1tym has been widely popular in Korea and Asia since the release of their first single and album, "One Time For Your Mind". The group's fresh hip-hop beats and R&B versatility (noteably their ease in transitioning from rap to soulful R&B) has won them success and to date they have released five albums: "One Time For Your Mind" (1998), "2nd Round" (2000), "Third Time Fo' Yo' Mind" (2001), "Once N 4 All" (2003), and "ONEWAY" (2005). 1TYM has also collaborated with the likes of fellow YG Family members, Jinusean and Lexy, and Big Mama, among others.
Following the release and promotion period of their latest album, "ONEWAY", 1TYM will be on hiatus for a few years due to Oh Jinhwan's mandatory military service. Teddy is working on his first solo album and Danny is planning the release of his second. Baekkyoung has now joined the group Moogadang.
