She is well known in Korea and abroard for her acting, singing and modelling skills. She has a B.F.A. from Namseoul University in Environmental Art & Design, but isn't putting this to use at the moment. Her voice has a very pure quality to it which has won her many fans.
For her first third albums, Park retained a sweet, innocent approach to her music. However, for her fourth onwards, she decided to partake in some of the production and writing, and created something scandalous. For her return into the music world, Park completely changed her image with Sung In Shik (Coming of Age Ceremony), which had such a shocking music video that it was banned from many Korean networks. In it, you can see Park's hand slip under a running sewing machine (she proceeds to apply the blood as lip-stick), and finally tear apart a gigantic toy bear.
This mature, deep and style filled theme continued with the lead music video for her fifth album, Man, in which she dressed as a man, ate maggots and died as her male counterpart killed her with a car bomb. Sadly, she did not continue on this style for her 6th album (In which the shocking music videos were replaced with a shocking amount of hair)
She made a comeback in 2009 with her 7th album.

그대 원하고 있죠
눈앞에 있는 날
알아요 그대 뭘 원하는지
뭘 기다리는지
그대여 이리와요
나도 언제까지 그대가
생각하는 소녀가
여자로 태어났죠
기다려준 그대가
고마울 뿐이죠 나
이제 그대 입맞춤에 여자가 되요
난 이제 더 이상
소녀가 아니예요
그대 더 이상
망설이지 말아요
그대 기다렸던 만큼
나도 오늘을 기다렸어요
장미 스무송일 내게 줘요
그대 사랑을 느낄 수 있게
그댈 기다리며
나 이제 눈을 감아요
그대여 나 허락할래요
나만을 바라보던
그대의 사랑을
사랑은 너무나 달콤하고
향기로운 거란걸
내게 가르쳐줘요
항상 힘들어하는 그대
기다려 주던 그대
모습 바라보는 내
마음도 아팠어요
하지만 이제 내게
더 기다려야 될
이유가 없어지는 날이 온 거예요
난 이제 더 이상
소녀가 아니예요
그대 더 이상 망설이지 말아요
그대 기다렸던 만큼
나도 오늘을 기다렸어요
장미 스무송일 내게 줘요
그대 사랑을 느낄 수 있게
그댈 기다리며
나 이제 눈을 감아요
나도 언제까지 그대가
생각하는 소녀가
아니예요 이제 나
여자로 태어났죠
기다려준 그대가
고마울 뿐이죠 나
이제 그대 입맞춤에 여자가 되요
난 이제 더 이상
소녀가 아니예요
그대 더 이상 망설이지 말아요
그대 기다렸던 만큼
나도 오늘을 기다렸어요
장미 스무송일 내게 줘요
그대 사랑을 느낄 수 있게
그댈 기다리며 나 이제
눈을 감아요
