Stray Kids' Changbin shared his thoughts after he was eliminated from the rap competition.
Last October 16, the male idol tried out on the first preliminary round of Mnet's 'Show Me The Money' in which participants had to show their skills in just 60 seconds. According to Changbin, it was his dream to perform on stage, and that he is happy as an idol. He added that he wants to showcase his talent, hoping that people will say that there's someone in Stray Kids who's great at rapping.
And showcasing his rap skills, producer JUSTHIS passed him through the next round of the program. The producer stated that Changbin had the vibe of a rapper so he let him participate in the second match, which took place on October 30. On that day, the Stray Kids member once again showed off what he can do as a rapper, however, he was not able to impress all four judging teams and gave him a 'Fail', marking his elimination from the contest.

On October 31, Changbin uploaded a photo of himself on Stray Kids' official Instagram account, together with a message regarding his experience in the rap competition.
The rapper stated, "I was able to gain a priceless experience through 'Show Me The Money' and learned a lot from it. It was a great opportunity for me to grow both as an idol rapper and as a rapper. Also, it provided me with a chance to judge myself; I was like a teacher for myself. And that is why I tried out, hehe."
He further stated, "I want to continue to show our Stay (Stray Kids' official fandom) better sides of me without losing this challenging mindset as a musician as well as a member of Stray Kids. Our Stay, who was worried so much about me competing on 'Show Me The Money', and who still cheered me on all this time, and also our members, thank you and I love you."
