Kim Jung-gu (, born March 6, 1990), known professionally as R.Tee (), is a South Korean record producer, songwriter, and DJ formerly signed with The Black Label. He has produced songs for artists including Big Bang, Blackpink, iKon, and Winner.
Early life Kim Jung-gu was born on March 6, 1990 (February 10, 1990 by the lunar calendar). He liked Radiohead when he was young, so he felt happy when he saved money and bought a Radiohead T-shirt. Later, he wanted to always be happy no matter what music he did, so he shortened "Radiohead T-shirt" into "R.Tee" and began to use it as his stage name. He became interested in electronica after watching Deadmau5 perform. He studied Korean painting in college.
Career In 2014, R.Tee released his debut single "We Got the World". In 2015, he appeared on the DJ competition TV show Headliner. He signed to Dee Company, an entertainment agency founded by Yoon Do-hyun. In 2019, he released the single "What Are You Waiting For" with Anda, which received critical acclaim. In 2022, he appeared on Show Me the Money 11 as judge and producer.
In 2025, R.Tee left The Black Label and started his own record label, RTST Label.
In October 2025, French singer Yseult accused him and singer Soyeon of plagiarizing her music video.
