As SBS's 'That Unknown' has launched a call for information 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 various 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 questions. Among them, the most prominent question that also piques my curiosity is news on Perry's well-being." He added, "I can roughly guess why he left YG and can sense it, but I cannot speak about it directly myself."

Song Baek-kyung recalled, "Around 2000 to 2002, Perry smoked cigarettes, visited Hongdae clubs with me every weekend, and drank the 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 for a new phone number, but he sternly replied, 'You don't need to know my number.' The producer who lived in Korea had somehow transformed into someone who severed ties with people and struggled alone in his personal studio."

He further stated, "We had agreed that I would create the hook while Perry composed the verse rap. However, while I was working on a track, I got sidetracked by another song, and the project ultimately fell through. There are many unfinished songs from over 20 years ago that Perry and I started together on my computer. For those who, like me, are curious about Perry's current situation and miss his voice, I am sharing this track briefly." He concluded with, "Praying for Perry's health and well-being."

Earlier, the production team of 'That Unknown' posted on the 17th: "We are seeking information 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 but last seen in Los Angeles, USA, in 2010, or from anyone able to contact his family."

The production team also released a photo of Perry. The image shows Perry with a long face, large eyes, and a slender build.

Perry was a key figure who played a major role in establishing YG Entertainment's early musical identity before it became a major agency. An American national, Perry entered the Korean music scene in the 1990s and gained recognition as an original member and producer of the 'YG Family.' He worked on songs by Jinusean, One Time, Seven, Wheesung, Lexy, and others, solidifying 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 Woo, 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 believed to be his final work related to YG. However, after being spotted in Los Angeles, USA, in 2010, Perry never appeared again, sparking disappearance suspicions among fans.
