Career
Music (UV)
UV is a musical/comedic duo consisting of Yoo and hip-hop artist Muzie. They are known for creating music with comedic lyrics and only promote their work through their own show on South Korean music channel, Mnet (TV channel) titled "UV Syndrome".[2][4]
UV debuted in 2010 with "No Cool, I'm Sorry", a song that depicts a break up between two lovers in a comical light. In later works, they created parodies including "Itaewon Freedom" featuring CEO of JYP Entertainment/musician Park Jin-young, and "Who am I" based on The Beatles.[5] The music video of "Convenience", also released in 2010, featured characters and artwork from Welcome to Convenience Store.[6]
In 2011, UV performed in the New Year festivities to welcome Year 2012 at Times Square (Seoul).[7]
In August 2013, UV released EP "It Can't Be True". This release marked the return of Yoo to the entertainment industry after voluntarily surrendering to police for driving under the influence in May 2013.[8]
Music (Solo)
Occasionally, Yoo releases musical parodies on various aspects of pop culture such as his second EP titled "Kkattalk" which makes fun of the South Korean instant messaging service KakaoTalk.[9]
