Park Jin-young (Hangul: 박진영; Hanja: 朴珍榮; born September 22, 1994), better known by the mononym Jinyoung, is a South Korean singer, songwriter and actor. He is a member of the duo JJ Project and the group Got7, both of which are under JYP Entertainment. Park made his acting debut in the Dream High 2 (2012) followed by supporting roles in When a Man Falls in Love (2013) and Beloved Eun-dong (2015). He made his film debut in the independent film A Stray Goat (2016).
Originally Jinyoung debuted under the stage name Jr. since he shares his real name with JYP Entertainment's founder. On May 5, 2015, he changed it to Junior due to the confusion of fans and media about the correct pronunciation and as of August 16, 2016, it was made official that he would simply go by his given name, Park Jinyoung.
In 2011, Jinyoung was cast in the role of Jung Ui-bong in the television drama Dream High 2. The drama began airing on January 30, 2012 on KBS. On February 29, Park released the song "We Are The B" for the drama's soundtrack, along with Jinwoon, Kang So-ra and Kim Ji-soo.
In May 2012, Jinyoung and fellow trainee JB debuted as the duo JJ Project with the single album JJ Project Slot Machine. Their official music video for title track "Bounce" was released on May 19, and the duo began promotions for "Bounce" on M! Countdown on May 24.
On March 11, 2013, it was announced that Jinyoung would be appearing as Ddol-yi on MBC's new drama When a Man Falls in Love. His bandmate JB also had a role in the drama, which aired for twenty episodes beginning April 3. On December 24, 2013, the two members of JJ Project debuted as part of a 7-member boy band called Got7. The group dropped their first EP Got It? on January 20, 2014 with successful charting and sales. Park also made the choreography for one of the singles, Follow Me.
