Bumzu is a South Korean songwriter and record producer. Signed to Pledis Entertainment since 2013, he is best known for working with other artists under the label, including NU'EST and Seventeen. His work with the groups has been characterized by collaboration with the members of the groups, specifically Baekho for NU'EST and Woozi for Seventeen. He has also worked with Fromis 9, Pristin and TWS.
Bumzu's first solo record was the extended play (EP) Something Special (2013), which featured five tracks all written by Bumzu alongside Climxx. He has since released two further EPs, 24 (2014) and 27 (2017), and one album, Good Life (2015), all with songs written by himself alongside various collaborators.
In 2024, he won his first award for his work, at the 9th Asia Artist Awards. He was awarded "Best Producer", an award previously won by Woozi. Later that year, he was recognised by the Korea Music Copyright Association, who awarded him a grand prize for being the highest-earning songwriter for K-pop in 2023, largely for his work with Seventeen.
