Chanyeol (Real name: Park Chanyeol) appeared once during high school in SNSD’s Japanese MV ‘Genie’, he’s born in 1992. Chanyeol, who liked music ever since elementary school, fell for drums when he watched the movie <School Of Rock>. Using this skill as his basis, he formed a band and performed. At 16 years old he entered an acting private institute and as he was preparing, he entered SM Entertainment during high school.
The members of the band he was playing with during high school have all
dispersed. Chanyeol said while smiling “During school, I was waiting
only for festivals or competitions but now that I receive applause and interest
each time I get on all these stages, I’m happy and enjoying it every
day”. Chanyeol added “My dream of becoming an idol was only in
my heart but I was able to challenge it as I sought for my opportunity”
and “I’m tall and my body isn’t flexible either so learning to dance was
the hardest of all the things’. His father who had once dreamt of
becoming a singer is now Chanyeol’s reliable supporter.
