After its rapid growth, the Korean hip-hop scene faced a period of significant decline. No new stars emerged, and the number of hit songs released decreased significantly. Amidst the dominance of K-pop, it was seen as a minor genre, showing its limitations. Dedicated hip-hop labels Illionaire, Highlight, and VMC disbanded one after another. Amidst this situation, there was one man who conquered the Korean hip-hop scene. That man was SIK-K.
