Editor's note

DJ DOC, the Korean hip-hop trio with attitude

A 1990s Korean hip-hop group known for their energetic tracks and streetwise lyrics.

If you want the essence of DJ DOC, put on 'Run to You' and 'I'm a guy like this'. That's their lane.

DJ DOC helped shape Korean hip-hop's early sound with tracks that blended rap with danceable beats. Songs like 'Run to You' became club staples, while 'I'm a guy like this' captured a certain swagger that felt fresh at the time. They weren't just background music, they had a voice.

Archive material and source history

DJ DOC formed in Seoul in the early 1990s as a trio that included Kim Chang-rae, Kim Young-min, and Lee Hyun-do. They were part of the first wave of Korean hip-hop acts, and songs like 'Run to You' and 'I'm a guy like this' became hits in the mid-1990s.

Their career had some public difficulties. In 1996, Kim Young-min was arrested in a drug case, and in 2000, 'Run to You' faced plagiarism accusations from a Japanese source. The group denied those claims.

They kept releasing music through the late 1990s and early 2000s, with tracks like 'OK? OK! (Beauty and the Beast)' and 'L.i.e' appearing in their catalog. Their sound reached beyond strict hip-hop circles and found a mainstream Korean audience.
