Park Chan-yeol (born November 27, 1992),[1] better known by the mononym Chanyeol, is a South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter and actor. He debuted in 2012 as a member of the South Korean-Chinese boy group EXO and its sub-unit EXO-K.

Early life

Park Chanyeol was born in Seoul, South Korea. He attended Hyundai High School in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul. He has a sister named Park Yoo-ra, who is currently an announcer at South Korean broadcasting station YTN,[2] and previously at MBC. Chanyeol was admitted to a private acting institution when he was sixteen years old, where he became good friends with Block B's P.O.[3]

After watching School of Rock in elementary school, Chanyeol became interested in music and he soon began playing the drums.[4] Chanyeol wanted to be a singer after listening to Unconditional Kismet by Yoo Young-jin.[5] When he was a first year student in middle school, he formed a band called "Heavy Noise" with his best friends and played with them for about three years.[6] During his first years of high school, he was involved in his school's band, "Siren".

Chanyeol has cited Jason Mraz and Eminem as his biggest influences, though he was a fan of rock bands like Muse, Green Day, Nirvana, and X-Japan in middle school.[7]

Chanyeol became a trainee under SM Entertainment after winning second place in the 2008 Smart Model Contest. While training under S.M., he began to turn his focus towards rapping. Prior to his debut, Chanyeol made cameo appearances in TVXQ's "HaHaHa Song" music video and Girls' Generation's "Genie" music video in 2008 and 2010 respectively.
