'InStyle' released a couple images of Nucksal from a recent photo shoot. The two pictures show the rapper in his casual trendy clothing with a hat covering his head. The pictures were taken in front of a simple pink background which helped the readers/viewers focus on the artist more. After the shoot, a quick interview was carried out.

Throughout the whole competition, he was considered one of the strongest competitors. He shared his mindset at the time, "Competing with music didn't really make sense for me. The reason why I've been able to live within the framework of music for more than 10 years was that I believed in my absolute evaluation. I just did what I had to do." He continued, "During the cypher, my mentality was really weak. It felt like I circled earth about ten times in 15 seconds."

He was also asked about his future goals. He answered, "I've already obtained my goal. I released an album with my name on it, the album was nominated for the 'Korean Music Awards', and I appeared on EBS' 'Space'. Now, I'm planning to go back to my first dream of creating good music. I have a lot more to show. I want to become a classic."
