Career

250 is a DJ who has been active in Itaewon for a long time.[1][clarification needed] He released the single "다시 부르기" in 2013, and his first studio album One Night Stand was released in 2014.[2][3] He first announced the release of his second album Ppong in 2016, but it took six years before it was released.[4] As a producer, he has worked with E Sens, Kim Ximya, NCT 127, Itzy and NewJeans.[4][5]

His second studio album, Ppong, was released on March 18, 2022. He received critical acclaim for his reinterpretation of trot and ppongjjak, the genres that were regarded as old-fashioned in South Korea.[6] Along with the album's release, he released the documentary Finding Ppong (뽕을 찾아서), which featured cameos from Han Sangcheol of Bulssazo, saxophonist Lee Jeongsik and keyboardist Kim Sooil.[7] He won four awards at the 2023 Korean Music Awards: Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Electronic Album of the Year, and Electronic Song of the Year.[8]

250 has produced "Attention", "Hype Boy", "Hurt", "Ditto", "ETA", "Get Up", "ASAP", "How Sweet", "Bubble Gum" and "Supernatural" for the K-pop group NewJeans.[9] He remixed several tracks originally from NewJeans's EP New Jeans and single album OMG for their first remix album NJWMX, released in December 2023.[10]
