As SBS's 'That Unknown' has launched a call for tips regarding Perry (Perry Thomas Borja), an early YG Entertainment rapper and producer who has been missing for 16 years, past remarks by Song Baek-kyung, a former One Time member who shared the same pot with Perry at the time, are being re-examined.
Song Baek-kyung mentioned several anecdotes about Perry in a lengthy post last July.
Song Baek-kyung said, "Due to the recent surge in submissions, many people have asked me various questions. Among them, the most prominent question that also piques my own curiosity is about Perry's well-being." He added, "I can roughly guess why he left YG and have figured it out on my own, but I cannot speak of it directly from my mouth."
Song Baek-kyung recalled, "Around 2000 to 2002, Perry smoked cigarettes, visited Hongdae clubs with me every weekend, and drank the extremely harsh tequila until we were completely drunk together. When working on Lexy's first album released in 2003, Perry suddenly quit smoking and drinking and cut off all contact with his known acquaintances." He continued, "I asked Perry to give me his new number, but he sternly replied, 'You don't need to know my number.' The person who lived as a producer in Korea somehow changed into a character who cut off ties with people and struggled alone in his personal studio, always working tirelessly."
He further stated, "We had agreed that Perry would write the verse rap and I would create the hook. However, while I was making the track, I got sidetracked by another song, and it ultimately fell through. Inside my computer, there are truly many unfinished songs from over 20 years ago that I worked on with Perry. For those who, like me, are curious about Perry's current situation and miss his voice, I am uploading this track briefly." He concluded, "Praying for Perry's health and peace."

Earlier, the production team of 'That Unknown' posted on the 17th: "We are waiting for tips from anyone who knows the current whereabouts of rapper and producer Perry (Perry Thomas Borja), known to have been active in Korea since the mid-1990s and last seen in Los Angeles, USA, in 2010 before going missing."
The production team also released a photo of Perry. Perry had an elongated face, large eyes, and a slender build.
Perry was a key figure who played a major role in solidifying the early musical identity of YG Entertainment before it grew into a major agency. An American national, Perry entered the Korean music scene in the 1990s and became known as an original member and producer of the 'YG Family.' He worked on songs by Jinusean, One Time, Seven, Wheesung, Lexy, and others, helping to establish YG's signature hip-hop sound.
Perry released a solo album in 2001, showcasing tracks supported by rappers such as G-Dragon, Sean, and Master Wu, and also performed as a rapper.
Perry participated in producing numerous tracks during BIGBANG's early debut period, and the Japanese promotional song 'Beautiful Hangover,' released in 2010, is reported to be his last work related to YG. However, Perry has not appeared since the 2010 sighting in Los Angeles, USA, sparking disappearance suspicions among fans.
