Who is Hoody?
Hoody, or Kim Hyun-jung, is a South Korean singer-songwriter. She debuted in 2013 as a member of the all-underground hip hop crew Amourette. However, she felt that it was too difficult to adapt as a member of a hip-hop group, and in 2015 she became the first female artist to sign to the AOMG hip hop record label.
AOMG is an acronym that stands for Above Ordinary Music Group or Always On My Grind, and is a record label founded by Jay Park. Hoody is also often referred to as AOMG Queen, because she is the only woman who joined the AOMG label. Besides having a good voice, Hoody also has her own genre of music that suits her. Given all these reasons, you can easily imagine why she received great attention as the first female artist in AOMG.

She also revealed why everyone called her Hoody. “I’m in a hoody lot, so Hoody was naturally became my name. I was in a hip hop group in college. Ja Mezz of ‘Show Me the Money’ was a member, andhe said, ‘You should make a rap name too.’ I was wearing a hoody, of course, so I went with Hoody.” That makes perfect sense!
