Born to a Vietnamese mother and Korean father, Park is the oldest among four siblings. She grew up taking care of her brothers and sisters and helping her parents.

Park is also fluent in Vietnamese and Korean. She has proven her linguistic skills by winning a bronze medal in a bilingual speech contest hosted by the provincial government in 2019.

Having spent her early childhood in Vietnam before entering school, Park had struggled with Korean at first, but she did not give up. And through her own efforts she was able to achieve remarkable results in her academic life.

Park especially shows enthusiasm in science. She has received various awards in and outside of school related to the subject, and earlier this year she was honored with a prize from the Ministry of Science and ICT on Science Day in April.

Along with his modeling activities, he engages in many charity and volunteer projects including monthly donations at non-governmental organizations to support the underprivileged across the globe.

He is also very interested in protecting the environment. He was appointed as a Mentor of Trash Donation at the foundation in 2018, and he shows an example to his friends at school by recycling products and caring for animals, insects and plants.

Onubogu's outgoing personality makes him popular among his friends as he creates a lively atmosphere for everyone to have fun together.
