Born in Seoul as Park Chan-yeol, Chanyeol became interested in music after watching School of Rock as a child and began playing drums. He joined SM Entertainment as a trainee in 2008 and debuted with EXO in 2012.
Finding his voice.
EXO introduced him as a rapper, while his work outside the group brought his singing to more listeners. He recorded “Stay With Me” with Punch for the drama Goblin in 2016 and formed EXO-SC with Sehun, releasing What a Life in 2019.

His first solo mini album, Black Out, arrived in August 2024. He contributed lyrics to “I’m on your side too” and “Clover,” drawing on memories of fans and time with his dog.
