Jae himself garnered attention and accolade when he exploded onto the Korean music landscape as the writer, producer and member of the R&B group Solid. Jae revolutionized the Korean music industry by propelling Solid and with it the urban music genre to the forefront of popular consciousness with his mesmerizing hip-hop beats and soulful melodies and by selling excess of four million records in the short span of four years. He went on to earn critical acclaim and countless awards and credits for writing and producing for many international superstars like Coco Lee, Kim Gun Mo, Shin Seung Hoon, Stanley Huang and LA BOYZ, just to name a few.[1] In 2003 he also took part in launching the first hip hop entertainment company in Taiwan called MACHI Entertainment which helped launched many successful artists including the group Machi (hip hop group), Andrew Chou, Nicky Lee and Melody Yeung not to mention its successful clothing line “The Grandmasters.” He was also the first Korean American ever to be nominated for the Best Producer of the Year at the Golden Melody Awards and won various awards for hit albums, two of which were Stanley Huang and Nicky Lee who won the Best Male Artist of the Year award at the 2005 and 2006 Golden Melody Awards respectively.
