✎; Los

Moon Wonjun ⌇ 1987.09.21

Solo ⌇ Rapper

━━━ :love_letter: ━━━

Los is a pretty familiar name in the korean hip hop scene, but let's introduce him to everyone: he made his debut as a rapper in 2017, born in the usa but seemingly with a deep korean background because he appears to be fluent and has his career focused in korea, since he is a part of vmc, one of THE hip hop labels in korea. he appeared on a few show me the money seasons but managed to succeed and advance pretty far in the 11th and most recent season, participating in the diss battle as his last battle on the show. In this season, he revealed that he went to Korea to pursue music in order to make things better for his son. i am not entirely sure but it seems that he is raising his young son all by himself. he was quite emotional about it, rather criticizing himself for not being enough, but in clips that were shown you can see how much he cares about him and how happy he is with his son and how adorable these two are together.

los is one of those people who are genuine towards their music and ion for hip hop, which I think was very clear throughout show me the money 11. One of my favorite songs by him is “hustle 2“ featuring chin of the homies and changmo, a trio i would always love to see again. los has a very hiphop like image and style. His rap from tone to style is well influenced by the roots of hip hop in America, which you can definitely hear if you listen to his rap, which is pretty fascinating to me. His love for his son is always something that I ire so much, he really loves him and would do anything for him. 2022 was a pretty tough year and the after effects of show me were probably massive, with covid declining i imagine it was easier for him to see his son more regularly since said son stays more in the us. I hope that they were able to reunite for his birthday and had an amazing time! los is someone worth your attention if you're into true hip hop, please take a small listen as a small gift <3 happy birthday brian!

Im SooAh ⌇ 1999.09.21

Solo ⌇ Singer

━━━ :love_letter: ━━━

Happy birthday to this pretty and talented girlie! It hasn’t been that long since I have gotten into Youha. My first ever song of hers was “Last Dance”, which is btw one of my favorite solo releases of last year! Both that song and the entire EP that came along with it is a pleasant listening experience in my very humble opinion. I really think people don’t give her enough recognition and that honestly needs to change because what a talented queen she is. My love for her music has started to flourished little by little after listening to that EP of hers. I truly adore her vocals, how she can go into these really high tones and make it seem so effortless is truly impressive. I love the way she plays with the range of her vocals, she can go very high or low depending of the mood she wants to set up. Someone talented like this deserves all the attention and love! I have also noticed that she is just very likeable not only as an artist but also as a person. I was watching this video for the dance practice for Last Dance, as well as some behind the scenes stuff and she is just so adorable and seems so genuine! Her dancing skills are also top notch and I love that! Her laugh is also so contagious and charming. There’s this video about getting to know her a bit better and just makes me smile every time I see it. She is just wholesome and I really can’t wait to see what comes next for her like it has really been too long ugh! I hope that she continues to make amazing music like this for a long time and that with time more people give her the recognition she deserves. I'm ending this letter wishing her the happiest of birthdays. May she get many amazing gifts, be surrounded by the love of many :hearts: She deserves only joy!

✎; Blase

Shin Yeongdeok ⌇ 1994.09.22

Solo, Rooftop ⌇ Rapper

━━━ :love_letter: ━━━

Happy Blase day! Blase is a pretty well known rapper in the korean hiphop industry thanks to show me the money 11, where he reached the finals. He appeared on seasons 8, 9 and 10 but was only really highlighted in season 11. He debuted in 2018 as a part of the duo rooftop and solo as well. Blase is known for his solid discography, releasing many songs and albums throughout the past albums. On show me the money 11, we saw him highlighted as roh yunha’s (smtm11 contestant, high school rapper 4 runner up) rap teacher, as a tall guy (officially 191 cm) and a rather savage person, especially within the diss battle round. He is best known for popularizing drill rap, a style based on heavy trap and menacing delivery, often focusing on topics such as gangs, violence, poverty and similar. Blase specifically takes much influence from UK drill, but he also combines genres such as jungle, bass and dancehall into his music. despite his large popularity within drill rap, he doesn't associate himself with that only but explores new genres and focuses more on the overall sound since he beliefs catching attention of someone who listens to a song for the first time is important. earlier this year, he signed to a company for the first time in his 5 year long career, choosing groovyroom’s at area as his first one.

Blase is one of the rappers on show me the money 11 who stood out a lot to me personally. I wasn't much aware of him before, aside from the fact he is Yunha'a mentor and teacher, neither did I hear much of drill rap, or even listen to the genre before. blase made me more aware of it and definitely helped me to check out more rappers known for drill rap as well as find much liking within this genre. His addictive style of rapping really captivated me and was one of the reasons I decided to follow his activities more. Based on his instagram, he was traveling with the at area family a lot this year, releasing one song so far. He definitely deserved traveling and “resting” though considering the amount of music he dropped in 2022. blase is a very irable rapper, for his music, strong ion and his personality as well - i catch myself rewatching the diss battle in smtm11 a lot. I hope that he can continue to catch some new energy and inspiration and continue to bless the khh industry with more music. He seemed to have had an amazing birthday party, I hope he enjoyed it a lot! happy birthday blase <33

Kim Hyoyeon ⌇ 1989.09.22

Solo, Girls’ Generation ⌇ Main Dancer, Main Rapper, Sub Vocalist

━━━ :love_letter: ━━━

let's wish our queen Hyoyeon a happy birthday! Hyoyeon is a popular idol and best known as a soloist, girls generation’s main dancer or a member of got the beat. She also promotes her solo activities under the name Hyo or DJ Hyo, which she primarily uses since 2018. She initially debuted as main dancer and main rapper of the girl group girls generation in august of 2007, 16 years ago. As a member of the group, she made history and paved the way for whole generations of girl groups being able to succeed, nationally and globally. Hyoyeon's love for dancing formed in her early days, when she was still in elementary school, growing up learning hip hop, jazz and latin dance. She studied dance and even went to China to learn and develop more before making her debut. She made her solo debut in 2016, changing her solo stage name to Hyo in 2018. she also ed girls generations oh!gg in 2018. she collaborated with rapper loopy and gidle member Soyeon in 2019 for “dessert”, picking up another collab with bibi in 2021 for “second”. she recently made a comeback with “picture”, a latin inspired song. she ed many more projects throughout her career, her latest being got the beat, sm’s female so called super group, representing girls generation alongside Taeyeon. Hyoyeon also briefly appeared on the show good girl in 2020, an mnet tv show with fellow rappers and r&b singers from the idol and rap industry.

Hyoyeon is one of the female idols i respect and ire the most. she isn't just an idol, but a true artist being influenced by many genres and vibes through her own music and being a phenomenal dancer with a very long history of dancing. seeing idols who are really ionate about dancing is rather rare, but Hyoyeon literally impersonates that - i doubt there is any idol with a dancing history as she has. i really loved her recent song “picture” and i love how she was influenced by latin music, which she encountered at a young age already… its like paying homage to her own history as a performer. in fact she is such an amazon performer, that she has appeared on videos pre debut that are popular within dancers and even my mom as former ballet dancer had seen Hyoyeon dance on videos in the early to mid 2000s. considering time and her being korean i feel like that's pretty impressive! Hyoyeon is an icon for reasons! I wish her the absolute best at any time, now being around her mid 30s, I hope that she's doing things she loves and has the option to explore many more things she wants! happy birthday my dear Hyoyeon, i  love you <333
