My Take
Samuel's path fascinates me. Born in Los Angeles yet building his career as a singer in South Korea, he embodies a genuinely cross-cultural ambition that is harder than fans often realize. Forming a hip hop duo as a teenager and then finishing 18th on Produce 101 season 2, just shy of the group, could have ended things, but holding his own on that stage showed real grit. Competing in a different language and culture demands a particular kind of resilience. I rate his expressiveness as a rapper and his potential to grow, and I suspect his early setbacks are exactly what will sharpen him.
