Park Dae Won is a South Korean singer, dancer, actor, choreographer, musical actor and former member of MADTOWN (매드타운) and UNB (유앤비). He graduated from Cheonan Industrial High School.

He has been interested in dancing since he was a child. He was a trainee at AB Entertainment and worked as a backup dancer in K.Will’s “Love Blossom”, in EXO’s “Growl”, and in Ladies’ Code’s “Pretty Pretty” promotions.

He made his debut in October 2014 as MADTOWN's main dancer and vocalist with their first album, also titled "Mad Town". The group enjoyed some initial success. However, J. Tune Camp (제이튠캠프) began facing financial problems and rumors of possible embezzlement and declared bankruptcy in early 2017. Their contracts were transferred to GNI Entertainment (지엔아이엔터테인먼트).

In September 2017, they filed a lawsuit to terminate their contracts, and the Seoul Central District Court ruled in their favor 2 months later, leading to their disbandment. He later entered the singing survival show "The Unit" and finished in 7th place, so he was selected to join the project group UNB. He re-debuted in April 2018 as the group's lead vocalist and lead dancer with their first EP, "Boyhood".

The contract was set for 9 months, and PocketDol Studio (포켓돌스튜디오) was in charge of managing their activities. In January 2019, the contract expired, and efforts to extend it were unsuccessful, so the group disbanded.

In mid-2019, he signed with C-JeS Studios (씨제스 스튜디오), debuting in the theatrical play "Why Did You Come to My House?" (우리집에 왜 왔니). He enlisted for his mandatory military service on March 2, 2020, and was discharged on September 9, 2021.

After his release, he plans to continue his career as a musical and theater actor.
