His face became widely known to global audiences after starring in the popular Netflix series All of Us Are Dead, which was released in 2022 and achieved major success in many countries.

Lomon was born on November 11, 1999, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He has a Koryo-saram background, referring to the ethnic Korean community whose ancestors migrated to regions of the Russian Empire in the 19th century.

Although he was born and spent part of his early life outside South Korea, Park Solomon considers himself Korean and grew up strongly influenced by Korean culture.

Before settling in South Korea, his family lived in Russia for a time. While still in elementary school, Solomon moved to South Korea and completed his entire education there.

He graduated from Apgujeong High School in Gangnam, Seoul, a school known for having many alumni from the celebrity world and prominent K-pop idols.

He officially began using “Lomon” as his stage name in 2020. The name was derived from a shortened form of his real name, Solomon, making it simpler and easier to remember.

A major turning point in his career came in 2017 when he landed a leading role in the teen drama Sweet Revenge (Revenge Note).
