Early life and education[]
Park was born in Mungyeong,[8] South Korea. His father was a soldier and his mother was a civil servant who worked for telephone service.[9] His grandfather was a music teacher and composer. Park's grandfather composed a school song for a local school in Gyeongsang-do.[10] Park was a member of Andong MBC Children's Choir (안동MBC 어린이 합창단).[11][12]He attended Yeongga Elementary School, Andong Middle School and Andong High School[13][14]. When he was in high school, Park suffered from an accident where he fell from the 3rd floor of his school building. This resulted in his ankles being broken into 30 pieces and must be fixed with screws permanently, therefore he was extempted from military service.[15] However, Park himself wanted to finish the service, so later on he enlisted at the training center, but was exempted from military service during the reexamination. Park is known to have majored in Advertising and Public relations at Cheongju University and completed a master's course in Practical Music Composition at Kookmin University Graduate School of Arts.[16][17][18]He was also an adjunct professor at the Department of Applied Music at Sehan University.[19][20]
Career[]
2004–2015: Ups and downs as a ballad singer[]
In 2004, Park Young-tak entered The 1st Yeongnam Song Festival contest and won the first prize.[21] He used the prize money (1,000,000 Won) to move to Seoul and work on becoming a singer.[22][23] Park started out by singing OST for the movie Marrying the Mafia II (2005).[24] In January 2007, Park won the rookie singer contest hosted by Snow Rain Cast (Korean: 눈비캐스트) and released his digital album 'Youngtak's DISIA' ('DISIA' is short for 'Digital Single Album') as the prize.[25] He was recognized for his singing ability with his 1st Ballad single "I Love You" (사랑한다).[26][27]
In 2008, Park and Seo Dong-hoon formed a duo called Let It Be (렛잇비) and sang OST for OCN drama "My Lady Boss, My Hero". They were in the middle of preparation for their album when their agency faced difficulties. Park and Seo then joined Star King with Min Geum-yong and Lee Woo-ram as Country Kids' Soul - supposedly a parody group of Brown Eyed Soul.[28] They won the first place and got a contract with a music company to debut as a 4-member ballad group named L Class (Korean: 엘클래스)[29] He wrote their debut song "Don't Go" (가지 말라고).[30] They worked together for 2 years, released 2 singles and disbanded in 2011.
Park later became part of a ballad duo called J-Symphony (Korean: 제이심포니 or J-심포니) with ex L-Class member Min Geum-yong (Korean: 민금용)[31][32]. They released 3 singles and even had activities in Japan before part away in 2012.[33] In the meantime, Park continued his music works by singing OSTs for cartoons, dramas and movies; singing guides for famous singers and groups such as Super Junior-H, Davichi, Park Hyoshin, SG Wannabe, Hwanhee, etc; writing and producing songs, and many more.[34][35]
In 2014, Park Young-tak and his friend Ji Kwang-min (Korean: 지광민; stage name MinZi, Korean: 민지) formed a Ballad/Urban/Hiphop/R&B duo called Park G (Korean: 박지, a.k.a. Park-Ji, "Park" and "Ji" are their respective last names).[24] They release songs and work together as producers, even after Park has switched to Trot.
To make a living, Park became an adjunct professor at Sehan University and voice teacher at music academies.[36][37] He almost gave up his singing career as it was not a stable job. But when Park joined Hidden Singer 2 as a contestant in Wheesung's episode[38], his love for singing was resurrected. He decided to work on his voice and sing professionally again.
The 5 contestants in Wheesung's episode: "Love Wheesung" Kim Jin-ho, "Seoul Wheesung" Park Joon-young, "Adjunct Professor Wheesung" Park Young-tak, "Trot Wheesung" Je-cheong and "Composer Wheesung" Dason, along with singer Greg Priester formed a group called Wheesung Team (Korean: 휘성팀) or Wheeteam for short.[39]
On January 28, 2014, they released an R&B/Soul single called "Cliché" (똑같은 말)[40][41] with Park G, which was composed by Park. The song was a homage to Wheesung, produced by Park and MinZi.[42] Wheesung Team guested on shows and sang together at benefit concerts.[43][44] They did charities together as well and received a testimonial from UNICEF. On December 8, 2015, Wheesung Team released their second single "You Walk Like That Too" (너도 그렇게 걸어줘)[45] to cheer up anyone who is pursuing their dreams. The song was written and produced by Park and Dason's group Joy O'Clock. This is also their message to each other before going on their separate ways: a promise to keep their strong friendships and be supportive of each person's lives and dreams.[46]
2016 – 3/2020: Mr. Trot's Seon (善) – "Trot Cool Guy" Young Tak[]
In 2016, Park Young-tak signed a contract with Milagro Entertainment[16][47] and became a trot singer with the stage name "Young Tak".[48] His CEO co-wrote his Trot debut song "Nuna You're Perfect" (누나가 딱이야). He promoted his songs by working as a morning show presenter and a guest singer in singing classes for middle-aged people.[49] His second Trot single is called "We Are So Bad" (우리 정말 나쁘다 (演歌))[50], which received good response from the public. In the same year, he released his first Trot duet and MV "Cherry Blossom Love" (사랑의 벚꽃놀이) with Sook Haeng.[51][52] "Cherry Blossom Love" was given to them by a composer named Kwak Young Joon, who has written songs for Big Mama, Heesung and Naul of Brown Eyed Soul. They were hoping this song would be a Trot version of Busker Busker’s Cherry Blossom Ending - a repeatedly adored song for every spring.
Young Tak wrote and produced "Why Are You Coming Out From There" (니가 왜 거기서 나와) in 2018.[53] It is based on the true story of how Young Tak found out his girlfriend was cheating on him.[54] He planned to give the song to his friend Young-ki, who is also a Trot singer, but Young-ki said the song was too difficult for him.[55] Jang Min-ho suggested that Young Tak sing this song himself and it became Young Tak's fourth Trot single.[56] He also choreographed and came up with the idea for the album's cover as well as the music video on his own. "Why Are You Coming Out From There" went viral in South Korea thanks to kids liking the song and using it for their TikTok videos.[57] The "Grabbing the neck" choreography of the song also became more known by Trot lovers.
Young Tak then auditioned for TV Chosun's Mr. Trot on December 2019[58] and got his breakthrough thanks to his cover of "A Glass of Makgeolli" (막걸리 한 잔) by Kang Jin in Mr. Trot's Mission 2 – Death Match: 1 VS 1.[59] After the episode was aired, his cover got 1.2 million downloads in one week. Young Tak became a household name throughout South Korea and earned his nickname "Takgeolli".[60] There is also a Makgeolli brand named after him, called Youngtak Makgeolli.[61]
In the final round of the competition, where all the top 7 finalists got to choose one totally new song to perform, Young Tak chose "Jjin-iya" (찐이야) (also known as "Pitiful" in English) and the song, along with the thumb dance that he choreographed himself, became Mr. Trot's best hit.[62] Young Tak came 2nd in the end and signed a 1 year and 6 months contract with New Era Project with other singers called Top 6.[16][63][64]
