The actress was so busy with her constant work (at least 5 acting shows a year) that it took her 8 years to finish college.
Given her educational background (high school in Korea and majoring in fashion), Park is known for her interest in fashion, often praised for her red carpet appearances and editorial shoots.
Apparently, she took the university exam twice and believed that she had not studied very well, that she had just been lucky in the exams.
She is known for ballet and speaks English quite well.
In 2023, the actress was selected to become a global ambassador for the luxury fashion brand Gucci.
She was given the nickname “Netflix’s daughter” due to her constant appearances in Netflix projects.
