Biography
Park was born on 3 November 1984 in Bupyeong District, Incheon. She attended from Korea University before deciding to become a comedian. She debuted in 2007 through Korean Broadcasting System's 22nd open recruitment term for comedians. She made her first appearance in the comedy sketch segment of Gag Concert called "Gag Warrior 300" which brought her to public attention and won the Newcomer Award at the KBS Entertainment Awards in 2007.

Park died on 2 November 2020, aged 35. Park's father called the police as he could not get in touch with her or her mother, as they were not answering their phones. Park and her mother were found deceased in Park's Seoul home by police. A one-page note presumed to be written by Park's mother was left behind. Due to the family's request, the contents of the note have not been publicly released and no autopsy will be performed. But according to Yonhap News Agency, the note said that Park’s mother was not able to let her daughter suffer alone because of her illness. .....
Park’s funeral service was initially set to take place at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital at 5 p.m. 5 November, but was moved up to 11 a.m. of the same day.
