Primary, whose real name is Choi Dong-hoon, is a prominent South Korean producer and hip-hop artist known for his distinctive anonymity, often appearing in the public eye with a box covering his head. He made waves in the Korean music scene with his unique sound, which is a blend of R&B, funk, and hip-hop, all smoothed over with a distinctly modern K-pop sensibility. A member of the music label Amoeba Culture, Primary's career really started to take off with the release of "Primary and the Messengers LP" in 2012, which was a part of a larger project involving collaborations with various artists.

Over the years, Primary has continued to showcase his versatility as a producer through his albums and EPs. Works such as "2" and the "3-PAKTORY" series reveal his matured mastery in blending multiple genres and creating chart-topping hits. With the recent release "Primary and Pphk Pt.1," he continues to push musical boundaries, while projects like "Black Knight (Music from the Netflix Series)" display his ability to diversify and adapt his music-making for different platforms and audiences. In the ever-evolving landscape of Korean pop music, Primary remains a beacon of innovation and a sought-after producer, working with artists across a spectrum of genres to create music that resonates globally.
