Meet Seokjoon of 82MAJOR: learn about the Korean rapper and songwriter, including his age, weight, background, love of bowling, songwriting style, personality, hobbies and fun facts.
Park Seokjoon (박석준), known professionally as Seokjoon (석준), is a South Korean rapper, songwriter and member of the K-pop boy group 82MAJOR. He was born on December 15, 2004, and is originally from Pohang, South Korea. Before 82MAJOR's official debut, Seokjoon was introduced through the group's pre-debut activities and shared self-written music online through platforms including SoundCloud and YouTube. He officially debuted with 82MAJOR on October 11, 2023, with the single album ON, featuring the double title tracks "Sure Thing" and "First Class.”
Songwriting is an important part of Seokjoon's identity as an artist. He tends to write intuitively rather than overplanning his lyrics and has said that his ideas often come most naturally late at night in a dark room. Although 82MAJOR's music is rooted heavily in hip-hop, Seokjoon is interested in experimenting with different sounds and has expressed particular interest in Afrobeats and Latin pop. Offstage, he describes himself as relatively calm and not easily nervous, while his personal style follows a "Simple is Best" philosophy — usually keeping things clean while adding something unexpected or distinctive.
Fan-made pieces inspired by drama nights, bias feelings, and soft delulu moods.
Seokjoon's full name is Park Seokjoon (박석준), and he was born on December 15, 2004.
Seokjoon is naturally left-handed.
He loves bowling and isn't just a casual player. Seokjoon says he has come close to bowling a perfect game and believes his skills would rank pretty highly among K-pop idols.
He also enjoys playing video games and considers himself pretty good at them.
Seokjoon can do impressions of Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants and Marvel's Venom. Even better, the impressions were apparently approved by the other 82MAJOR members after they held their own evaluation session in the practice room.
He is normally a heavy sleeper, and the members have joked that Seokjoon sometimes has so much trouble waking up that he doesn't even hear his alarm.
Seokjoon says he gets nosebleeds easily.
Food is rarely a hard sell for him. According to Seokjoon, there is basically never a time when he isn't in the mood to eat.
Although he can become completely absorbed in whatever interests him, he sometimes hates feeling like he's wasting time. At the same time, he says he needs periods where he can simply zone out.
Seokjoon says that he values his relationships with other people.
He considers himself fairly calm and says he doesn't get nervous easily, but he still takes two or three deep breaths before going onstage to settle his nerves.
His songwriting ideas tend to come naturally rather than through intense planning, and he says he writes best late at night in a dark room.
His personal philosophy when it comes to style is "Simple is Best," but he doesn't want to be predictable. He likes adding one distinctive element that other people might not expect.
Seokjoon has listened to Afrobeats and Latin pop for inspiration and has said he would like to create music influenced by those genres. More recently, he specifically named Afrobeats as a style he wants 82MAJOR to try.
Performing his own music in concert is especially meaningful to Seokjoon. Before debut, he uploaded self-written songs to YouTube and SoundCloud, but he has said that performing those songs live and seeing fans respond to them made the experience feel completely different.
