[2][3][4] DJ Tukutz first met Tablo and Mithra Jin through his association with Movement [ko], one of the most prominent underground hip hop crews in Seoul that included the likes of Drunken Tiger and CB Mass.
Promotions for their sixth studio album, released in September 2009, were cut short as DJ Tukutz's enlistment date was unexpectedly pushed forward to October.
[10] Unlike Tablo and Mithra Jin, DJ Tukutz has no rap lines and takes on the role of the main producer overseeing the musical direction of album releases and post-production.
[11] Initially, he was only meant to serve as the group's DJ during live performances and began taking on the role of both producer and audio engineer from the second album onwards as a "cost-saving measure".
[15] On October 15, 2009, DJ Tukutz enlisted for mandatory military service at the 306th Replacement Battalion in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province.
