Why Mindy From Emily In Paris Looks So Familiar

Park told Interview that she was drawn to the performing arts from a young age. "Neither of my parents are in show-business at all," said the actress. "My father's basically tone-deaf. But they have great showmanship as people, and they signed me up for dance classes very early on. I was always the runt of the class, but I was very, very dedicated. Then I started taking piano lessons. I've always been super musical. But I never thought that musical theater was something I could pursue as a career until much later into high school."

Per The Interval, Park graduated from the University of Michigan in 2013 and has been acting steadily since then. While life is busy, she's happy to be living her dream. 

"Every morning I wake up and I'm excited to do what I'm doing, so even if it's a bunch of press stuff and going to a theatre for a long day, everything is really fine and I understand that," she said. "I'm really just trying to hold on to that."
