Park Joon-young joined NC with the first nomination in 2016. He was a pitcher when he joined. From the first year of his debut, he joined the first team mound and played an active role as a bullpen pitcher. Park Jun-young, who was included in the opening roster, pitched in 32 games, recorded 1 win, 3 losses, and 5 holds with an ERA of 6.95, and left due to an elbow injury in the middle of the season.

Eventually, he underwent elbow surgery, and after returning from military service, he switched from pitcher to hitter. After his elbow surgery, he showed limitations as a pitcher. He played both pitcher and infielder (shortstop) in Gyeonggi High School, so he tried again as a hitter.

Park Joon-young returned to the first team in 2020 as a hitter, and in 111 games in the 2021 season, he recorded a batting average of 209, 8 homers and 31 RBIs. He was highly evaluated for his potential as a 'non-tradeable player' by the NC club. In the 2022 season, due to minor injuries, he recorded a batting average of 2.16, 4 homers and 19 RBIs in 75 games.

In October 2022, Park Bun-young went up to the operating table again due to a shoulder dislocation injury. Last winter, NC recruited free agent catcher Park Se-hyeok for 4 years and 4.6 billion won, and the original team Doosan took Park Joon-young, who is undergoing rehabilitation after surgery, as a compensation player.

Park Joon-young completed rehabilitation in May and played in the Futures League. He steadily raised his sense of practice in the Futures League, and was called up to the first team after playing 28 games in the second team.

Park Joon-young, who came up to the first team on the 7th, played as a pinch hitter in the second half of the game against Kiwoom in Jamsil and performed a ceremony for Doosan with a double. In the 8th and 9th, he started at third base.

Park Joon-young played a big role in the match against Kiwoom on the 9th with 3 hits, 1 walk and 3 RBIs in 3 at-bats. Park Joon-young, who hit a single hit, a triple hit, and a home run in turn, missed a double hit and his cycling hit was canceled. He walked on base in his last at-bat.

In the 4th inning with a 2-0 lead, he hit a triple next to the left fielder with 1 out, 1st and 2nd base, and scored 2 RBIs. In the sixth inning, he hit a solo home run that went over the left field fence. Season 1 home run. In the dugout, Park Joon-young staged a 'disinterested ceremony' by himself while his colleagues deliberately ignored Park's first home run.

Park Joon-young said after the game, "I have no regrets about the cycling hit, and I am proud to have contributed to the team's winning streak." Recently, third baseman Heo Gyeong-min took a break due to a bad back condition. Park Joon-young said, "It's too greedy to compete for the starting position in my position. When Kyung-min hyung is not feeling well, I'm just thinking that I have to make sure that Kyung-min hyung doesn't feel empty."

Moving the team to a free agent compensation player is a motivation. Park Joon-young said, "I think it's a turning point in my baseball life. It's difficult to keep a good feeling, but if I try, I think I'll have a good record at the end of the season." My first goal is to be in the ., and I want to help the team go to fall baseball and win the championship.
