He debuted as a dancer and rapper in Shinhwa in 1998 but started singing small parts in 2002; the release of Shinhwa’s 5th album. However, he is advancing in his own singing career with the release of his solo single album on 18 Novemeber 2006. Besides singing, he has also acted in several dramas and sitcoms. He is the son of singer Charlie Park (찰리박), also called Park Young Chul (박영철), who debuted with a solo album ‘ Casanova Sarang’ in 2004. His birth mother left the family when he was young and he has ever since lived with a kind stepmother who sincerely took care of him as if JunJin was her own son and has even helped him locate his own mother after many years.

Jun Jin released a solo single in November of 2006 titled 사랑이 오지 않아요 (translated to Love Doesn’t Come), with a total of five songs, including the title song and its instrumental. Surprisingly, he decided to release a ballad even though he is known for his strong dance skills. However, this is due to the fact that ballads are popular in Korea right now; dance artists such as Baek Ji Young and even Jun Jin’s own group Shinhwa have released atypical (for them) ballads for their lead singles.
