Who Is Woojin?
Park Woo-jin, known mononymously as Woojin, is a South Korean entertainer born on November 2, 1999, in Busan. He first entered the public eye as a contestant on Mnetโs Produce 101 Season 2 in 2017, where he placed sixth and earned a spot in the project group Wanna One. After Wanna One disbanded in early 2019, Woojin debuted with AB6IX under Brand New Music on May 22, 2019. Within AB6IX, he is officially described as the main rapper and main dancer, and he also contributes as a vocalist.
Woojin is notable not only for his group work but also for his solo output. He released his first mini-album, oWn, on February 27, 2023, with the title track โTop Tier.โ In June 2026, he signed an exclusive contract with PARA MUSIC, and in October 2026 he released his second EP, SOLSTICE. As of late 2026, AB6IX remains on hiatus following the expiration of the membersโ contracts with Brand New Music, but Woojin continues to be identified as an AB6IX member while pursuing solo activities.
Early Life and Pre-Debut
Woojin was born and raised in Busan, South Korea. Some fan-compiled profiles specify Dadae-dong in Saha-gu as his neighborhood, though this detail has not been confirmed by an official source. He developed an early interest in dance and performance, and he is known to have trained in B-boying, popping, locking, and crumping.
When he was eleven years old, Woojin auditioned for the survival program Superstar K, an experience that predates his later idol training. He initially trained under JYP Entertainment before moving to Brand New Music. Prior to appearing on Produce 101 Season 2, he had trained for approximately one year and two months.
He graduated from the Korean Arts High School in January 2018. Details about his family are limited, but Woojin has publicly mentioned a younger sister named Park Yerim during a Produce 101 broadcast, and this has been repeated in fan-compiled profiles. Further family information is not publicly available.
Produce 101 and Wanna One
Woojinโs career-defining break came in 2017 when he competed on Produce 101 Season 2. He finished sixth with a total of 937,379 votes, securing a place in the project group Wanna One. Wanna One debuted on August 7, 2017, with the mini-album 1X1=1 (To Be One) and the title track โEnergetic.โ The group quickly became one of the most commercially successful acts of its era, and Woojin gained recognition for his stage presence and dance skills.
Wanna One disbanded on January 27, 2019, after the conclusion of its contracted activities. The disbandment marked the end of a significant chapter, but it also opened the door for Woojinโs permanent debut with Brand New Musicโs new boy group.
AB6IX Debut and Group Career
After Wanna Oneโs disbandment, Brand New Music announced that Woojin would debut in AB6IX alongside fellow Produce 101 trainees Lee Daehwi, Kim Donghyun, and Lim Youngmin, plus Jeon Woong. AB6IX debuted on May 22, 2019, with the EP B:COMPLETE and the title track โBreathe.โ The groupโs name stands for โAbsolute Six,โ reflecting the idea that the five members and their fandom, ABNEW, together form a complete unit.
AB6IX achieved early commercial success. The group earned its first music show win on June 4, 2019, with โBreatheโ on SBS MTVโs The Show. A second win followed in October 2019 with โBlind for Love.โ In 2023, the group added another trophy for โLOSER.โ
The groupโs lineup changed in 2020 when Lim Youngmin departed, and AB6IX continued as a four-member act with Woong, Donghyun, Woojin, and Daehwi. Over the years, AB6IX released multiple EPs and full-length albums, including 6IXENSE, Moโ Complete, A to B, Take a Chance, and the The Future Is Ours series.
In 2026, Brand New Music announced that the membersโ exclusive contracts would expire on May 25, and that AB6IX would enter an indefinite hiatus after a seventh-anniversary concert, โ6IX TO SEVEN,โ held on May 23โ24, 2026. The group has not disbanded, but group activities are currently paused.
Solo Career
Woojin made his solo debut on February 27, 2023, with the mini-album oWn and the title track โTop Tier.โ The EP was described as a personal statement, with Woojin reportedly calling the album โmy autobiography.โ โTop Tierโ is a hip-hop track built on an 808 bass line and a repetitive lead sound, designed to showcase his lower-register rap style.
In June 2026, Woojin signed an exclusive contract with PARA MUSIC, a label home to the group YOUNITE. PARA MUSIC described the signing as a reflection of Woojinโs trust in longtime staff members, and the agency released new profile images alongside the announcement. On October 13, 2026, Woojin released his second EP, SOLSTICE, led by the track โSTAMINA.โ The Korea Times reported that the EP marked a fresh start for Woojin after a year-and-five-month break and that it expanded his vocal and songwriting work.
Group Role
Woojin is officially credited as AB6IXโs main rapper and main dancer, with vocalist duties as well. He is not the groupโs leader; Jeon Woong is the eldest member and leader. Woojinโs role in AB6IX has consistently centered on performance: his rap verses and dance lines are highlighted in title tracks such as โBreathe,โ โBlind for Love,โ and โLOSER.โ He has also participated in songwriting and lyric-writing for the group, and he is known to have contributed to choreography.
Early Life and Education
Woojinโs pre-debut story is closely tied to Busanโs dance culture. His background in B-boying and street dance styles gave him a technical foundation that later translated into idol choreography. He attended the Korean Arts High School and graduated in January 2018. His family life is largely private, though he has publicly acknowledged a younger sister.
Career Journey
Woojinโs career can be divided into three distinct phases:
- Survival show and project group (2017โ2019): Produce 101 Season 2 โ Wanna One debut โ Wanna One disbandment.
- AB6IX and group promotions (2019โ2026): AB6IX debut โ multiple EPs and albums โ music show wins โ world tours and fan concerts.
- Solo and agency transition (2023โpresent): Solo debut with oWn โ signing with PARA MUSIC โ second EP SOLSTICE.
Family Background
Woojin has mentioned a younger sister named Park Yerim, but further family details are not publicly available. He has not disclosed information about his parentsโ occupations or other private family matters.
Relationship Status
There is no publicly confirmed relationship information available. Woojin has not publicly disclosed a romantic partner, and no reputable outlet has reported a verified relationship.

| SOLSTICE | October 13, 2026 | EP | โSTAMINAโ |
Notable Songs
- โBreatheโ (AB6IX) – The groupโs debut title track and first music show winner. It established AB6IXโs pop-hip-hop sound and gave Woojin an early platform as a main rapper.
- โBlind for Loveโ (AB6IX) – A darker, more performance-driven track that earned the group a second music show trophy and showcased Woojinโs dance leadership.
- โTop Tierโ (solo) – Woojinโs solo debut single, built on an 808 bass and a repetitive lead line, designed to highlight his lower-register rap and ambition.
- โSTAMINAโ (solo) – The lead track from SOLSTICE, described by The Korea Times as emphasizing Woojinโs low-register rap while expanding his vocal range.
Music Style and Artistic Evolution
Woojinโs musical identity is rooted in hip-hop and performance. As AB6IXโs main rapper, he typically handles rhythmic, punchline-driven verses, often paired with choreography-intensive sections. His tone is lower and more percussive than a typical idol rapperโs, and he has cited the importance of โwitty rhyme and punch lineโ in his solo work.
His solo material, particularly oWn and SOLSTICE, moves toward a harder hip-hop sound than AB6IXโs group releases. oWn was framed as a personal statement, and SOLSTICE was described as a fresh start that broadened his vocal and songwriting contributions. Woojinโs dance background-B-boying, popping, and locking-continues to inform his performance style, even when he is rapping rather than dancing.
