July-October 2019
A sixteen-year-old Donghyeon stepped on stage for the eighth season of popular show: Show Me The Money, a show where aspiring rappers can join in and showcase their talents. Many famous contestants such as Block B's Loco has competed sparking a new interest in Korean Hip Hop.
He would watch these a child with interest. Jay Park was one of his biggest idols, being a BigBang fan from his grade school days. He got to witness the group shaped the Kpop world before their hiatus. Now it was his turn to show off his talent.
"What is your name kid?" Asked Jay Park.
"I'm Seo Donghyeon. I'm still in highschool about seventeen years. I know I'm young but to tell you truth I wanted to be here to see you, Jay Sunbaenim. I grew up listening to BigBang and your music. I hope to impress you sunbaes." The boy bowed politely.
His first song he cleverly introduces himself and started rapping about his journey. The audience were impressed by the young boy's rapping. It was clever without it being too corny. Donghyeon was trying to be aggressive, he just wanted to show himself.
His stage name was Big Naughty, a declaration that he will be a major nuisance against his rivals. Of all the hotss perhaps Giriboy was the one most impressed by his rapping. On several occasions he collaborated with Giriboy.

Perhaps his greatest moment came when he participated in a diss battle against Lil Tachi. It was intense as both rappers tried to reach each other's appearance and style. In the end Naughty had the upper hand. The young boy was more clever and consistent than his rival.
Despite his win, he only won fourth place. And so, the young boy sulked at having been robbed of such an opportunity.
"Man... I really thought I had it! I was so close! I didn't expect the competition to be so stiff!" Naughty sighed as he went to a cafe to relax.
"One latte, extra creamy please." He ordered before he sat down in the table.
He saw a couple young girls sitting nearby. They wore elborate costumes probably some idol group he can't seem to remember. He noticed one pretty girl, she looked to be three years older with distinct bangs and eyes. He quickly turned around so he wouldn't be caught.
"I'm wasting my time here. I have better things than to get distracted by idols." Naughty got up adjusting his glasses, not even noticing said girl looking at him.
He took his latte and left. Once he arrived home he received something on his mailbox. Suspicious he decides to open it.
Dear Donghyeon
You showed lots of charisma on SMTM8. I saw how you were able to put perform your seniors despite your age. Not only you can rap but you can sing as well. I think you could be a great asset in H1ghr Music. Feel free to come to the building to discuss business.
Sincerely H1ghr Music CEO, Jay Park
"Is this real!! I-I made it!? I don't know what to say what I do!? I need to tell Keeho hyung about this!" Donghyeon immediately went to the FNC building to discuss said news to his peers.
