• What do you love about music and performing? I love how music has the power to connect people, express emotions, and tell stories in ways that words alone can't. Performing gives me the chance to share that energy with others and create moments where people can truly feel something. Whether I'm singing, dancing, or just listening, music has always been a source of joy, comfort, and excitement for me. It’s the one thing that has always felt natural, and when I perform, I feel like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
• Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators? My biggest inspirations are ATEEZ, xikers, ZEROBASEONE, BTS and many other Kpop groups. BTS, in particular, shaped me since I was 12, inspiring me with their passion and connection to fans. They encouraged me to chase my dreams and deepened my love for music. ATEEZ or xikers would be a dream collaboration due to their incredible energy and stage presence. I feel like every artist is talented in their own way, I'd be honored and very fortunate to collaborate with anyone!
• What makes you the Next Music Star? What makes me the next music star is my passion for music and my desire to connect with my audience on a personal level. I don’t just want fans, I want to create a community where we can all feel at home, like family and friends, understanding each other through music. With my versatility in K-pop, pop, and Latin music, I aim to bring people together, inspire them, and create a space where we can all share our emotions and experiences through the songs I perform.
• What would you do with the $10,000? If I win the Wango Tango competition and receive $10,000, I would invest in both my music and dance career. A portion of the funds would go toward opening a dance studio for me and my team, as we constantly struggle with finding a place to practice. I would also use the money to purchase professional equipment to start writing and creating my own music. With these investments, I could elevate my performances and produce high-quality music, taking a huge step toward making my dreams a reality!
