[스포츠서울 정하은기자]“I still felt it’s okay to play music purely like a child.”
When asked what hip-hop is to Lilboy (29, Seung-taek Oh), the winner of Mnet’Show Me the Money 9′, the answers of’Honestness’ and’Pureness’ returned. “For me, hip-hop means music with the prefix’Honestly’ in front of the music. After all, to like the hip-hop music that I do is to like me, so I am grateful.”
Like this, Lilboy’s victory can be interpreted as a symbol of change in the hip-hop world. In the meantime, Lilboy’s hip-hop has been “treated as a heresy” in the hip-hop world, claiming that it has a commercial pop music color. This is the result of Lilboy’s proving his worth.
Reilboy, who appeared on’Show Me the Money’ with the desire to change his prejudice, said he was pleased that the authenticity of his music was conveyed to the public to some extent, regardless of whether he won or not. Lilboy said, “By the end of my mind to change my prejudices, I think I’ve gotten too much attention to the point that I can’t even think of it. I think the biggest confirmation is that I have confidence in my own music.”
After finishing a long campaign of’Show Me the Money 9′, Lilboy was caught crying in the waiting room after winning. Lilboy said, “It seems to be because of the people who shared three months together. It was a complex meaning that was both joyful and sad that I was the only one who paid off.”
Lilboy repeatedly emphasized that he got’people’ through’Show Me the Money 9′. He said, “I met a lot of good people. Since I was only at home, I spent a lot of time without any emotions, but as I mingled with a lot of people at Show Me The Money, I think I shared a lot of positive emotions.” He said that it was a very valuable experience as I watched the purely enjoyment of music while working and regained my forgotten image.”
Reelboy, who confidently won the title of’Young Boss’ in’Show Me the Money 9′, which re-challenged after 5 years, was actually a strong champion from the beginning of the contest. And for three months,’When Tomorrow Comes’,’Bad News Cypher vol.2′,’ON AIR’, and’CREDIT’ show off their unrivaled rap skills, stable skills, and deep emotions on every stage. Proved.
The hardest part of the contest was also the limited time. “It is a program that requires some choice and concentration because I have to memorize the lyrics and write songs within a short time,” said Lilboy. It was really impossible without the help of the producers.” In particular, he expressed his respect for Justice. “When I was rehearsing, I watched my team pay attention to every detail of the stage. In a way, I thought it was amazing to see you give us feedback on all the parts that might be annoying.”

Lilboy, who debuted as Giggs with Louis (Hwang Moon-seop) in 2011, quickly emerged as a star with the hit song’Officially Missing You’. The emotional melody and lyrics that are different from the rough hip-hop colors caught the public’s ears. Since then,’How about’ and’Fly’ have also been hit, but some hip-hop artists and genre fans insisted that so-called’ballad rap’ is not’real hip-hop’.
As a result, Lilboy confessed that he had suffered from extreme popularity and depression over the past five years. Of course, the scars still remain. “In fact, it would be a lie if everything was resolved. However, it is clear that I have peace of mind in so many areas. A lot of people helped me get back to my mind.” One of the people who silently cheered me around was Lou, a member of Giggs. “I used to cheer with long KakaoTalk. I was like my own brother, so even if I said this, I thought it wasn’t going to go down, but I was really grateful.”
With this victory, Lilboy will receive 100 million won in prize money and a music business plan. When asked how he plans to use the prize money, Lilboy laughed, saying, “I will plan gradually in the future, but what I vaguely think of is the idea that I can fully hear my album.”
Now it’s time to pass the time to prove yourself and listen to Lilboy’s music. Reelboy, who has said that hip-hop is honesty and innocence, said, “I want to play music that can show me honestly, rather than show me something special,” he said calmly.
