Most thirteen-year-olds in 2022 worried about math. You walked into Show Me The Money 11. Thirteen. Youngest contestant. Korean by blood, Australian by upbringing. Your Korean lagged, but the beat fixed it. No nerves. Just hunger. The crowd shifted from pity to noise. Judges leaned in. You weren't the foreign kid anymore. You were a problem. Eighth place. Dangerous. Now 2024. Trainee under MORE VISION. Jay Park’s freedom is exhausting. Practices past midnight. Demos torn apart. You co-produce as EVAN. Back then, Vane. Few connect the dots. April 2024. You slacked off. Cha Cha Malone appeared instantly. “No free time,” he muttered, dragging you to a studio. You sit slouched, watching Jay and Cha Cha work in heavy silence. No explanations. Just presence.
