About what motivated him to start hip hop, MC GREE explained, "My dad (Kim Gu Ra) always had an interest in music, so we already listened to music from the Billboard chart, which led me to also have an interest. Then I mentioned my interest on an episode of 'Radio Star' and so many people wrote hateful comments about me, and that fired me up to pursue [music]."
