DJ D.O.C. is a South Korean hip-hop trio consisting of members Kim Chang-yeol, Lee Ha-neul and Jung Jae-yong. DJ D.O.C. stands for Dream Of Children. DJ DOC released their first album, Sorrow of Superman, in 1994. During a time when Korean hip hop was still largely underground, they went on to experience great commercial success and many of their singles, including "Dance with DOC" (1997) and "Run to You" (2000) are now considered well-known iconic K-pop songs.{{cite news|title=A peek into the hip-hop music scene of Korea|url=http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=122196|publisher=Korea.net|date=2014-10-15}}{{cite web|url=http://rki.kbs.co.kr/english/program/program_artist_detail.htm?No=10198-title=DJ|title=DJ DOC|publisher=KBS World Radio|access-date=2014-06-18}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.allkpop.com/article/2012/04/way-back-wednesday-the-original-bad-boys-of-k-pop-dj-doc|title=Way Back Wednesday : The Original Bad Boys of K-Pop "DJ DOC"|date=2012-04-18|website=Allkpop|access-date=2016-05-31}}
Initially an underground group, DJ DOC became known to mainstream audiences for the satirical content of their lyrics, which often criticized societal injustices and overtly used profanity. It garnered them both popularity and criticism during the mid to late 1990s; their songs became well known to a younger generation already disgruntled with the government's strict censorship rules regarding free speech but was also censored by radio and television stations for the provocative lyrics.{{cite news|title=DJ Doc returns with a musical about their life|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2939438|work=Korea JoongAng Daily|date=July 28, 2011}}
History
The original band debuted with Park Jung-hwan, but he left the group after the release of the first album due to disagreement between the members. After his departure, he started his own car dealership.{{cite web|url=http://www.soompi.com/2011/11/16/dj-doc-apologizes-for-their-insensitive-comments-after-being-filed-a-lawsuit/|title=DJ DOC Apologizes for Insensitive Comments After Being Filed a Lawsuit|date=2011-11-16|access-date=2014-06-18|publisher=Soompi}}
