Trivia:

• Met ZICO in third year of middle school while studying abroad. They went to the same high school and university and have known each other for over ten years.
• Initially gave up on becoming an artist but revived his dream five years later.
• His artist name comes from the Japanese phrase “ぺんを” (read: “pen-o“) which is the word “pen” plus the object particle and means that something is done with a pen, e.g. writing lyrics. The “-meco” is short for “made in Korea” (“메이드 인 코리아”).
