He made his debut in March 1994 as a solo artist with the album "Kim Jin Woo Vol. 1". The lead single, "I Am Awesome", grabbed the attention of former SEO TAIJI AND BOYS member Yang Hyun Suk, who selected him to become part of a new hip-hop duo that was set to debut at YG Entertainment (YG 엔터테인먼트).
He re-debuted in March 1997 as part of JINUSEAN with their first album, also titled "Jinusean" and their lead single, "Gasoline". However, it was not until their next single, "Tell Me" (featuring Uhm Jung Hwa), that his popularity rose and he became one of South Korea's well-known hip hop artists. Between 2004 and 2014, the duo went on an extended hiatus but remained at YG Entertainment working as producers or songwriters. They have performed together occasionally in several music-related shows and have featured as judges in rapping competitions, but have not released new material since 2015.
