Peakboy, whose real name is Kwon Sung-hwan, is a South Korean rapper, record producer, and singer-songwriter. Born on May 27, 1989, in Gyeyang District, Incheon, Peakboy developed an interest in music at a young age after seeing his friend Park Yong-in use a music program.

Peakboy's music is known for its trendy and original style, with lyrics that deal with his thoughts and experiences of everyday life. He has cited You Hee-yeol, Yoon Jong-shin, and Yoon Sang as his role models. in 2021, Peakboy released an electronic hip-hop single "Gyopo Hairstyle," which features cameos by model Han Hyun-min, actors Choi Woo-shik, Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, and singer V of BTS.
