had only trained for a very short time before appearing on YG Treasure Box. Unlike contestants who had spent several years preparing inside YG, he entered the competition with relatively little formal trainee experience and had to develop quickly in front of cameras.

• His voice became his biggest advantage almost immediately. Jeongwoo's strong projection and naturally soulful vocal color helped him stand out even when he was competing against older and more experienced trainees.

• One of Jeongwoo's most memorable YG Treasure Box performances was his cover of Adele's "When We Were Young." The performance helped demonstrate that his strength wasn't simply hitting powerful notes—he could also communicate the emotional weight of a song despite being extremely young.

• Jeongwoo was selected for TREASURE's original seven-member lineup, meaning his vocals earned him a place in the first group announced following YG Treasure Box rather than the later MAGNUM lineup.

• He entered YG on the same day as Junghwan. Their shared journey—from vocal academy students, to auditioning together, to becoming YG trainees and eventually members of TREASURE—has made their friendship one of the group's longest-running relationships.

• Jeongwoo later attended the School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA) while balancing his education with TREASURE's increasingly demanding schedule. Like many idols who debut as teenagers, much of his high-school experience happened alongside rehearsals, recordings and promotions.

• He graduated from SOPA in February 2023, marking the end of a period in which he had simultaneously been a student and an internationally active idol.

• Jeongwoo's voice noticeably deepened and matured after TREASURE's debut. Because fans first encountered him during adolescence on YG Treasure Box, his development from a talented young vocalist into a more controlled adult singer can be heard across the group's releases and live performances.

• He is particularly praised for his live vocals. Jeongwoo's ability to project over concert instrumentation and maintain powerful notes has made live performances one of the best settings for demonstrating why he was selected for TREASURE despite his short initial training period.

• His emotional singing style contrasts dramatically with his personality offstage. Jeongwoo can appear intensely serious during ballads, only to become one of the loudest and most chaotic members once TREASURE returns to variety content.

• Jeongwoo is known for having an expressive face and big reactions. Whether he's shocked, excited, embarrassed or losing a game, he rarely hides what he's feeling, which makes him particularly entertaining in TREASURE MAP and other unscripted videos.

• He enjoys listening to music even when he isn't working, and singing remains one of his primary interests rather than simply something he does as a profession. His early decision to attend a vocal academy reflects how central music was to him before becoming a trainee.

• Jeongwoo has cited artists with strong vocal identities as musical inspirations, reflecting his own interest in becoming known primarily for his singing ability rather than adopting a rapper or producer-focused role within TREASURE.

• He has a close friendship with fellow 2004-born member Haruto. The two went through their teenage years together as trainees and idols, and their contrasting personalities frequently create entertaining moments in TREASURE's content.

• Jeongwoo is also particularly close to Junghwan because their friendship predates TREASURE. Their relationship isn't simply the result of being assigned to the same group—they knew each other before either of them entered YG.

• He has participated in TREASURE's acting projects, including the web drama The Mysterious Class. The project required the members to portray fictional students in a supernatural mystery rather than appearing as themselves.

• Jeongwoo's athletic and competitive side becomes obvious during TREASURE's games and sports content. Like Jihoon, he tends to become genuinely invested in competitions, which often amplifies his already expressive personality.

• He is frequently associated with a wolf emoji among fans. TREASURE's members have developed animal symbols and character associations that fans use when referring to individual members, and the wolf has become closely connected with Jeongwoo.

• Jeongwoo was only 15 years old when TREASURE officially debuted in August 2020. That means much of the vocal development fans have witnessed has taken place publicly as he moved from adolescence into adulthood.

• His position in TREASURE demonstrates how quickly his singing impressed YG's producers. He went from attending a vocal academy and auditioning for the company to competing on YG Treasure Box after only a short training period, yet still managed to secure a place in the debut lineup.

• Jeongwoo has grown from being the inexperienced teenager with the surprisingly huge voice into one of TREASURE's most dependable vocalists. His career so far is less about changing artistic identities and more about continually refining the natural vocal ability that originally got him noticed.
