Shinsadong Tiger played a key role in the career of TRI.BE as an executive producer of the group. He launched the 6-member group in 2021 and has been actively promoting their comebacks on his social media as recently as two days ago. He was also the genius behind the creation of EXID. One of his iconic productions was the group’s iconic hit “Up And Down.”

Apart from these two girl groups, the producer had worked with other K-Pop heavyweights such as BEAST (“Fiction”), 4MINUTE (Hot Issue), Apink (“No No No”), T-ARA (“Roly Poly”), and Momoland (“Bboom Bboom”).
We send our deepest condolences to all who mourn his demise.
