In 2012, Park wrote a song for the Korean drama series Dream High 2, which was released on February 14, 2012. She later made a cameo appearance on the drama to perform the song.[4][5]
2014–present: Solo debut
On July 31, 2014, Park made her debut as solo artist under the pseudonym HA:TFELT (an amalgamation of the words "hot" and "heartfelt;" the British pronunciation of “heartfelt") with her debut EP Me?.[6] The album was included in Billboard's list of the 10 best K-pop albums of 2014.[7]
On January 26, 2017, it was announced that Wonder Girls were to disband after unsuccessful contract renewal negotiations with some of its members, including Yeeun herself, who parted ways with JYP Entertainment. The group released their final single "Draw Me", co-written by Yeeun, on February 10. The song also served as a celebration of the group's 10th anniversary since debut.[1]
In April 2017, Park signed with Amoeba Culture, becoming the label's first female solo artist in eleven years.[2]
She subsequently released two soundtrack singles for the Korean travel series Cross Country: "Thru The Sky" and "Cross Country," a collaboration track with Kim Bo-hyung and Suran. In May, Yeeun was credited as a songwriter on "Only You" from former labelmate Twice's EP Signal.
On October 12, 2017, Park released her first single, MEiNE ("mine" in German), consisting of two songs: "I Wander" featuring Dynamic Duo's Gaeko and "Read Me" featuring PUNCHNELLO.[8]
On April 18, 2018, her second single album, Deine ("yours" in German), was released. The single consists of two songs: "Pluhmm" and "Cigar".[9]
On August 1, 2019, Park's single "Happy Now" was released, featuring Moonbyul of Mamamoo.[10]
In April of 2020, Park released her first full-length album, 1719, along with music videos for the three leading singles ("Life Sucks," "Sweet Sensation," and "Satellite").
