The famous Korean producer has also worked with artists such as Big Bang, After School, and U-Kiss. For Big Bang, he arranged "Lies" and "Forever With You", as well as helped compose "Last Farewell"; he penned the lyrics, arranged, and composed After School's "Diva" and "AH", as well as dozens of other songs for various other K-pop artists.

Last month on "Beatles Code", Big Bang's Seungri revealed his fellow member G-Dragon also earns a lot from royalties. While Seungri did not disclose an actual monetary value, he disclosed that G-Dragon receives more than composer Cho Youngsoo, and is "currently considered #1 in the Copyright Association" with about 120 songs registered under his name. These registered songs include songs written for Big Bang, Taeyang, 2NE1, and Uhm Junghwa.
