Yang Joon-il (born 19 August 1969),also known as John Yang,Yang Joon Il,Joon-il Yang,JIY and V2,is a Korean-American singer-songwriter. Yang made his debut in 1991 with a song titled "Rebecca". He was active in South Korea from 1991 to 1993 before he had issues renewing his visa. [1] In 2001,he made a brief comeback as JIY,a member of project group V2. The song was a hit,but,at the time,agency issues prevented him from working in the entertainment industry. [2] He got back to America disappearing away from the public scene. He recently gained attention through JTBC's Two Yoo Project Sugar Man ,a program dedicated to finding and rediscovering old singers from the past. [3] [4] [5] [6] As of 2020,he is active in various fields such as fan meeting,book writing,public appearances,lectures,commercials,beauty and fashion related activities.
Yang was born in Saigon,whose current name is Ho Chi Minh City today,of Vietnam during the war on August 19,1969. His father used to work for an American travel agency and his mother was a reporter. He spent his childhood in Hong Kong,Japan,and South Korea. [7] Yang emigrated to the United States with his family at age nine and grew up in Los Angeles. He released three albums in Korea between 1991 and 2001. After one year of dating Yang married a woman with whom he fell in love at first sight in 2006 and the first son was born in 2015. [8]
When he was in Glendale High School in LA,he was persuaded to make a debut as an entertainer by the late Hollywood actor Soon-tek Oh,who was a member to the same church. [9] Yang was a soloist in his high school choir. He took classes at a modeling school to prepare for his debut. [10]
He entered University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. [11] During his studies,he was selected by Lee Bum Hee,who was the famous composer of the day in Korea. [12] Yang dropped out of school to debut as a singer in Korea in 1990. He entered Korea in the same year and studied Korean at the Yonsei Korean Language Institute.
Yang debuted in March 1991 at the age of 21 with the album,"Winter Wonderer(겨울나그네)". He debuted on the "Rookie Stage" of the MBC's music program "Saturday Night Music Show" performing "Rebecca". The second single was "Help Me Cupid". A few months later,he returned to Los Angeles to work on his 2nd album. His 2nd full length album was released in 1992. He released other hit songs like "Dance with Me Miss" (1992) and "GaNaDaRaMaBaSa" (1992). [4] [5] [6] Yang also composed most of the songs including "Love Strutter(뚜벅이사랑)" of Chul Y and Mi Ae(철이와미애)'s second album.
In 'Back to the Future" in Chul Y and Mi Ae's 2nd album dance pop and Korean traditional music were combined,which was very innovative attempt at the time.
Active in South Korea from 1991 to 1993,he suddenly disappeared from the public scene and returned to the U.S. In a 2019 interview with The Korea Times,he revealed that "he was hated by many for his unusual looks and songs." Some also threw rocks during his performance at an open-air stage. Once,Yang recalled,an audience member faked a handshake to pull him violently down to the ground from the stage,telling him:"You need a beating." [13] While a 10-year visa he held in Korea as a U.S. national had to be recertified every six months,but he was denied an extension to his visa. His nationality as an American also made it hard for him to gain acceptance in South Korea.
On April 17,2001,he made another debut as JIY,a member of a music band V2,with a third album "Fantasy". V2 meant his "Version 2". He was in active under the name of JIY instead of his real name,Yang Joon-il. He lied about his age and made a big change in his look. [14] His new song "Fantasy",composed by Valery Gaina of Cruise,enjoyed a brief popularity before he finally put an end to his music career. Due to the agency's circumstances,it became impossible to work as a musician and after that he worked as an English teacher for 14 years. In 2015,he returned to the United States. Because of his age,he had a hard time finding work. He worked as a warehouse worker,office cleaner,and restaurant server.
In 2019,he gained attention through JTBC's Two Yoo Project Sugar Man ,a program dedicated to finding and rediscovering old singers from the past. He sang "Rebecca","GaNaDaRaMaBaSa","Dance With Me Miss",and "Fantasy". Still slim in figure and soulful in his performance,he dazzled the audience and show hosts. [15] When asked his next plans amid this viral syndrome,he simply said:"I don't make any plans;I just focus on fully living every moment. If there's any plans,I hope to live as a humble husband and dad." When the show hosts asked him to give a message to 20-year-old himself living 30 years ago,Yang said:"I know nothing will happen how you want. But don't worry,everything will come out perfectly in the end." [4] After his fame skyrocketed again after his appearance on the show,he quit his job at the restaurant to focus on his entertainment career. [16]
On December 25,Christmas Day,he appeared on JTBC Newsroom. He said "It's like a dream every day","I've been trying to get rid of my prejudice against myself,which is full of my mind as if I had to abandon my unhappiness before I was happy." "There are no more tears" Yang said,adding that his powerful fandom,which claims to be a support group,is also a big boost to Yang. [17]
