Where is 1Tym?

1Tym K-Pop Korean Music

When is 1Tym coming back? That's what many netizens are asking themselves, eagerly awaiting the comeback of the original Big Bang. For those of you out of the loop, 1Tym was the original Big Bang - a 4 member hip hop group under YG Entertainment consisting of members Oh Jin Hwan, Teddy Park, Song Baek Kyoung, and Danny Im. Yes, I know Big Bang is 5 members, but you get the point.

1Tym debuted in 1998 and for many years were one of the more popular boy bands. About 3 years ago, they went on hiatus as member Oh Jin Hwan had to serve his 3 year mandatory military service. In the mean while, Baek Kyoung formed a temporary group called Moo Ga Dang (Sugarless). While Teddy and Danny moved back to where they grew up, California. Teddy and Danny focused primarily on the background scene for YG Entertainment (producing and writing songs). Se7en temporarily lived with them, to prepare and practice his English for his eventual American debut. Teddy and Danny would come to Korea and perform randomly with fellow YG Entertainment artists, mainly Big Bang. Teddy was also recently featured in Tae Yang's single, Prayer.

With Jin Hwan's discharge from the military nearing, netizens are now asking when or if 1Tym is coming back. Some are speculating that it'll be November 28, 2008 - which would be the 10th anniversary of 1Tym. While others are saying it should be some time in 2009. Either way, I hope they do return and return soon... They're the only ones at YG that made good music, besides Jinusean. They could teach Big Bad Bang a thing or two on how to make half decent music.

One Love MV, from their second album back in 2000:

ALLKPOP… you just contradicted YOURSELF…
u said 1tym made a lot of BIGBANG’s music…or help made a lot of BB’s music… then why r u saying that BB’s song ARENT music?
quit bashing BIGBANG…they do way better than the other band in Korea…ss501 for example… no offense.. but their music kinda sux.

I’m not contradicting. Teddy does some of the producing for YG (and barely any Big Bang songs). But Listen to 1Tym’s music and Big Bang’s music, there’s a big difference in quality. It’s all personal preference though.

It’s kind of how some hip hop heads think hip hop is dying because of all the souljah boy crap (the quality of music is decreasing).

ok you just contradiction yourself dumbass! teddy produces alot of material for yg artists especially big bang. danny does alot of vocal work with them also and jinusean works in the background with big bang. so how are you going to say that 1tym/jinusean makes good music and they need to teach big bang when their bascially all like a family and they do shit for each other’s albums? johnny just want a reason to hate on big bang. forreal get over it already damn!

Get yo mind right, is your mind right? I dont see where you got johnny from and I dont see where it says 1tym is hip hop. Also 1tym music isnt that good, its just that big bang music is so bad that 1tym sounds good compared to them. The only real hip hop people that became popular in korea was drunken tiger.

I can’t wait for their comeback (if they do have one).
I really do miss them!! I believe they have been on hiatus
for approximately 4 years (correct me if I’m wrong)?

Teddy is my husband <3 *faints*

@ Get yo mind right:

1. Teddy produces a lot of material for YG but only one or two songs for. It was actually Perry who does all the producing for BB.

2. Danny does not do any vocal work with them. Where are you getting your information?  Danny came back to Korea in Dec 08. He was in LA and traveling when BB were doing their activities.

I would kill YG if they’re not given a chance. As much i like to admit that BIG BANG has recently marked a spot for itself in the industry, 1TYM are real music makers!

1TYM-FOH-UR-MIND, Teddy & Perry aren’t the same person. Perry isn’t even full Korean and he’s from Guam. Danny & Taebin are the same person (taebin being his korean name).

w.e. - they didn’t produce much music for Big Bang. Teddy did produce one or two songs for Big Bang, but most of Big Bang’s entire library of music was produced by Perry.

PERRY and TEDDY are not the same person.  Umm Yeah I know Danny/Taebin are the same person, Danny is his english name.

I LOVE 1TYM, especially Taebin, nice to hear news. as long as they come back, i can wait.

BUT. 1tym producer teddy is alread responsible for alot of big bang songs.—“ why must you diss big bang when 1Tym and Big Bang represent the same thing but are different personality wise.

1TYM was awsome! We need the oldschool YG back. Perry should start performing again, I can’t wait for Gummy to recover, and what the hell happened to Jinusean’s new song? They performed it ONCE and I never heard about it again. Big Bang needs more damn Korean songs too!!! >.<  1TYM is definitely one of YG’s best artists. Hopefully they will come back soon. I doubt they’ll retire/disband. Rappers stick around longer than singers do.

I loved 1Tym and I liked Sugarless too.
One Love is one of their best songs, in my opinion.

I really hope that they do make a new single!

reading all your comments is really entertaining…
i won’t get tired of visiting this site.
the best fight is always about Big Bang.
i too like big bang..esp. the appearance their music is good too but
they are just too similar.GD’s style of rapping and TOP’s rapping too are always the same.
TO ALL BB FANS now that you are defending big bang please do not admit too that these seniors of them help them so much..it’s like telling other people that they are really not original..and they can’t make their own music without thier seniors help…nuff said.

^ thinkfirst—I totally agree.  I am a big bang fan and its so funny when I read people bashing them.  They are a a hip hop inspired boy band.  they are not stevie wonder.  is some of there music repetitive, do they use sampling and remakes ...of course.  So does most pop out there regardless of its country of origin.  Heck Puffy/Puff Daddy/P.Diddy made an entire 300 mill empire off of sampling and copying.  If you don’t like it don’t listen,  Big Bang makes fun music.  There have never purported to make the more concious hip-hop like say drunken tiger or common.  If 1Tym comes back that will be just more fun good music out there.

just my two cents

little kids who know nothing about 1TYM and only know how to rave about good-for-nothing Big Bang should shut up and go to school.

if not for 1TYM, Big Bang wouldn’t even exist today.

do you get my point, kids?

I think Big Bang is all right, but TOP has always felt like a Teddy wannabe.  1TYM was amazing as a group and put out some great music, and they separated themselves from the rest of the boy bands out there by doing their own thing.  As much as I would love another solo from Taebin/Danny or heck, finally a solo release for Teddy, I’d be more than happy to see 1TYM return and kick the kids out, show them how it’s done.

^Totally agree w/ Zeeny. They had a distinct stlye that made them stand out. IMO, they’re still not too old to start making songs again. I don’t think the article is calling Big Bang “unoriginal” but rather a 2nd generation 1TYM. I still think they’re the BEST YG group/artist to this day. Big Bang is good but I don’t think they’ll surpass 1TYM music-wise. As cool as their solo works are, I would be happier with a 1TYM comeback as well.

i kinda agree with the poster above me. 1tym ain’t gangsta and sometimes their poseuring can be nauseating, but they still produce some great hits. i dunno they’re more HIP POP to me than wu tang, krs-one hip hop.

#48 I guess you didn’t read the comments. Teddy never wrote any of Big Bang songs, and produced one or two songs in total for them, so how does that not make sense?
