Sun Park (Korean: 박선; born 3 January 1981) is a South Korean-Australian singer, actress, entertainer[1] and former member of the children's entertainment group Hi-5 as well as the television series of the same name from 2006 to 2008.[citation needed]
Park appeared in the Brisbane and Sydney seasons of Mamma Mia!. Before her stint with Hi-5, she toured with the live act BPM - Beats Per Minute that fused funk, rock, jazz and hip hop music, and worked with the Australian band Rogue Traders, alongside Natalie Bassingthwaighte.
In 2006, she was hired as a temporary replacement for entertainer Kathleen de Leon Jones in the children's entertainment group Hi-5, and was announced as a permanent replacement in 2007 when de Leon Jones confirmed she would not be returning to the group. In December 2008, Park announced that she would be leaving Hi-5 after less than three years with the group in order to concentrate on settling down and starting a family. She also expressed that she felt she was only ever meant to be a temporary replacement for Kathleen. Park's final performance with the group was at the 2008 Carols by Candlelight. [citation needed]
In 2021, Park was named in the cast for ABC drama Troppo.[2]
Personal life
Park told the media in 2008 that she was going to settle down and focus on starting a family after finishing her work with Australian children's entertainment group Hi-5. In 2009 she married business development worker Nathan Pezzimenti. [citation needed]
