Early life
San E was born on January 23, 1985, in South Korea. He moved with his family to Atlanta, Georgia, US, when he was a middle school student because his parents had been struggling financially as a result of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.[11] He attended the University of Georgia, where he majored in graphic design.[12]
Career
2008–2009: Mixtapes and underground fame
San E released his first mixtapes Ready To Be Signed and Ready To Be Famous in 2008 and 2009, respectively. As a way to draw attention to his self-released music, San E jokingly dissed established underground rapper Verbal Jint in one of his songs. The diss brought him attention from the Korean hip hop community and from Verbal Jint himself, who invited San E to join his hip hop crew, Overclass.[2][13][14]
2010–2012: JYP Entertainment and Everybody Ready?
Still unsigned, San E won Best Hip Hop Song at the 2010 Korean Music Awards for the track "Rap Genius."[15] Soon after, he became the first solo rapper to sign with JYP Entertainment, one of the "big three" records labels in the k-pop industry.[16] That September, he released his first mini-album, Everybody Ready?, which featured fellow JYP Entertainment artists Min (of Miss A), and Joo and Yeeun (of Wonder Girls). He debuted several days later on the television music show, M Countdown, with his single "Tasty San," featuring Min.[17] In November, San E started another round of promotions for the single, "LoveSick," the music video for which starred label mate Sohee of Wonder Girls.[18][unreliable source?]
In 2011, San E released several singles, including "Please Don't Go," a collaboration with rapper Outsider and singer Lee Changmin (of 2AM).[19][unreliable source?] The song reached #14 on the Gaon Digital Chart, making it his highest charted song while contracted under JYP Entertainment.[20] He also collaborated that year with Verbal Jint, Beenzino, Swings, and other artists on the single "Stand Up, Japan!" which benefited Japan's relief efforts after the Tohoku tsunami.[21][unreliable source?]
2013–2018: Brand New Music and top ten success
In April 2013, San E ended his contract with JYP Entertainment, saying that he was leaving on good terms.[22][unreliable source?] That June, he joined hip hop label, Brand New Music, home to his Overclass crew mate, Verbal Jint.[23][unreliable source?] San E achieved his first #1 hit on the Gaon Digital Chart with the song, "Story of Someone I Know," from the album 'Not' Based on the True Story.[24][unreliable source?][25] His next three singles, "Where Did You Sleep?" (feat. Verbal Jint and Swings), "Break-Up Dinner" (feat. Sanchez of Phantom), and "What's Wrong With Me" (feat. Kang Min Hee), all reached the top ten of the Gaon Digital Chart.[26][27][28] San E's success continued with the single "A Midsummer Night's Sweetness," a collaboration with Raina (of After School). The song was an instant hit and achieved #1 on ten music charts shortly after its debut.[29][unreliable source?] The song went on to win awards that year at the Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards, the MelOn Music Awards, and the Seoul Music Awards.[30][unreliable source?][31][unreliable source?][32][unreliable source?] His next single, "Body Language" (featuring Bumkey), was also a #1 hit, topping both the Gaon Digital Chart and seven Korean real-time music charts shortly after its release, despite its 19+ rating.[33][unreliable source?][34] In June 2017, San E was featured in Hyoyeon's single "Wannabe".[35] San E was also the rap mentor for KBS2's survival show, The Unit.[36]
