The singer got popular after a couple of controversies. He featured in Korea’s Got Talent in 2011 and then grabbed a scintillating deal with the Korean label Bong Bong Company. He also published a book telling his journey from a underprivileged young man who shoots to fame. However, in 2021, his image was tarnished as he started a fraud campaign for raising funds for cancer. The campaign turned out to be a hoax.

The singer also accepted his fault and vowed to return the money.
