The producers of SBS investigative program Unanswered Questions have launched a public appeal seeking information on the whereabouts of rap artist and YG Entertainment founder Perry, who has been missing for 16 years. In a statement posted on their official social media, they stated, "We are seeking information from anyone who knows the current whereabouts of Perry, who was active in Korea's music scene from the mid-1990s and is reported missing after he was last seen in Los Angeles in 2010, or from anyone in contact with his family."
Perry, originally from Oakland, California, made significant contributions to the Korean hip-hop scene in the 1990s. He played a pivotal role in shaping YG Entertainment's distinctive hip-hop sound, collaborating with various artists such as Jinusean, 1TYM, Lexy, and SE7EN. In 2001, Perry released his solo rap album, but following his work on BIGBANG's 2010 Japanese single "Beautiful Hangover," he disappeared from the music scene.
The last confirmed sighting of Perry was in Los Angeles in 2010, after which he has remained missing, with no trace of his whereabouts since then.
