Lee Ho-yang (June 3, 1983 – February 23, 2024), known professionally as Shinsadong Tiger, was a South Korean music producer and songwriter. After debuting in 2001 at the age of 18, he still worked several odd jobs to fund his music career.[2] He was a known 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 one of the most influential figures in the South Korean music industry by OSEN.[5] Lee also started his own label, AB Entertainment, in which he debuted his own girl group, EXID.[6]

Early life

[edit]

Lee Ho-yang was born on June 3, 1983, in Pohang, South Korea,[7] where he attended elementary school. He began his fascination with music during junior high.[8] He auditioned for JYP Entertainment but was rejected.[9]

Career

[edit]

After debuting at the age of 19, Lee began to rise to prominence for his work with K-Pop artists. Apart from composing for various artists, he was also noted for his role in managing the girl group EXID as well as the opening of the Modern K Music Academy.[10] He was criticized for his emphasis on following trends in popular music and producing commercial music for "idols".[3][11] Lee started to use arbitrary inspiration for his composition style, including toilet rolls as his inspiration for the hook-heavy "Bo Peep Bo Peep".[12]

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,[13] "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.[14]

In May 2014, Wellmade Yedang became the largest shareholder in Shinsadong Tiger's entertainment agency, Cashmere Records.[15]

In 2018, he worked on the music production of Idol Producer.[16] He composed and arranged Momoland's hit song "Bboom Bboom" (뿜뿜).[17]

In 2021, Lee teamed up with frequent collaborator Elly to form and debut the group Tri.be.[18]
