Park Solomon (
Korean: 박솔로몬; born November 11, 1999), also known by his stage name Lomon (
Korean: 로몬), is an Uzbekistan-born South Korean actor. Having debuted in 2014, he is best known for his leading roles in Sweet Revenge (2017), All of Us Are Dead (2022), and Revenge of Others (2022).
Early life and education
Lomon was born on November 11, 1999, in
Uzbekistan, to parents of
Koryo-saram descent.[1][2][3][4] As a child, he and his family lived in Russia and later moved to South Korea.[4] Finishing his elementary in South Korea, Park completed his secondary studies at Apgujeong High School, located in
Gangnam District, Seoul.[5][3]
In an interview, he explained the meaning of his name: "I don't have a religion. I heard that my father built it with the intention that he wanted me to live wisely while reading the
Bible at that time. I am working hard with the given name. I will live wisely."[6]
In 2019, Lomon starred in the Chinese drama Lookism, having learned Mandarin for the role.[5]
He made his return to the small screen after two years when he starred as Lee Su-hyeok in the Netflix zombie-themed series All of Us Are Dead in 2022. Following the international success of the series, Lomon gained a huge following of 2 million followers on Instagram in less than a week.[7] In the same year, Park was cast as the lead male character in the
Disney+ series Revenge of Others opposite
Shin Ye-eun.[8] It was broadcast in November.[9]
On January 19, 2022, Lomon signed an exclusive contract with Big Smile Entertainment.[10]
