If κ is a supercompact cardinal, each true Σ2​ statement, allowing parameters in Vκ​, holds in Vκ​. Write it as an existential witness followed by a Π1​ assertion. Choose a supercompact elementary embedding whose transitive target contains the witness in Vj(κ)​. Downward absoluteness of the universal bounded-matrix assertion puts the witness in that rank segment, and elementarity reflects this to Vκ​.
