The winner of “High School Rapper,” Mnet’s hip-hop competition show that ended in March, will be in the upcoming season of “Show Me the Money.”

According to local media reports, Yang Hong-won recently applied for the hip-hop audition show “Show Me the Money Season 6.” He has challenged the competition for three consecutive seasons.

“Yang can be a formidable contestant as he has gotten used to the show’s competitive atmosphere through the previous experience. He is not just a high school student but a rapper who makes others feel nervous,” sources said.

The 19-year-old rookie swept “High School Rapper” with his powerful voice and impeccable flow. “I want to be an artist who can spread a message and spirit to others,” said Yang in a press conference held by the top three competitors of the show on April 6 this year.
