Park Wan-kyu (Hangul: 박완규; born December 1, 1973) is a South Korean singer. He was a lead vocalist of the band Boohwal, and left them to release his first solo album, with the title track that became his signature song, "Thousand Years of Love" in 1999. He has recorded many soundtracks for Korean dramas, and had his first substantial acting role in one in 2013.
In 1997, as Boohwal's vocalist he recorded their 5th album, Discovery of Fire with them, singing their title song "Lonely Night," and reunited with them in 2011 for their collaboration project with the song "Secret." When discussing Boohwal's several vocalists, the band's leader Kim Tae-won said he sang with an authentic soulfulness which made his vocals both sad and beautiful.
He appeared as a contestant on I Am a Singer and in the concert special "Survival - I am a Singer" at the Expo 2012 in Yeosu.
He has performed a number of OSTs for K-dramas, including "Always" for Goddess of Marriage in 2013, in which he also acted, playing the part of a legendary rocker on hiatus in the citrus plantations of Jejudo, living as his own boss as a free spirit, with his wife. Others include 2014's "Wind Breeze" for Empress Ki, and a rock ballad "Stop Time" in April 2016 for Jackpot.
In September 2011, in an appearance on tvN's show Love Song he talked about his divorce, and expressed an apology to his ex-wife and children.
