Park In-tae (Korean: 박인태; born 18 November 1992) is a South Korean actor, model, singer-songwriter and classical pianist. Park began his career as a relatively unknown child actor,
Early Life and Education
Park was born on Wednesday, 18 November 1992, in Incheon, South Korea, to Park Min-hyeok and Ahn Chae-eun, as the only child of the couple. His father, Park Min-hyeok, was a prominent photojournalist originally from Busan but raised in Seoul since the age of 5, and his mother, Ahn Chae-eun, an aspiring scientist and future philanthropist in her early twenties—the first hanja of his given name, In (仁), was taken from that of his native city's, and means "benevolence." The marriage, however, did not last; his parents divorced when he was 2, and he moved with his mother from mainland Incheon to Ganghwa-gun, where the two lived with his maternal grandparents—his younger half-brother, architect Kim Sung-wook, was born three years later in 1997, during the Asian financial crisis that swept the region. He attended both Samsan Elementary School and Ganghwa Middle School, studying at the former during the family's stay in Samsan-myeon and the latter after they moved to the main island, Ganghwa-do.
When they moved for the third (and final) time back to mainland Incheon, settling in Bupyeong-gu, Park was sent to live with his father while he attended Kyunggi High School, an all-boys school, in the Gangnam District of Seoul until February of 2011, when he graduated. During his senior year, he received one of the highest national scores for his CSATs—as a result, he was accepted into the Korea National University of Arts on scholarship, and graduated in 2015 with dual degrees from the Schools of Drama and Music in Acting and Instrumental Music respectively, choosing to specialize in Piano with the latter; he then attended Yonsei University Graduate School in September of the same year, and graduated with his Master of Music—also specializing in Piano—in 2017.
Career
?—present: Actor
In July of 2021, Park, along with actors Kim Nam-gil, Jo Woo-jin, and Park Sung-woong, were reported to have filmed special appearances for the upcoming film Hunt, featuring Lee Jung-jae as the main lead in his own directorial debut and the younger Park in his first role since leaving the military—all four were urgently tested on the 14th after it was revealed that a crew member tested positive for COVID-19, and filming for the main staff halted for several days. Media remarked that this was the second such scare for Park, his first having come upon his return to the navy base after an emergency leave, although both times he tested negative. Hwang Jung-min, Lee Sung-min, and Yoo Jae-myung were later reported to have also joined filming as special appearances—Hunt was invited to the non-competitive Midnight Screening section at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, and was released theatrically in South Korea on 10 August 2022.
In August of 2021, Park began principal photography for the main role in the upcoming film ''Gentleman'', where he plays the president of a private detective agency who pretends to be a prosecutor after being falsely accused of kidnapping his client. Filming, featuring actors Choi Sung-eun and Park Sung-woong as his co-stars—marking his second collaboration with the latter in the same year—concluded on the 5th of December, with the film expected for release in 2022. Gentleman was officially announced to be slated to release on 28 December 2022, a little over a year after the end of filming.

?—present: Classical Pianist
Described as a bright child, Park could often be found playing piano in his grandfather's sitting room—his grandfather, Ahn Sang-hun, was a retired concert pianist, and encouraged him during his daily routine to continue in his pursuits. (Park's favorite piece was, and still remains, Vaughn Williams' The Lark Ascending, a piece that his grandfather played most frequently.)

Private Life
Park has been quite open about his struggles with mental health—in an interview with ? just before entering the military, he mentioned that he had been first diagnosed with a panic disorder shortly after graduating from high school, with the second diagnosis coming after one of his most severe panic attacks occurred during his last year of graduate school. He clarified, however, upon being pressed further, that he had been taking medication (along with seeing a therapist), and at the time had not experienced a major episode in almost a year and a half. (Park also suffers from migraines, a symptom suspected by his doctors to be, in part, connected to the previous diagnosis but nonetheless compounded by family history—his mother and grandmother were known to have had the disorder as well.) The actor has a semicolon tattoo on the inside of his left wrist, which he had previously stated was a commemorative tattoo he had done after being talked out of a suicidal episode in his early twenties.
A known animal lover, Park adopted a female cat, Eui, in the summer of 2021, after having donated to the shelter cause for several years. In early spring of 2022, he fostered two more cats, though he was only able to officially adopt one of them—the first and eventual adoptee, Bin, a male, that had been on the euthanasia list, and the second, Seol, female, a stray cat that had lived around the filming set during one of his most recent project. Seol would go on to two other foster homes after Park's, before settling in the home of one of his director friends and his wife. In the summer of the same year—perhaps to replace Seol—Park adopted a Shiba Inu puppy, Beom, from a family that was unable to take care of him. He and his pets currently live in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, near Itaewon, in a property that he was reported to have considered purchasing at pre-sale price in 2017—when the complex switched to a rent-to-own system just before sales began in June of 2018, the actor chose to wait until the following spring to purchase, and moved into the property shortly after his return from military service. The property is, coincidentally, not far from the Madhaa'in embassy, also located in Hannam-dong.
Family and Friends
Park has two siblings—other than his younger half-brother, whose parentage he shares with his mother, he also has a paternal older half-brother, Park Ji-tae, from his father's previous relationship before meeting his mother, born in 1984. The two stayed together briefly during Park's time in their father's residence in Seocho-gu, as the older Park was studying at the Seoul National University School of Law. Their father's half-sister (and therefore their paternal aunt), author Koh Min-hee, is half-Zainichi Korean—her great-grandmother's family immigrated to Japan in the late 1800s, briefly settling in Tsushima Island before moving to Osaka, with their descendants only returning to Korea in the 1950s and 60s.
