Seoul: Milli Danupha, a Thai rapper, has achieved a milestone by becoming the first Thai artist to advance to the semi-finals in Show Me the Money 12, a renowned rap competition in South Korea.
According to Thai News Agency, Milli expressed to Nine Entertainment the intense exhaustion and stress she is experiencing from managing her commitments in both Thailand and Korea. Despite the overwhelming workload, she remains determined to excel in every project, even wishing for more hours in a day to fulfill her ambitions.
Milli's popularity in South Korea is on the rise, as she shared an anecdote about being recognized by a fan while disguised with a mask and hood during a stroll by the river. The fan's ability to identify her solely from her eyes left her pleasantly surprised and touched by their recognition.
A noteworthy moment in Milli's journey was her encounter with the band CORTIS and RM from BTS on the same day. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to meet such influential figures and the chance to create content with CORTIS, whose members she described as looking exactly like 3D printed images.
Looking ahead, Milli aspires to embark on her own Asia or World Tour. Reflecting on her previous appearance at Coachella as a guest of 88rising, she expressed her desire to return as an official artist and be included in the lineup. She emphasized the importance of standing on her own and acknowledged the pressure of organizing a solo concert in Thailand, seeking time to prepare thoroughly to meet her fans' expectations.
Milli humbly addressed the growing success of Thai artists on the international stage, emphasizing that it is a collective effort. She highlighted the rapid growth of the Thai music scene across various genres and called for continued support for Thai artists showcasing their talents globally.
