Park was born in New York City to Korean immigrant parents and was raised as the family's only child. She trained as an actor at Drama Centre London, one of the United Kingdom's most competitive drama conservatories, before returning to the United States to pursue a professional career. She began acting in 2009 with appearances in short films,1 and in 2010 performed the one-woman show "Diaries of a K-Town Diva," directed by Barbara Tarbuck, an early showcase for her solo performance work.1
Park's television career began with a series of guest appearances across American primetime drama. In 2011 she appeared in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Law and Order: LA. Her first notable recurring role came with the NBC family comedy 1600 Penn (2013), where she played Stacey Kim, a White House mailroom clerk, across five episodes.1
In 2014 she joined the acclaimed first season of FX's Fargo, playing Linda Park, the coworker and love interest of Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman).2 The character, though supporting, is integral to the season's final act and is one of several victims of Lorne Malvo's (Billy Bob Thornton) endgame violence. Fargo Season 1 won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries in 2014.3
Park continued to build a strong recurring presence in prestige television through the mid-2010s. She recurred as Connie Chen across five episodes of ABC's Fresh Off the Boat (2015)1 and as Dr. Sally Hong in three episodes of CBS's Life in Pieces (2015).1 In 2016 she joined the HBO dark comedy Vice Principals as Christine Russell, appearing in 12 of the show's 18 total episodes across both seasons (2016-2017) alongside Danny McBride and Walton Goggins.1 That same year she also recurred as the demon Pevita in three episodes of NBC's The Good Place.1
Her film work expanded in the late 2010s. She appeared in the Netflix production Unicorn Store (2019), directed by Brie Larson,1 and played Judy Kim in the popular Netflix romantic comedy Always Be My Maybe (2019), starring Ali Wong and Randall Park.1
Her most substantial screen role to date is Jinju Seong in the TNT adaptation of Snowpiercer (2020-2022), a post-apocalyptic drama based on the 2013 Bong Joon-ho film and the original French graphic novel. Park plays an agricultural officer and chef aboard the perpetually circling train, appearing across 10 episodes in Season 1.1 The show was produced by Tomorrow Studios and executive produced by the Wachowskis. She also had a concurrent recurring role as Daphne Owens across 10 episodes of USA Network's Briarpatch (2020).4
More recent credits include a guest role in Apple TV+'s High Desert (2023) and the feature film Twinless (2025).4
In Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016), directed by Paul Feig, Park plays the Flashed Woman, a pedestrian bystander caught in the path of the Flasher Ghost during the film's climactic ghost-invasion sequence in Times Square. The character appears in Chapter 14 of the film alongside the Flashed Man (played by Tom Yi), when Rowan North releases the city's ghosts and the Flasher Ghost exposes itself to passersby on the street.
The Flasher Ghost scene was filmed on Oliver Street outside 265 Franklin Street in Boston, looking toward the intersection with Franklin, used as a stand-in for midtown Manhattan.5
