He made his breakthrough in 2016 with his performance in Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet as Song Mong-gyu, a cousin of the poet Yun Dong-ju who was known for his resistance writings during the Japanese occupation of Korea.[4] His portrayal garnered him Best New Actor awards at the 52nd Baeksang Arts Awards, the 37th Blue Dragon Film Awards, the 36th Golden Cinema Festival, the Korea Film Actors Association Awards, the 16th Director's Cut Awards, and a Best Supporting Actor award at the 22nd Chunsa Film Art Awards.

In 2018, he starred in the comedy-drama film Keys to the Heart as a gifted pianist with savant syndrome.[6] The same year, Park appeared in the superhero film Psychokinesis[7] and headlined Lee Joon-ik's drama film Sunset in My Hometown in which he plays a rapper.[8] With the help of professional rappers, Park practiced rapping for a year, and wrote lyrics for the songs that appeared in the film.[9]

In 2019, Park starred in mystery thriller Svaha: The Sixth Finger[10] followed by lead roles in the crime drama film Tazza: One Eyed Jack[11] and the webtoon-based comedy film Start-Up.[12]

Later that year, Park acted alongside Hwang Jung-min and Lee Jung-jae in the action film Deliver Us from Evil as Yui, a transgender woman who wishes to undergo sex reassignment surgery but cannot afford to do so.[14] The film became the second highest-grossing South Korean film of 2020.[15] For his portrayal, Park won Best Supporting Actor at the 41st Blue Dragon Film Awards, Best Supporting Actor (Film) at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards, Best Supporting Actor at the 40th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards, and Best Supporting Actor at the 26th Chunsa Film Art Awards.[16][17][18] Park also wrote and directed a music video for RECONNECT as part of a special project in celebration of ELLE Korea's 28th anniversary.

Other ventures

In 2014, Park became a writer of a monthly column for Topclass magazine and established a following of devoted readers. His column is called “Eonhee,” which means “to make others happy through words.”[2]

Known for his humorous and self-deprecating writing style, Park published his own book of essays in 2016, titled A Useful Person.[2] The book became a best-seller and had its 12th round of printing as of 2019.[19]
