1TYM’s Teddy rejects offer to work with Lady Gaga for 2NE1

It has been disclosed that Teddy, originally a member of hip-hop group 1TYM and now an active producer, rejected an offer to work with Lady Gaga, a pop-singer who is gaining the most popularity in the United States today.

Yang Hyun Suk, the president of YG Entertainment in which Teddy and 2NE1 are affiliated with, revealed, “A few months ago, Teddy and I attended a meeting with Jimmy Iovine, the representative of Interscope,” and, “After listening to songs that Teddy produced, Iovine asked if Teddy could produce a song for Lady Gaga.”

Interscope, composed of Lady Gaga as well as Black Eyed Peas, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Limp Bizkit, and a great number of popular artists, is the biggest entertainment company in the United States.

Additionally, Yang Hyun Suk said, “However, at that time Teddy could only reject the offer to work with Lady Gaga because he was working on 2NE1’s debut album,” and “Because he rejected all outside offers and focused more on 2NE1’s album, we could see good results.”

Teddy produced various hit songs such as TaeYang’s ‘Look at Only Me,’ Uhm JungHwa’s ‘Disco,’ and Big Bang’s ‘Sunset Glow’ last year and ‘Lollipop,’ which swept up all 1st places on music charts without any special broadcast activities, recently. His skills have surfaced once again with 2NE1’s debut song, ‘Fire,’ which he produced and is gathering attention by taking 1st places on music ranks.

Hm? i don't know Lady Gaga at all xD

first of all I love Lady Gaga! Love her poker face and starstruck song. Wow! Teddy is really amazing, but I heard that 2ne1 will gonna meet Jimmy Iovine this coming end of the month *gasp* sheez i'm so excited for the girls. Go back to Teddy, I think he did a great job even though he rejected Lady G offers.

its a great opportunity for him to be well known in united states... but its good that he picked to work in korean and YG instead. he's very talented so there's always gonna be an offer for him outside korea. its just that right now is not the time.
