Lee Ho-yang (born June 3, 1983), known professionally as Shinsadong Tiger, is a South Korean music producer and songwriter. Even after debuting in 2001 at the age of 18, he has worked many odd jobs to fund his music career.[2] He has become a prominent figure in the Korean pop music industry and is responsible for a number of popular songs.[3] In 2010, he was named the "New Generation Producer" at the 18th Korean Culture Entertainment Awards,[4] and in 2011 he was named as one of the most influential figures in the South Korean music industry by OSEN.[5] Lee has also started his own label, AB Entertainment, in which he has debuted his own girl group, EXID.[6]

Biography

Lee was born in 1983 in Gwangyang, South Korea, where he attended an elementary school in Pohang. He began his fascination with music in junior high,[7] and has auditioned for JYP Entertainment but was rejected.

Career

After debuting at the age of 19, Lee began to rise to prominence for his work with K-Pop artists. Although he has composed for various artists, he has also gained prominence for his role in managing girl group EXID as well as the opening of the Modern K Music Academy.[8] He has received criticism for his emphasis on following trends in popular music and producing commercial music for "idols".[3][9] Lee has admitted to often use arbitrary inspiration for his composition style, including toilet rolls as his inspiration for the hook-heavy "Bo Peep Bo Peep".[10]

In 2011, he released his own self-produced single, "Supermarket – The Half", in which Yoon Doo-joon, Yong Jun-hyung and Lee Gi-kwang of BEAST are featured on the track "Should I Hug Or Not?" (Korean: 안을까 말까). In 2012, he released his new album, "Supermarket – Another Half", included tracks “Over and Over” by 4minute,[11] “Stop Doing That” by G.NA, and “In the Cloud“, a solo track by B2ST member Son Dong-woon. “In The Cloud” released at April 24, 00:00 KST.

In May 2014, Wellmade Yedang became the largest shareholder in Shinsadong Tiger's entertainment agency, Cashmere Records.[12]

In 2018, he worked on the music production of Idol Producer.[13] He composed and arranged Momoland's hit song "Bboom Bboom" (뿜뿜).[14]

In 2021, Lee teamed up with frequent collaborator LE to form and debut the group Tri.be.[15]
