If you're new to Park SeoHam, here is some basic information about him. He was born on October 28, 1993. You may recognize him by the names SeungJun or GyeongBok; this is because he has changed his name a couple of times before. He was born as Park GyeongBok but was teased in school because his name sounded like the famous Korean monument Gyeongbokgung Palace. So, he changed his name to Park SeungJun when he was eight years old. His name changed to Park SeoHam in 2018.

As an idol, he was best known for being the tallest member of KNK at 192cm (at the time). He is currently said to be 193cm tall, although he has said himself that his height varies between 189cm and 193cm each time he checks his height.

His "Semantic Error" role meant a lot to him and his fans. Park SeoHam talks about how the role came to him when he was dealing with burnout and at a low point in his life. His heart was supposedly 90% percent set on retiring. We're sure that many people can agree that they're glad he didn't give up and took on the part.

In the same interview, he said that "Semantic Error" symbolizes a project that helped him gain his confidence back and helped him set his own pace after the heartbreak of ending his activities as an idol.

When the director of the drama was asked why she cast him for the role, she said that one of the staff members showed her his Instagram and she felt like she could hear Jang JaeYoung's voice coming from his photo. However, she had reservations because his personality was so kind and she was worried he wouldn't be able to pull off a cool kid role. Regardless, she gave him a chance and saw his passion and potential.

Next, we need to talk about his visuals. Park SeoHam is known for his silky skin which is highlighted by his prominent eyebrow bones. One of the most adorable features on his face is the way that his eyes crinkle at the sides when he smiles. His eye smile can melt your heart.
