Early life and education
Park Sung-hoon, who will turn 20 in 2023, was born on December 8, 2002 in Cheonan, South Korea. Apart from having a younger sister who was born in 2007, he has not revealed much information about his family background.
He suffered from severe amblyopia as a child, which almost caused him to lose the vision in his right eye and affected his self-confidence.
His parents encouraged him to try sports to boost his morale, and he chose figure skating as his hobby. He graduated from Pangok High School and then entered Yongin University, majoring in sociology and physical education.
Personal life
Sunghoon is single and has never been publicly in a relationship. He is focusing on his career and personal growth as an artist.
He likes to listen to hip-hop music, eat roasted pork belly, and eat coffee-flavored ice cream. He is afraid of bugs and ghosts and has a habit of sticking out his tongue.
He also has a poodle named Gaeul, whom he loves and takes good care of. He has a close relationship with the other Enhypen members, especially Jay and Jake, who were also born in 2002.
He is also friends with other idols, such as Ive’s Wonyoung, with whom he co-hosts Music Bank.

He also won gold medals at the 2015 Asia Figure Skating Cup and Lombardy Cup Rookie Championships, and silver medals at the 2016 and 2017 Asia Figure Skating Cup Junior Championships.
He competed in the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Estonia and Poland, as well as the Asian Figure Skating Championships and the Alpine Championships in the ISU Challenger Series. He retired from the sport in early 2020 due to his desire to become an idol.
In 2018, Sung Hoon was discovered during figure skating and became a trainee at Big Hit Music. In 2020, he joined the survival show “I-Land” produced by Belift Lab, a joint venture between Mnet and CJ E&M and Hybe Corporation.
His talent, charisma and hard work impressed the audience and producers and he was placed sixth out of the seven finalists who formed the new boy band Enhypen.
He officially debuted with the group on November 30, 2020, releasing the album “Border: Day One”, which sold over 300,000 copies in the first week.
He has since released three more albums with the band: Border: Carnival, Dimension: Dilemma, and Sadame, the latter of which was their first full-length Japanese album.
He has also appeared in various shows such as EN-O’CLOCK, ENHYPEN&Hi, and EN-CONNECT, where he showcased his personality and skills.
In addition to group activities, Sunghoon has also dabbled in solo projects. In September 2021, he became a new host of the popular music program Music Bank along with Ive’s Wonyoung.
He also made a special appearance as himself in Playlist’s web series Mimicus in July 2022. He is also a music DJ, performing under the stage name Roi in different countries including China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
