He started as a singer in the '90s with tracks like 'Don't Leave Me'. Later, he focused on producing and running JYP Entertainment, launching acts like Wonder Girls and Twice. Songs like 'I'm So Sexy' with Yoo Jae Suk kept his own voice in the mix.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
