Park Hyung Sik is a South Korean singer, dancer, actor, musical actor, producer and member of ZE:A (제국의 아이들). He graduated from Singal High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Acting Arts from Digital Seoul Culture and Arts University. He made his debut in January 2010 as the group's main vocalist and visual with their first single album, "Nativity". Originally named Child of Empire, Star Empire Entertainment (스타제국) decided to officially establish it as ZE:A. However, they faced immediate controversy as it was very similar to Brown Eyed Girls member JeA. Both agencies began negotiations and agreed that ZE:A's pronunciation will be changed to avoid any confusion. Afterwards, they enjoyed a lot of success and signed with Sony Music for promotional activities in 9 countries, mainly in Southeast Asia, where the group became incredibly popular in a short time. His contract with Star Empire expired in January 2017 and rumors began circulating about a possible disbandment. However, the agency and the members released separate statements indicating that the group was now officially on an indefinite hiatus but was not disbanding. He enlisted for his mandatory military service on June 10, 2019 and was discharged on January 4, 2021. After his release, he setup a new company called P&Studio (피앤드스튜디오) with some of his long-time managers as a subsidiary of his former agency, United Artists Agency. He is now focused on becoming an all-around entertainer as he appears in musicals, dramas and commercial modeling.
In "Solo Leveling," the narrative unfolds in a world where hunters, endowed with supernatural abilities, protect humanity by battling monsters emerging from mysterious gates. Central to the story is Sung Jin-woo, initially the weakest E-Rank hunter, who undergoes a transformative experience in a perilous double dungeon. This event grants him a unique ability to infinitely increase his power, setting him apart in a society where hunters' abilities are typically static. As Jin-woo's strength escalates, he delves into the mysteries of the dungeons and uncovers his destiny as the successor to the Shadow Monarch, granting him dominion over an army of shadows. The series intricately weaves various factions and characters into its plot. Hunters are organized into guilds, such as the White Tiger Guild and the Hunters Guild, which coordinate dungeon raids and ensure public safety. Beyond the human realm, two powerful entities—the Monarchs and the Rulers—are locked in an eternal conflict. The Monarchs, ancient beings created by the Absolute Being, aim to annihilate humanity, while the Rulers strive to protect it. Jin-woo's journey brings him into contact with these factions, leading to alliances and confrontations that shape the fate of the world.
