Park was born in South Korea and moved with his family to Long Island, New York, when he was about 12 years old.[1] He studied biology at Boston College and worked as a dental assistant post-graduation. Park was later employed at a web development company.[6]
In 2016, Park returned to Korea in pursuit of his music career after Jay Park reached out to him via Instagram to join his newly formed record label, H1GHR MUSIC. As the three keywords he pursues in his music are truth, positivity, and experience, his work contains positive or honest messages, generally excluding references to drugs, money bragging and excessive "flexing", and explicit sexual content.[7]
