Legend Seo Taiji formerly of Taiji & The Boys turned 37 yesterday. On his homepage he left a message for all his fans saying that it's scary that's he's inching towards death. He also said he will enjoy Meyuck Guk (Seaweed soup). He also stated that he's looking forward to his comeback in the near future.

Some back history on Seo Taiji & The Boys, if you aren't familiar with them. Seo Taiji & The Boys were a collaboration of three young men from different walks of life. Seo Taiji & The Boys were composed of the lead Singer Seo Taiji, and the two dancers Lee Juno and Yang Hyun Suk. Seo Taiji was in a band called Sinawe, at 17 he dropped out of school because he felt the school system was corrupting the minds of the youth. Shortly thereafter, Sinawe broke up and he discovered Lee Juno (Whom unfortunately became a bum) and Yang Hyun Suk (Whom later formed YG Entertainment) to form the dance group Seo Taiji & The Boys.

This was a critical moment, as they forever changed the music landscape in Korea. They were essentially the founders of KPOP. They were one of the first to write about issues in Korea and dance over rap beats. They became the most famous artists in Korea & dominated all awards, and record sales for almost a decade. They used various genre's of music, from dance rap, to rock n' roll, to heavy metal, to gangsta rap. They're legends and if not for them, the Korean music landscape could've looked very different. Their impact & influence is immeasurable. Happy Birthday to the legend Seo Taiji.
