Yeah, hello. Can you hear me? Testing, testing. Okay, I’m pretty sure you can hear me.

So, anyways, y’all, welcome back to the blog! Welcome back to Hyche’s blog.

I had to take a break for a few months because, well, I was fully writing my book. And if you want to know what has been going on in my life, it is all in my book of this year. I tried to have a few entries, a few 2026 on my blog. We just got it—the page updated, updated media.

Today, August 18th, 2026, currently 25 years old and 15 months, and somehow I’m back in California. Back in California, back in the desert, back in Ridgecrest/Inyokern, and here better than ever. With my medicine, I knew that it may come a point where I had to start my dream over being in California again with my medicine, with my Adderall, and fully understanding that I have autism. I am autistic, thankfully high-functioning, but nonetheless autistic.

So yeah, I’m just really grateful. I’m back with Milea and Tyler, my close friends here. I saw Amy, I saw my little nephew Greyson, and yeah, it was—it’s really been a beautiful time here. I love being back in the mountains, seeing the mountains, and just going back to the way it was.

So I’m super grateful and loving life. Had to leave my parents, had to leave my mother’s house. I have to be a man, like I am, 25 turning 26. So like, it’s only right. Like these dogs over here, they have so much land. Like they literally have like a whole acre to run around, like they’re having so much fun chasing me and Milea’s dog, Oliver. Oliver has been my little guardian angel, reminds me of my little baby Buddy, my sweet girl Princess, all combined in one.

So I’m grateful. He literally sleeps right in my room, he’s either on the bed or he goes in his cage. Like he’s just such a good boy. So, we’re on the walk now. I’m about to go on a run with Molly. Oliver is the walking dog, and Molly is the running dog. Like I completely went out the way, like this dog is exhausted. Like I went the wrong way, I was not paying attention.

So I’m just trying to hurry up and get him with some water, like he’s damn near trying to run home, but he don’t have enough energy for that, for real. Or he does—he does. So let’s just keep it going.

And yeah, I’m just focused on being a trainee now. That is really who I am, what’s going on. I’m a trainee, training for debut. Like it’s that simple. Like I am completely aged out in Korean standards, but that’s why I’m in America! But I’m in the US because, like, I just have to be realistic and honest. Like with everything going on in my mind and my environment, my surroundings, like it was a recipe for disaster. Like I’m just—I have to be grateful that I survived, and that I I kept my mind right, and I protected the light that I was born with, that’s inside. And yeah, I’m just I’m grateful. Grateful from the depths of my soul.

And I’m ready for whatever’s next, whatever God has in store for me. I want to receive it. Little Ollie needs to take a break now, he’s tired, thirsty, all that. So yeah, I’m just back. Needed to go outside and get my mind right, filming my show, filming Hyche Talks, like a lot going on. And look, I just just have to gradually, step-by-step, block-by-block, build my empire and do what it is I want to do, ’cause I can do it. Nothing’s stopping me. I have full permission to be a star. I am a star.

So I’m just going to step in it, one step at a time, deep breaths, tight chest, let it all go and receive some more. So, I definitely love you all so much.

The universe is being built, the world around little Joe being built, and it’s all about right now. It’s not about, “Oh, I’ll do it in the future, I’ll do it in a few more years.” Like no, I’ll do it right now. I’ll do it right now. I’m going to let the past behind. Like I have to just be honest with myself. The truth is that I had to survive. I was dealing with crazy parents who would have destroyed me, would have took all my money. Like for a kid to even think that they would receive love once they’re rich and famous, something is not right. I shouldn’t have to have money to be loved and accepted and feel secure. Like that’s not how it goes for a kid. It’s not.

So, you know, I just have to—I have to understand that, and I just have to realize that whatever my parents did, do, how they are, what they are, like it has nothing to do with me. I’m here, an individual, and my Father is our Father, God. My Lord is Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit guides me, leads me, and it’s going to take me wherever I need to go and give me all the knowledge and wisdom that I need.

Like y’all, like the book just ends so crazy, like I want to tell y’all everything, but I have to save some things for the book. I got to save some things for the book, but just how everything transpired, it is insane.

Okay, Ollie, we’re almost there. Come on.

