According to Gaeko's statement, he has always admired Rap Monster's voice and tone.

Rap Monster has a successful career when it comes to K-Pop, which is why his collaboration with Gaeko could help the latter to get back in the Korean music industry once again. Nam-Joon, who has an IQ of 148, has been the leader of BTS since the boy group's starting days.

Moreover, he has his own solo albums as well which have been up in the K-music charts for many times. Rap Monster is also noted to be fluent in English and Japanese besides Korean. On inquiring about how he achieved fluency in English, he quoted that he had a lot of help from the American sitcom "Friends" giving him the English knowledge he has today.
