Early life
Park Hye-soo was born in Seoul, South Korea. She studied Korean Literature at Ewha Womans University before deciding to pursue a career in the arts. During her school years, she showed a natural talent for music and demonstrated strong language skills, particularly in Mandarin. Her appearance on K-pop Star 4 became the turning point that introduced her to the entertainment world and paved the way for her future as both an actress and a singer.
Career
Park Hye-soo began her career in 2014 when she appeared as a contestant on the SBS talent competition K-pop Star 4. Following the show, she signed with Studio Santa Claus Entertainment and made her transition into acting.
In 2015, she landed a supporting role in the SBS medical drama Yong-pal. The following year, Park took on her first leading role in the JTBC coming-of-age series Hello, My Twenties! (also known internationally as Age of Youth), which significantly raised her profile on television. That same year, she made her feature film debut in the fantasy melodrama Will You Be There?. In 2017, she appeared in SBS’s historical drama Saimdang, Memoir of Colors and starred in the tvN romantic comedy Introverted Boss.
Between 2018 and 2020, Park shifted her focus to film, appearing in the musical drama Swing Kids (2018) and the workplace comedy Samjin Company English Class (2020). During this period, she also became active in fashion photoshoots and endorsements for various consumer brands in South Korea.
In 2021, she was cast as the female lead in the KBS2 drama Dear.M.

After nearly two years on hiatus, Park released her first solo single in October 2023.
