Biography

Im Hyun-sik was born on March 7, 1992, in Seoul, South Korea. His father, Im Ji-hoon, is a South Korean folk singer.[4] He studied Practical Music at Howon University with group-mate Lee Chang-sub.[5]

He is known as Father of BTOB's Music because since debut period, he had showed his interest in writing lyrics, producing songs. He started really becoming and reborn as 'Producing-dol' in 2013 since the released of album Thriller where his song 'Star' was included as one of the tracks. After that, in the albums that Btob released, Im Hyunsik's self-produced songs will definitely add into one of the tracks without being left out. As a producer, his biggest advantage is having broad spectrum from folk to dance, tearing down the music boundary attempting many kinds of music. [6]
