On November 9, 1984, Choi Dong-Wook came into the world and later emerged as South Korean pop singer Se7en under the YG Entertainment roster, earning broad popularity across Asia. His live work extended beyond numerous Asian stages to include shows in the United States, together with guest spots on television programs and in commercials. The 2003 release Just Listen marked his debut album and reached the top ten. Three further Korean-market albums followed—Must Listen in 2004, 24/Se7en in 2006, and Se7olution in 2006—plus the Japanese full-length First Se7en, also issued in 2006. An English-language album remained in development as of early 2008.
