Yuk Ji-dam (Hangul: 육지담); born March 10, 1997, sometimes known as Jidam (지담) or Yukji (육지), is a South Korean rapper from Daegu. She gained popularity with her participation on the Hip Hop TV competitions Show Me The Money and Unpretty Rapstar. She returned to Unpretty Rapstar 3 as a contestant.

Early life

Yuk Ji-dam was born in Daegu on March 10, 1997. In the years she attended school, she was reportedly bullied and made fun of because of her dark skin.[2] Eventually, she grew inspired by Yoon Mi-rae's song "Black Happiness", which is about growing half-black in an Asian conservative country. This led to her interest in hip hop music.
