Park Gun-wook

Park Gun-wook (박건욱) has become one of the strongest all-round performers to emerge from the post-survival-show generation. After first appearing on Wild Idol, he hit a different scale on Boys Planet, where his mix of size, stage control, and competitive instinct made him one of the show's most reliable performers. Finishing fifth put him into ZEROBASEONE, but the bigger takeaway was that he arrived with a skill set already built for major-stage work.

Inside ZB1, Gun-wook has been valuable because he is not easy to slot into one narrow role. He can rap, sing, dance with weight, and project confidence without flattening the group dynamic. That breadth showed up again in 2025 when he released "Placebo," an original solo track he wrote, composed, and arranged himself, giving public proof that his ambitions stretch beyond idol performance into authorship.

His 2026 agency update mattered too. WAKEONE's decision to secure Gun-wook as one of the first members to sign directly reflected where he sits in the group's long-term picture. In market terms, he reads as the kind of idol who can carry albums, variety, touring, and eventually a deeper solo catalog, which is why his profile inside the fifth-generation boy-group field keeps getting stronger.
