'''Yoo Dae-joon''' ({{Korean|유대준}}; January 6, 1977), known by his stage name '''Defconn''', is a South Korean rapper and television personality.<ref>[http://people.search.naver.com/search.naver?sm=tab_txc&where=people_profile&ie=utf8&query=%EB%8D%B0%ED%94%84%EC%BD%98&os=170872 "Defconn"], ''Naver''.</ref>

==Biography==

===2004===
In 2004, Defconn received the [[Korean Music Awards|Korean Music Award]] for "Best Hip-Hop Album". His songs are mostly comical, sometimes involving lyrics about sexual attraction and wishing for more popularity. One song of his, though, centered on the [[Yangju highway incident]] in which two South Korean girls lost their lives to an American military [[tank (vehicle)|tank]], which sparked [[Anti-Americanism|anti-American]] sentiment in South Korea at the time. He is one of the better known underground rappers in South Korea due to his parallel career as an [[Master of Ceremonies|MC]].

===2011–present===
In 2011, he became the host of [[MBC Every1]]'s ''[[Weekly Idol]]'' alongside entertainer and comedian [[Jeong Hyeong-don]], a show which was extended from an original six episode special to a weekly show that continues today.

In June 2012, he and Hyungdon formed a hip-hop collaboration called [[Hyungdon and Daejun]].<ref>{{cite web|title=형돈이와 대준이|url=http://music.naver.com/artist/home.nhn?artistId=221102|website=Naver Music|publisher=Naver Corporation|access-date=23 July 2015}}</ref>

Defconn is a founding member of [[Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation|MBC]]'s ''[[I Live Alone (TV series)|I Live Alone]]'', a documentary-style variety program focusing on the real lifestyles of men who live alone. The "Rainbow Club" – a self-designated nickname for the show's hosts – includes both men who are unmarried and men who live alone because their families live overseas.<ref>{{cite web|title=Seo In Guk Joins New MBC Variety Pilot Program|url=http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/27703/seo-in-guk-looks-to-repeat-success-in-variety-field|website=Mwave|publisher=CJ E&M|access-date=25 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151124125129/http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/27703/seo-in-guk-looks-to-repeat-success-in-variety-field|archive-date=24 November 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> Defconn left the cast in July 2014, citing that he was moving in with his brother and would no longer be living alone.

In November 2013, Defconn became a cast member for the third season of [[KBS2]]'s ''[[Happy Sunday]]'' segment ''[[2 Days & 1 Night]]'',<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mun|first1=Wan-sik|title='1박2일' 서PD "이 멤버들로 되겠냐고요?"(직격인터뷰)|url=http://star.mt.co.kr/view/stview.php?no=2013112211275421348&type=1&outlink=1|website=StarNews|date=22 November 2013 |access-date=25 August 2015}}</ref> and he remained so until 2019, when the third season ended.
