💡Writer’s bio : I'm Kate. I live in the US, and I love listening to music. I have been listening to K-pop for so long, but it is the first time I genuinely want to support an artist 100% by voting for them, buying their albums and photocards, and writing about them! Even though I am new to the Clue fandom, I hope we can all be strong and stay together to support Ciipher for a long time.

In the recently concluded survival show Boys Planet, MNET introduced viewers to a talented group of idols, among whom was Terazono Keita, better known as Keita. Although he finished 12th in the show, Keita has proven himself to be a multi-talented and charismatic idol. As a member of the 7-member group Ciipher, Keita has already showcased his all-roundedness prior to Boys Planet. Let's delve into five points that illustrate why Keita is an epitome of an all-rounder.

Keita, The Rapper 🔥

From his first performance during the Star Level Test, where he confidently rapped and danced to "Zero for Conduct" by Block B, Keita exhibited his rap skills. He received an all-star rating from the star masters due to his stable live performance. Moreover, his memorable rap performance of Jessi's "ZOOM" during the Dual Position Mission demonstrated his charisma, impeccable rhythm, and flowing delivery.

Keita, The Vocalist 🎤

Although primarily known as a main rapper in Boys Planet, Keita's vocal abilities impressed both fellow trainees and vocal star master Solji during the practice of the theme song "Here I Am." In Ciipher, Keita holds the positions of lead rapper and lead vocalist, demonstrating his versatility and vocal prowess.

Keita, The Producer/Lyricist 🎵

Keita's talents extend beyond performing. As an accredited lyricist, composer, and arranger under the Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA), Keita has showcased his creativity and musical acumen. With 14 songs credited to his name, including tracks like "Stay" and "Come Over," Keita's contributions as a writer, co-writer, and producer have solidified his role as an all-rounded artist.

Keita, The Dancer/Choreographer 🪩

Being a K-pop idol requires top-notch dancing skills, and Keita excels in this aspect as well. His fellow Ciipher members recognized his talent during a video interview, where they unanimously named him the group's best dancer. Furthermore, Keita's choreography for Ciipher's song "Joker" from their 2nd Mini Album "Blind" demonstrated his ability to create captivating and dynamic dance routines.

Keita, The Skilled MC 🤩

Despite being Japanese, Keita's fluency in Korean enabled him to serve as a capable MC during various instances on Boys Planet. His language proficiency also allowed him to effectively communicate with fellow trainees and even teach Korean to his fellow Japanese trainees. Keita's role as a tour guide in the MNET-produced variety show J01's Hello Tour further showcased his MC skills and ability to connect with a diverse audience.

Through his exceptional rap skills, impressive vocal range, contributions as a producer/lyricist, captivating dance performances, and adeptness as an MC, Ciipher's Keita has proven himself to be an epitome of a true all-rounder. Fans can eagerly anticipate Keita's future endeavors with Ciipher and his collaboration with Korean American rapper pH-1.
