Disappearance of YG Entertainment producer Perry

Overview

The disappearance of Perry, an American rapper and producer who shaped the early musical identity of YG Entertainment, has gained renewed public attention. Perry, who worked with foundational artists including Jinusean, 1TYM, Lexy, and BIGBANG, has not been seen since 2010, when he was reportedly last located in Los Angeles.

Following an appeal by the SBS investigative program ‘Unanswered Questions’ to locate the producer, former 1TYM member Song Baek-kyung shared observations regarding Perry’s lifestyle, noting he had become increasingly reclusive around 2003.

As the case resurfaces, Song Baek-kyung has publicly criticized a shaman for making speculative claims regarding Perry’s fate, specifically condemning suggestions that the producer might be deceased. Song characterized such remarks as speaking “recklessly about the lives of the living and the dead” and expressed continued hope for Perry’s well-being.
