Early life

[1] [6] After his father was transferred to Diamond Bar, California, Park attended Diamond Bar High School and became friends with future bandmate Danny Im. [2] Growing up, the two sang together at karaoke bars and tinkered with recording equipment. [7] They were discovered when they were teenagers by a producer who worked with Yang Hyun-suk, founder of YG Entertainment. [1] [7] After auditioning for Yang and sending in demo tapes, the two were signed to his newly established label, and moved to South Korea.

Career

1998–2006: Beginnings with 1TYM

Park and Danny Im were joined by rappers Jinhwan and Baekyoung and debuted as 1TYM in 1998 with the album, One Time for Your Mind. [1] It became one of the best-selling albums of the year and won several major awards. [1] [2] After the first album, Park began to have more input into the songs, and had a more prominent role in producing. In 2000, 1TYM released their second album 2nd Round. The songs "One Love" [9] and "쾌지나 칭칭" (Let's Sing and Dance Together), [10] which he wrote and produced, won first place on TV music programs. This was followed by Third Time Fo' Yo' Mind in 2001. In 2003, 1TYM released their fourth album Once N 4 All, which yielded two singles: "Hot 뜨거", [11] an up-beat hip-hop track with reggae rhythms, and "Without You", an emotional R&B ballad. [2] The group went on a two-year hiatus in which member Im embarked on a brief solo career under the name of Taebin. The group reunited for the album One Way in 2005, their fifth and last studio album, before going on hiatus due to Jinhwan's mandatory military service. [2] [8] Their albums have sold a combined total of 780,000 copies. [1] [8]

Though they were predominately hip hop artists, 1TYM was influenced by reggae and R&B. 1TYM along with the duo Jinusean were credited for bringing hip hop music and YG Entertainment to the mainstream. [2] At 22 years old, Park also began producing for other artists on the label, most of whom were much older and more experienced than him. [12]

2006–2015: Mainstream success as producer for YG Entertainment

With 1TYM on indefinite hiatus, Park transitioned into the role of producer for other YG artists, his first major contribution being "La La La" for Seven's album Sevolution. [13] He also collaborated with Big Bang for several of their songs, [3] most notably "Sunset Glow." [4] When BigBang member Taeyang embarked on a solo career in 2008, Park produced his extended play, Hot. [3] The following year, Park produced "Lollipop" for a collaboration between BigBang and 2NE1. The song went on to top the Gaon Chart during April. [14]

Park would go on to have a hand in producing a majority of 2NE1's work, including their debut extended play, 2NE1 [5] (2009) and studio album, To Anyone (2010).

In 2011, he wrote and produced 2NE1's second EP 2NE1 , scoring three number-one hits: "Lonely", "I Am the Best", and "Ugly". In the first half of 2013, Park produced Lee Hi hit single "Rose," 2NE1's leader CL's solo debut single "The Baddest Female," and Kang Seung-yoon's YG debut "Wild & Young." The following year, he wrote and produced 2ne1's second and final studio album, Crush.

In 2016, Park began working with girl group Blackpink and produced their first two single albums Square One and Square Two , consisting of number-one hit "Whistle" and top-ten hits "Boombayah", "Playing with Fire", and "Stay".

[18] [19] Participants singing and dancing to the song was released [20] and three versions of the song were released overall: a male version led by Hyojin of ONF, a female version led by Lee Sujin from Fave Entertainment, and a co-ed version performed by both teams. [21] He produced two songs for singer Sunmi: "Gashina" and "Heroine".

In 2018, there were concerns that Sunmi's "Heroine" has plagiarized Cheryl's debut solo single "Fight for This Love". [22] Sunmi's agency said that they were investigating the issue.
