SUPERNOVA’s Park Geol-il’s Facts
Debut with SUPERNOVA
For those who don’t know SUPERNOVA, maybe the name of the group that debuted in 2007 is a little less familiar. Before being known as SUPERNOVA, this group consisted of 5 members including Kim Kwang-soo, Kim Sung-jae, Park Geon-il, Song Ji-hyuk, and Han Ji-hoo as a group called GM5. Then, the group became known as Chosinsung (Hangul: 초신성), and there was a change in the line-up when Han Ji-hoo was replaced by Jung Yoon-hak and Kim Jin-chul in December 2006. At that time, they performed as GM6, and after that, there was another member change when Kim Jin-chul was replaced by Yoon Sung-mo.
SUPERNOVA made its debut with the release of the single “Hit” and the debut album The Beautiful Stardust. Since its debut, SUPERNOVA has held various promotions in several countries that they can visit. Then, in 2009, SUPERNOVA carried out a collaborative project with T-ARA which had just made its debut. Only a few members were appointed to collaborate, who were T-ARA’s So-yeon, Hyo-min, Ji-yeon, and Eun-jung along with SUPERNOVA’s Geon-il, Kwang-soo, and Ji-hyuk. The project collaboration resulted in a featured song titled “T.T.L. (Time to Love)” within the hip hop genre with electronic sounds that were very popular at that time.
SUPERNOVA’s Park Geon-il’s Drama
Sign (Hangul: 싸인) tells how investigations are solved by a forensic doctor. This doctor is in charge of examining the deaths of people who died unnaturally. This doctor is named Yoon Ji-hoon (played by Park Shin-yang) who is an expert in the world of medicine in the field of forensics and has world-class skills but has a unique personality. In solving the murder cases, Yoon Ji-hoon is assisted by a beautiful woman named Go Da-kyung (played by Kim Ah-joong) who has an interest in and enthusiasm about examining evidence at the scene rather than checking in the morgue or in the laboratory. In the first episode, an artist is found lifeless at a concert. The artist is Seo Yoon-hyung (played by Park Geon-il) who is the leader of a boy band. Yoon-hyung’s death is allegedly due to an overdose of illegal drugs. Then, Jung Woo-jin (played by Uhm Ji-won) who acts as a prosecutor also interrogates the boy band members and the agency. Not only them but his lover also becomes a target of interrogation. As time went on, SUPERNOVA continued its career by promoting in Japan while several members undertook military service. So, while the members take turns carrying out their responsibilities in the army, SUPERNOVA with the rest of the members promotes individually to stay active.
SUPERNOVA’s Park Geon-il’s Dating News and Scandal
In January 2014, there was dating news from K-pop idols, and TV Daily reported that a Japanese media source released the reason that Kang Ji-young left KARA. According to Daily Cyzo, Kang Ji-young left KARA because of her relationship with SUPERNOVA member Park Geon-il. Because of this news, TV Daily contacted DSP Media as KARA’s agency to ask for confirmation. “We are not sure what news is circulating in Japan. This is our first time hearing about it. We don’t know anything at this time. We will check first.” A few hours later, DSP Entertainment responded to the rumors. They denied any romantic relationship between KARA’s Ji-young and SUPERNOVA’s Park Geon-il. As reported by Star Today, the two idols are just friends. So, there’s no way Ji-young left KARA because of Park Geon-il’s influence. This was also approved by Maroo Entertainment as SUPERNOVA’s agency. According to them, KARA’s Ji-young and SUPERNOVA’s Park Geon-il have been friends for a long time, but they are not dating. Ji-young’s departure from KARA has nothing to do with SUPERNOVA’s Park Geon-il. After that, SUPERNOVA continued promotions and announced that their first sub-unit, Funky Galaxy, was to debut on October 28, 2015, and would include their rappers, Park Geon-il, Ji-hyuk, and Kwang-soo.
