Samuel Kim Arredondo, an exceptionally talented American singer, has left an indelible mark on the vibrant South Korean music scene, showcasing his remarkable versatility and range. Born on January 17, 2002, this extraordinary artist initially garnered widespread recognition as Punch, a pivotal member of the now-defunct hip hop duo 1Punch, which was actively producing music from 2015 onwards.
Samuel's journey in the spotlight began in April 2017, when he participated in the highly popular reality television series Produce 101 Season 2, offering a glimpse into his remarkable talents and skills to a broader audience.
Although he ultimately ranked 18th on the final episode, falling short of securing a spot in the show's project group, Samuel's determination and perseverance in the face of adversity were truly inspiring.
Rather than letting his disappointment deter him from pursuing his dreams, Samuel decided to focus on a solo career, and on August 2, just a month after the show had concluded, he released his debut EP, Sixteen, to the world.
