Why did Perry leave YG? Former 1TYM member's cryptic comments resurface

Former 1TYM member Song Baek-kyung's cryptic comments about Perry, the longtime producer at YG Entertainment, are drawing renewed interest after a SBS investigative program sought public information on the producer, whose whereabouts have been unknown for years. In January, Song posted a lengthy message on his social media account reflecting on his relationship with Perry and the abrupt changes he observed more than two decades ago.

Song stated that the most pressing question, one that many people have been asking him, is how Perry is doing. He expressed his own curiosity about the matter. While he couldn't provide direct answers, Song hinted at having an idea as to why Perry eventually left YG Entertainment. However, he refrained from revealing specifics, adding another layer of mystery to Perry's disappearance from public view.

Recalling their interactions around 2000 to 2002, Song mentioned that Perry smoked cigarettes and would regularly join him for nights out.
