# Park Je-up

Park Je-up (Korean: 박제업; born March 27, 1993), known mononymously as Jeup, is a South Korean singer. He is the main vocalist of South Korean boy group Imfact. He is active as a solo artist and released his first extended play My Everything in 2024 under the KH Company, the label through which he made his solo debut with the digital single "Daystar" in 2022.

## Career
### 2016–2022: Debut with Imfact, I Can See Your Voice, and The Unit

Jeup debuted as the main vocalist of five-member boy group Imfact (Korean: 임팩트) under the now defunct Star Empire Entertainment on January 27, 2016.
In March 2017, Jeup made a guest appearance as a mystery singer on the first episode of the fourth season of I Can See Your Voice.
Starting from late 2017 and continuing into early 2018, Jeup appeared as a contestant on KBS' survival reality show, Idol Rebooting Project: The Unit, with Imfact group members Taeho, Ungjae, and Jian. Jeup was eliminated in the fifteenth episode, placing eleventh in the competition.

### 2022–2023: Departure from Star Empire Entertainment, solo debut with KH Company, and Sing Again 3

Star Empire made an announcement on January 4, 2022, stating that the members of Imfact, including Jeup, collectively settled upon the decision to not renew their contracts with the company. No official statement has been released regarding the status of Imfact as a group. Therefore, Jeup's position as a member remains unchanged as of September 2024.
In April 2022, Jeup signed with KH Company as a soloist under the stage name of Seoul. He released his debut digital single "Daystar" the same year on October 3. He shared that the track was offered to him by Choi Hyun-joon, a member of V.O.S, an R&B boy group that had previously been active under Star Empire. Following his debut, Jeup released an additional three digital singles: "Dear Snow," "Can't Leave," and "One Man."
On January 25, 2023, Jeup notified fans of his decision to change his stage name from Seoul to his birth name, Park Je-up. This change was prompted by challenges in discoverability because of the association with South Korea's capital. Jeup subsequently released digital single "Day by Day" in collaboration with singer U Sung-eun on February 25.
In late 2023, Jeup appeared as a contestant in the third season of JTBC's reality television show Sing Again. He was eliminated in the fourth episode, having passed the first round but not the second.

### 2024–present: Build Up, My Everything, and the debut of D&J

On January 21, Mnet announced the contestants for their new reality competition, Build Up: Vocal Boy Group Survival. Jeup was part of this line-up and placed in the "Power" category. In the finals, he was eliminated and secured second place with his team, The Partners.
On May 1, KH Company announced the release of his first extended play, titled My Everything. On May 18, the day of its release, Jeup hosted his first two fan concerts at Ilchi Art Hall.
On June 12, KH Company announced that Jeup's seventh digital single, "Time We Loved", will be released on the 25th.
In a joint statement delivered on July 7, KH Company and Beat Interactive announced that Jeup and Lee Dong-hun, the main vocalist of A.C.E and Jeup's teammate on Build Up, will debut as a duo named D&J. On July 13, they released their debut digital single titled "I Still".
On October 11, KH Company announced the upcoming release of Jeup's second extended play, titled Mellifluous. It is scheduled to be released in November.

## Personal life
### Military service

On July 13, 2020, Star Empire posted an announcement stating that Jeup would fulfill his mandatory military service starting on July 27 as an active duty soldier. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was discharged early on January 26, 2022.
