Kang Hyo Won, known professionally as Pdogg, is a South Korean record producer, composer, and lyricist for Big Hit Music. In 2007, he began collaborating with Big Hit Enterntainment’s CEO Bang Si-hyuk by uploading his own personal compositions in an online composing community. The music was well received, and Pdogg’s track "Come Back" was included on co-ed group 8Eight’s debut studio album "The First" and his track "Love" was included in Lim Jeong-hee’s third studio album "Before I Go, J-Lim". In 2010, with the help of rapper Sleepy, Pdogg discovered a young RM, around whom the formation of boy group BTS later began, and brought him to Big Hit. He eventually became the group’s main producer. Pdogg was honored by the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) and awarded the grand award as the highest-earning songwriter and composer of 2018. He has consecutively won the award every year since then by earning the most royalties for songwriting and composition out of all Korean composers and lyricists.
