He wrote songs for BIGBANG.
Perry was once a prominent composer and producer during the early days of YG Entertainment, played a key role in shaping the label’s iconic sound. He was known for writing and producing songs for top-tier artists such as Jinusean, 1TYM, Se7en, Lexy, and Wheesung. Among his most famous works are Lexy’s “Aesong-i” and 1TYM’s “One Time for Your Mind.” He was also involved in producing several debut tracks for BIGBANG, including songs like “We Belong Together.”
However, despite his immense contributions to the Korean music industry, Perry has been missing since 2010. According to reports, his last known appearance was in South Korea in 2010. After that, he reportedly left for the United States and completely cut off contact with colleagues and family members. Since 2013, there have been no contracts, activities, or confirmed sightings.
In 2021, according to an anonymous post believed to be from someone close to Perry, he was declared missing. The family filed a missing person report in the United States, but there has been no progress or updates from the authorities. One user on a forum claimed that family members had even searched in areas where people had been seen living off-grid or homeless, but Perry was never found.
Some speculate that he may be living anonymously in a completely different environment. One person claiming to be a close acquaintance posted on the fan site Choice 37 that Perry’s whereabouts remain entirely unknown and that even those who toured with him in the past have no information. Despite hopes and various searches, no concrete leads have surfaced.
It’s now been over a decade since his disappearance, and although fans and family have not given up, the case remains a mystery. Authorities have stated that unless Perry himself reaches out or is located, there is little they can do due to his U.S. citizenship and the absence of evidence indicating foul play.
