Meanwhile, Big Joe, born in 1978 to a Korean mother and an American father, made his debut as a group Holadang in 2008 after working as a rapper in the underground for a long time. At the time, he drew attention with a weight of 250 kg. After that, I lost 100kg with Sean Lee, but I gained weight again due to the yo-yo phenomenon.
