Hello Neoxian City!
This is my very first time entering the Neoxian City Talent Hunt, and honestly, it pushed me more than I expected. Dusting up my voice to sing a full, challenging song again was not easy at all. I had to warm up, retry parts, and remind myself to keep going. Creating the video came with its own struggle too, from setting to editing to this stage.
But at the very least, I got something better. I connect deeply with the song I chose for this cover. It speaks about being free from what has happened in the past, moving forward, accepting who I am, and still striving to become a better version of myself. That message alone made this song special to me, like I was speaking to myself.
The song itself is one of my favorites from the movie “Kpop Demon Hunters”, originally sung by Ejae & Andrew Choi. I love it's emotion and strength. Now, let’s be real, I’m not great with rap, but I still tried my best to sing Jinu’s part as well as I could. I also enjoyed doing a little duo play in the cover, switching between parts and energy.
And yes, the hair change was intentional. Just a tiny way to show who’s Rumi and who’s Jinu so don’t take it too seriously. This cover may not be perfect, but it’s honest, fun, and a big step for me. I’m proud I showed up and tried. Good luck to every other participants and thanks to the organizers of this hunt. Until next time, bye!!! ❤️
