Background and career

Jhun was born in South Korea on February 28, 1979. He moved to New York at ten years old, where he began being interested in music. He auditioned for SM Entertainment for what would eventually become boy band Shinhwa, however he was discouraged by his parents. He later traveled back to South Korea to submit his demos, with only SM accepting his music. His first released song was "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" for Lee Hyori's album H-Logic (2010), while his first "hands-on" song was "Lucifer" for Shinee for their album of the same name.[1]

Jhun is also CEO of Ateam Entertainment, having joined in 2017 to produce for their boy group VAV. In 2021, he debuted his first girl group, BugAboo, under Ateam.[2] Jhun was awarded Best Songwriter at the 2023 Melon Music Awards.[3]

Musical style

Jhun is known for his "crossover" musical style, with his production incorporating elements from world music.[4] He also co-founded songwriting and production teams Marcan Entertainment and Musikade, and regularly collaborates with Denzil Remedios, LDN Noise, and Dem Jointz.[1][4]
