How did Chanyeol Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on November 27, 1992, in Seoul, South Korea, Park Chanyeol became interested in music as a young boy after watching the musical comedy, School of Rock in grade school. Growing up, his favorite arts included Green Day, X-Day, Nirvana, Muse, and Eminem. At the age of sixteen, he became a trainee with SM Entertainment after finishing second in a contest. Ultimately, it was during this time that he got into rapping.
In early 2012, he became the last member to join the South Korean boy band, EXO. A few months afterward, they made their debut with the extended play, Mama. A six-track project, it proved to be successful, having managed to reach the top of the music charts.
Their second extended play, Overdose was released in 2014. Another big hit, it featured a handful of new tracks, including Run, which was written by Chanyeol. Since then, the group has churned out a number of albums including Sing For You, For Life, Universe, and The War, all of which are incredibly popular in South Korea. Some of the songs that he’s written for the band include Don’t Make Money, Lightsaber, Ko Ko Bop, Sweet Lies, and Heaven.
