Helen Park

Helen Park was born in Busan, South Korea on March 23, 1986 as Hyunjung Park, but moved to Canada with her family when she was in her third year of middle school.

Park would later attend New York University and graduated with an MFA in Musical Theater Writing from the Tisch School of the Arts and is also an alumni from the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. After graduating from college, Park stayed in New York and continued on with a career in composing, lyric-writing, orchestrator and musician, writing the music for the musical KPOP, and the 2020 Netflix animated feature Over the Moon.

In 2018, she won a Lucille Lortel Award, a Samuel French Short Playwriting Contest, and Richard Rodgers Award and was also nominated for three Drama Desk Awards.

She is currently a member of the Dramatists Guild and has also performed at various events in New York City, which include a sold out solo performance at Feinstein’s/54 Below.

Broadway World has called Park “the calmest, coolest, chicest, young prodigy in town”.
