Under the piercingly red lights, Kim Ryul starts rapping with the mic gripped tight. Cheers erupt from everywhere at his solid volume and the gaze that overwhelms the crowd.

As soon as he finishes the performance and steps down, he gives a slight nod to the people swarming him, pushing through them to sit at a table with his fellow rapper friends.
