Park Eun-bin

Career

1996–2017: Debut as a child actress and transition to lead roles

Park Eun-bin debuted as a child model in 1996, and since starting acting at the age of five, has starred in numerous television series, playing the younger version of various characters. She received the Best Young Actress award in 2009 for her role in the drama The Iron Empress.

She landed her first leading role in the time-traveling romance Operation Proposal (2012). Park continued playing supporting roles until she gained recognition for her role in the youth ensemble cast series about a group of young women in their early 20s, Hello, My Twenties! in 2016 and its sequel in 2017. She was cast in the legal drama Judge vs. Judge, followed by horror thriller The Ghost Detective in 2018.

2019–present: Career rise and breakthrough

Park then starred in the hit sports drama Hot Stove League (2019–2020) alongside Namkoong Min, in which she played the operations manager of a floundering baseball team. The series, which premiered to a 3% viewership rating, went on to achieve a peak rating of 19.1%. and won Best Drama at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards. Park was cast as an aspiring violinist in the musical romance drama Do You Like Brahms?. Despite having some experience playing the violin, Park spent three months practising the instrument to prepare for the role. Her performance garnered her the Top Excellence Actress Award at the 2020 SBS Drama Awards.

In 2021, Park played the role of Crown Prince Yi Hwi in the historical series The King's Affection. For her portrayal of the cross-dressing heroine, Park received the Top Excellence Actress Award at the 2021 KBS Drama Awards and a Best Actress nomination at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards. Park also won the Best Actor Award at the 49th Korean Broadcasting Awards for her role. The drama was also awarded Best Telenovela at the 50th International Emmy Awards.

In 2022, Park starred in Park Hoon-jung's action-horror film The Witch: Part 2. The Other One, the sequel to the 2018 film The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion.

In the same year, she starred in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, playing the titular role of Woo Young-woo, a lawyer who is an autistic savant. It was later revealed that the production team waited over a year for Park to take part in the drama, after she reportedly declined the role because she "felt like the series wasn't something that [she] should approach lightly". Nonetheless, this performance earned her acclaim from both critics and audiences. The drama, which aired on the new channel ENA, started with an audience rating of 0.9% and finished with 17.5% in Korea. The drama was a global success, ranking in the top 10 most watched non-English TV series on Netflix for 21 weeks. Park's compelling performance earned her international recognition, winning the Best Actor Award at the Asia Contents Awards and the Rising Star Award for TV at the Critics' Choice Awards' Asian Pacific Cinema & Television division. At the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards, Park was awarded the Grand Prize in Television.

On January 4, 2024, Park released a digital single album Present ahead of her fan concert Eunbin Note: Diva, which would be held on January 6 and 7. On March 28, she released a new single "Kung Ddari Sha Bah Rah", which is a remake of music duo Clon's debut song. On September 8, Park released a digital single album To You, which was revealed during her second fan concert Eunbin Note: Bingo-on held on September 7. On November 1, she was cast in the Netflix superpower comedy series The Wonderfools alongside Cha Eun-woo.

In 2025, Park starred as Jeong Se-ok in the drama Hyper Knife, portraying a brilliant neurosurgeon who turns to illegal operations after losing her medical license. The series, directed by Kim Jung-hyun and written by Kim Sun-hee, explores her complex relationship with her former mentor, played by Sul Kyung-gu. On September 6, Park held her third fan concert Eunbin Note: Hyper Day, before releasing the digital single album Piece by Piece on the following day. On December 14, she released a special single "A Melody in Snow".
