-- He chose CREAM as his moniker long before joining DPR. He was inspired by Wu Tang Clan's song "C.R.E.A.M." which means "cash rules everything around me." 

​

-- He debuted in 2012 as part of South Korean group LAYBACKSOUND alongside Han-Gyeol and U-Turn (YouTube channel).

​

– Released first songs as DPR Cream on 2-song EP The Voyager 737 on July 5, 2019. When he joined DPR, Cream had no plans of becoming an individual artist, but some of his tracks led to a discussion among DPR members for him to debut as one.

​

-- His audio signature "Yo, Is This Cream?" is actually spoken by DPR Cline. 

​

-- Cream invented the concept "zero gravity state." It's when a song is loud and then drops to quiet all of the sudden, giving minimal sound at the end. He likes to use this technique in his songs for contrast. (source)
