Previously, rapper Sleepy, who debuted in the group Untouchable�in 2008, surprised many by announcing that he's auditioning for the rapper competition�program.�

On this week's broadcast, Sleepy opened up about his decision, and said, "Some people know me as a comedian, some as a soldier. I used to be called the monsters of music charts when I debuted in Untouchable. I just started going on variety shows because it was fun but I could no longer fit in the hip-hop scene as time flew."

He continued, "I just want people to realize that Sleepy is a rapper and hear them say 'He's better than I thought'. I don't have any great expectations for myself in the hip-hop scene. I hope people kindly look at me as I head a new challenge like I did when I first got into hip-hop and rap."

Zico�was the judge for Sleepy. Sleepy seemed nervous and even paused in the middle of his audition. However, Zico gave him the necklace and commented, "During Jiggy Fellaz�days, Sleepy had his own high tone voice that pierces the ear. I wanted to hear more of that in the next round."

Sleepy also said, "I never knew it would be this hard to receive this necklace."
