Why Big Sancho Hung A Photo Of (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon In His Studio
In the world of music production, unique stories of collaboration, camaraderie, and mutual respect often arise. One such heartwarming story recently unfolded, involving celebrated music producer Big Sancho and talented singer-songwriter (G)I-DLE‘s Soyeon. Their shared journey, dating back years, is highlighted by a symbolic memento in Big Sancho’s studio – a picture of Soyeon. This picture’s significance was detailed during a candid chat with GALATIKA on their YouTube channel.
The inception of Big Sancho’s new studio coincided with the making of the “Oh my god” album. It was a transitional period for the producer who, while setting up his new workspace, found himself financially stretched. The expenses had piled up, and like many artists pursuing their passion, he was pouring every penny into his dream. Despite these circumstances, his determination was unwavering, and he strived to create an environment that could nurture his creative prowess.
When the Oh My God album came out… It was when I moved to another studio. I didn’t have any money while I was making it. So I scraped up the money from everywhere and barely made [the studio].

With the release of the “Oh my god” album, a significant turning point arrived. The album’s success and subsequent royalties not only alleviated Big Sancho’s financial strain but also served as a testament to the fruitful collaboration between him and Soyeon. To commemorate this, Big Sancho hung a photo of Soyeon in his studio, a tribute to their shared achievement.
Then when the royalties came in, I paid back every money that I scraped, and then… I hung Soyeon’s picture. This studio is yours! Soyeon!
— Big Sancho
The gesture embodies more than just gratitude; it signifies recognition of Soyeon’s talent, their shared history, and the success their collaboration has brought. It serves as a reminder of their journey in the music industry, a journey marked by hard work, determination, and shared victories.
This sentiment seemingly resonates beyond Big Sancho and his studio. During the same interview, GALATIKA shared a similar narrative. When ITZY‘s Yeji and Ryujin visited their studio, GALATIKA expressed their gratitude for the artists’ contribution to the success of their studio.
I said, ‘Yeji, you made this studio for me.’ To Ryujin I said, ‘Ryujin! This is how you made this studio!’ [doing “WANNABE” choreography]. I told them because it’s true. The artists worked hard!

This shared feeling between Big Sancho and GALACTIKA underscores the ingrained appreciation and esteem prevalent in the K-Pop production sphere. It emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between artists and producers, illustrating how their mutual achievements can lay the foundation for future progress and possibilities.
