Sakuya

Born in 2007 — I had to do a double-take on that. This kid from Saitama is still a teenager and already putting words to a beat, which honestly commands a certain respect I wasn't expecting to feel. Rappers have to mean what they say; you can't fake your way through a verse the way you might coast through other genres, and the fact that someone this young is stepping up to that pressure tells me there's a real backbone here. He debuted in 2024 with NCT WISH under SM Entertainment as the youngest member of NCT, which is a lot of spotlight for someone that young. I genuinely don't know what Sakuya becomes, but that's exactly why I'm watching.
