BIO

In July 2012, Park wrote lyrics for the Bungee Jump (music by Will Aronson). For the second production of Bungee Jump in 2013, Park collaborated with Aronson on adapting the script.


He also adapted, translated, and wrote Korean lyrics for the musical Carmen, which opened at LG Art Center in December 2013. Park received the Best Music/Lyrics Award at Korea's 2013 Musical Awards for Bungee Jump. The musical was also named one of "the 2 Best Original Musicals of 2012" by The Musical magazine and was selected for re-production by the Korean Musical Association's original musical support program.

He went on to write the script and lyrics for The Schwarz Show: Christmas Radio within the omnibus musical I Hate Christmas in Project Box SEEYA.

In 2016, he translated and wrote Korean lyrics for The Bodyguard Musical, which also opened at LG Art Center.

In September 2015, Park and Aronson presented a try-out production of their new musical, Maybe Happy Ending, at Wooran Foundation. The musical had its official premiere in December 2016, produced by DaeMyoung Culture Factory. The show achieved remarkable success, winning six Korean Musical Awards, including accolades for Best Music, Lyrics, and Book. Additionally, the English-language version of Maybe Happy Ending received the 2017 Richard Rodgers Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Following its initial run, a new Korean production of the musical opened in 2018. In 2020, Maybe Happy Ending had its American premiere at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta before moving to Broadway. The production won Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score.

The musical Il Tenore is co-produced, composed, and arranged by Park and Will Aronson. It is inspired by the life of Lee In-seon, a doctor and tenor who holds a significant place in Korean opera history.
