He is currently based in South Korea as a member of 2PM, a six-member boy band managed by JYP Entertainment. He is mainly known for his work in 2PM and his role as Jason in the South Korean drama Dream High. In 2009, he began to study broadcasting at Howon University.
On 4 September 2008, Wooyoung debuted as part of 2PM in their first single "10 Points out of 10 Points" (Korean: "10점 만점에 10점") from their single album "Hottest Time of the Day". They have released six studio albums in Korea and four studio albums in Japan.
On May 24, 2012, it was revealed that Wooyoung would have released a solo album in early July. On June 28, he performed the title track "Sexy Lady" at the Mnet 20's Choice awards. His first solo mini-album 23, Male, Single was released on July 8 and included two self-composed songs by fellow 2PM members, Junho and Jun.K. In September 2012, Wooyoung, along with JY Park, Taecyeon and miss A's Suzy, promoted the clothing line Reebok's Classic Campaign with a collaboration song named "Classic". On June 9, 2014, Wooyoung released two duets: "Two Hands Clasped" with Park Se-young, and "Fireflies' Glow" with lel.
On March 4, 2015, he made his solo debut in Japan with the single R.O.S.E, preceded by a tour of concerts in Tokyo, Osaka, and Aichi in February. He released music videos for tracks "R.O.S.E" and "Happy Birthday", and, in April, the music video for the Korean version of "R.O.S.E". In 2017, he released two extended plays in Japan: Party Shots in April and Mada boku wa... in October.
Wooyoung, along with fellow 2PM member Taecyeon, hosted SBS's music show Inkigayo from July 2009 to July 2010. On February 2, 2010, he was named a sub-MC for Kim Seung-woo's KBS talk show Win Win alongside Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, Kim Shin-young, and Choi Hwa-jung. He received praise as a genius in the making for his natural MC style and quick wit. He left the show on August 3, along with Taeyeon, to focus on 2PM's first concert.
