He entered the entertainment industry in 2005 with SS501 with his debut single Warning , taking on the role of supporting singer and lead dancer. The group is under the management of entertainment group Daesung Entertainment, the same group that created KARD and APRIL.

By 2006, the group was barely active in Korea due to member Heo Young Saeng's health. After his contract expired, the male singer left Daesung Entertainment and worked as a solo artist, and released the songs If you can't, Not Alone, Like tears are falling.

It was thought that the acting path would be open, but starting with an impressive role made Park Jung Min struggle to find a breakthrough for himself. After that, he only appeared in small supporting roles, unable to make the audience remember his face, and the name Park Jung Min gradually faded from the screen.

Shining brightly when many colleagues of the same generation had a solid foothold in the Korean film industry, Park Jung Min can be said to be a late blooming flower of Chungmuro. Both are alumni of the Korean National University of Arts and have acted in the same movie, but Lee Je Hoon and Byun Yo Han are the ones who broke through earlier than Park Jung Min even though they even debuted after him.

"I know that Byun Yo Han will be famous before me because he has good acting, facial expressions, good dancing and many other things. Studying is probably the only thing I'm better at than him. I'm not "I'm jealous or under any pressure about this. I just hope I will be more famous so my parents can be proud of me wherever I go," Park Jung Min once said in a 2015 interview with JoongAng newspaper. Daily. In March 2017, he confided to the press that even though he received the Blue Dragon Rookie Award, not many people knew him after that.
