He introduced himself by saying that he changed his parents' adult 'Zhuge' to 'Jikal', the Portuguese pronunciation. He added that the most important film and music of his life both began with the letter M and described himself as Director of M.

Jinyoung Park admired Daniel's stage, saying, "How do you express yourself like this? Whether it's a video, keyboard, or rap, you mobilized everything to express your feelings about going to Korea and what kind of person you are."



And Psy even made a shocking suggestion, "For the first time, we passed without a talent stage. How about not seeing our first talent stage?" Nevertheless, Park Jin-young asked to see the skill stage quickly, and Daniel explained his skill stage.



He said, "I'm going to show you a rap today. I made a song with a friend from the United States." He said, "I wanted to express the countries that are related to me. So I can speak Portuguese, Korean, English,Spanish lyrics appear. The theme of this song is my way of life, how I want to live, and what my goals are.”



Daniel performed his own song titled 'Feelin Alive'. JYPSY was enthusiastic about this. After the stage was over, Psy expressed his surprise, saying, "When I talk to the participants, I talk a lot about the expressive part, but Daniel seems to be the king of expressive power." He also praised, "I think he's one of the most creative teenagers I've ever met," he said.



Park Jin-young said, "I know the Daniel in front of us looks like this, but that wouldn't be Daniel. The real Daniel is the heart, personality, and beliefs of living in the house that looked like Daniel." "Art is what makes the invisible visible. But today, Daniel made that invisible part of the video look like a rap with the sound of a key being pressed. So I think you know who Daniel is."



He also praised, "The name of our program 'Loud' means to show us the invisible parts and express them out loud. In that sense, Daniel seems to be the talent we were looking for."



And Park Jin-young said, "You don't have to be really good at dancing. But let's work hard. We have to do this much. You know?" He even made a statement with the idea of ​​an idol group in mind.



Even when Daniel left the stage, the excitement of both producers did not subside easily. Park Jin-young said, "I lived on this program. In the end, what would I do if a child like that didn't come? They said it was different from other shows and it's the same.
