The Mysterious 14-Year Absence of YG’s Iconic Composer

A post titled “YG Composer Missing for Over 10 Years” has resurfaced on the popular Korean forum theqoo, attracting over 93, 000 views. This revival has reignited concern regarding the puzzling disappearance of Perry, an influential composer associated with YG Entertainment, whose contributions shaped the musical landscape of the early 2000s.

Perry played a critical role in creating some of YG’s most memorable tracks during the late 1990s and early 2000s, crafting hits for prominent artists such as Jinusean, 1TYM, Se7en, Lexy, and Wheesung. His work is credited in various notable songs, including 1TYM‘s “One Time” and BigBang‘s early tracks like “Wrong Number” and “How Gee.”

However, since 2010, Perry has mysteriously vanished from the public eye.

Disappearance Timeline: 2010

As reported by Perry’s nephew, the last verified sighting occurred in Los Angeles in 2010. Following this, neither family nor colleagues have been able to make contact. A missing person report was filed with the U. S.Department of State as the inability to confirm his final location hindered the filing of a regular police report. Despite the family’s outreach to law enforcement, they received little assistance.

Originally, there was speculation that Perry, known for his reclusive nature, chose to live away from the public eye. However, the alarm was raised when he did not attend significant family events, including funerals.

Now, over 14 years later, the family has initiated a public search for Perry, but they tread carefully due to underlying fears about what might be uncovered during their search.

Adding to this complexity, former YG producers Masta Wu and Choice37 suggested that Perry may not be in South Korea, which clashes with the family’s belief that he might have quietly returned. Speculation also exists that he could still be in the United States, yet credible leads remain scarce.

Perry’s Musical Journey and Legacy

Perry’s last significant work with YG Entertainment was in 2010, and by 2013, he was no longer under contract. His absence has been felt by artists and collaborators, many of whom have expressed frustration at their inability to contact him, often hearing only vague mentions of rumors suggesting he returned to the U. S.

Due to privacy laws, if Perry is alive and prefers to keep his location private, authorities, unfortunately, cannot disclose this information, even to his family.

Fans and insiders in the music industry are now voicing their support and sharing tributes, simultaneously grieving for a creative force who significantly influenced the K-pop era.

Comments on theqoo include:

No way.
Wow. They have family too…
He’s someone I’m really curious about… what he’s been up to.
There are actually quite a few celebrities who suddenly disappear without a trace, makes me think of Kim Gyu-ri (Kim Moon-sun).I just think “no news is good news.”
Oh my god…
I never thought of it this way before, but is there really no way to find out through this? What’s even more shocking is that I remember seeing this post years ago and yet there’s still no trace. What on earth could’ve happened?

Despite the ongoing mystery, one fact remains clear: Perry’s influence endures through the iconic sounds that define YG Entertainment’s golden era, even while questions surrounding his absence linger.
