What So Not shares his personal experience during the making of the EP, reflecting on a trip to China where he stayed at a temple with Shaolin Monks, training Kung Fu. He delves into the concept of the “Void,” a space where ideas originate, free from distractions and external noise. This concept of the “Void” became a central theme in the EP, exploring the idea of quiet reflection and the source of creativity.