So we’re about to get home, feeling good. Like, oh yeah, as I was saying, I’m a trainee now. KATSEYE inspired me so much. The Pop Star Academy was exactly what I needed. I’m literally watching Produce 48 now after Pop Star Academy, so I’mma know. Like Manon did it, she just like—she kicked the door down. She needed to make it, like she was destined, she was always, like—Manon barely, I’m sure she does understand her impact, which is why she wanted to make it known. Like it’s—it is some racist stuff going on, and that’s just what it is. So, you know, Manon, just stay strong. You need to rest up right now. I know you’re going to come back. They need you for the album and for the world tour. Like don’t think that they don’t! Like we got to 100k copies, but you know what the labels want: two, 300 copies. They want to be—KATSEYE to be as big as Taylor Swift, getting a million copies, and I can see it. There’s not—it’s, I promise you, it’s not just going to be Taylor Swift getting a million copies in the future. So, the next generation, we’re coming like an animal.

And I just want to encourage everyone, just follow your dreams. Do what it is that you want to do. Like I told my family I wanted to be famous since I was a little boy. No one wanted to help me, no one, no one did anything. They actually doubted me, tried to stop me and make me live a regular life and go regular paths, the safe—the safe route. Like, I say I’m an employer, everyone wants to tell me get a job, get a job, get a job, even if I’m making $12 an hour for 20 hours. Like just living my life for what the business needs, like come on now. Like I’m so much more than that. Like these jobs, they try to tell me, “Okay, you can be an assistant. You could be a server’s assistant.” No. No, I came here to serve people, and that’s why I’m doing better than everyone. So let’s not act like you want me to help everyone do a good job like me.

So, yeah, just face—you know, you got to face corruption right in its face. Like once you build yourself up to to be out in the world, public spaces, seeing people, talking to people, like you have to be ready for what is inside every human being: a little bit of evil, a little bit of corruptness. And you know, it’s it’s everyone’s life. Like only Jesus was sent to be perfect. And thank God for that, because He never set life up to be, you know, where we had to be perfect, but we do have to need God and ask for forgiveness and not be prideful and think that we can live this life on our own, ’cause that’s so boring.

Like I definitely fully had no one growing up, but my God. It wasn’t until I turned 19, till I was 19, late 19, that I even knew Jesus Christ. And I was in a Christian family, but yeah, I didn’t really know Jesus, so that’s how you know. That’s how you know if these people are real Christians, like, do you even know Jesus? It’s like like God tells me to tell these people to read the New Testament. Like if you can’t do that, you know, and you trying to sacrifice and do all this, you’re trying to sacrifice your own son, like please. Obedience is much, much better than sacrifice, especially trying to sacrifice a son of God.

So, you know, just know that, y’all, I have been through all the things that go on in this world, and it didn’t stop me. Still have my head held high, confident, and ready to take off, honestly. So I just hope we can all just get to a point where we’re not afraid to be one with ourselves, go within, just sit still, meditate. Like that’s what is going on with a lot of us. We just don’t want to sit still and feel. We don’t want to feel these hard emotions and this heaviness of this world. Like we really want to be with our Father, like celebrating the good things of life, and what God has done, and blessings, and being grateful and light, and appreciating another day, being safe.

Like just have to constantly remind myself right now that I’m safe now, everything is okay. Don’t have to be scared and fearful anymore. I don’t. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. I am free to be, to live, to speak, to tell my story, to be myself. And that is what our Father wants for all of us. He’s working very hard. He thinks He has more thoughts than all the sand on earth, all trillions, quintillions, bajillions, all that. So many thoughts, and they’re only good thoughts. They’re only good thoughts, millions and billions, millions of billions, literally.

So, like, everything’s good. Just try to just ask God like, “I know Your thoughts are higher than us, but just give me a few good thoughts of what You think of me, how I am Your child, You love me so much, I’m doing so well, how strong You’re going to make me.” Like from the weak we will be made strong. So you’re weak right now, sit in that weakness, feel it. You won’t be weak forever. Getting much stronger, I can see the strength. Really see the strength just building up every day trying not to lose progress right now.

And going down just ain’t happening.

So, love you.
