Talented Rapper & Producer Zico’s Profile

On April 18th, Jennie caused a stir when she surprised fans by revealing her upcoming collaboration with Korean rapper Zico through ODDATELIER’s official channel. As part of Zico’s highly anticipated comeback, the BLACKPINK member will be featured in his single “SPOT”which is set to be released on April 16th.

Jennie and Zico continue to ignite fans’ anticipation with a preview of Jennie’s live performance of “SPOT”in the studio. The brief snippet showcases the song’s infectious melody and Jennie’s commanding vocals, leaving a lasting impression on the public.

Following the announcement, their joint effort quickly became the most searched topic on social media. Despite not being released yet, their upcoming track “SPOT”is already predicted to dominate the Korean music charts next week. This is due to the immense influence and successful track records of both Jennie and Zico, who are highly regarded as top singers in the industry with numerous hit songs.

Although she has never made an appearance in other artists’ music videos throughout her 8-year career, Jennie will make an exception this time and join Zico in his MV. Prior to her debut, she had only acted in G-Dragon’s “That XX”MV in 2012.

Zico first debuted in 2011 as a member of Block B. He has gained a reputation as a versatile artist, showcasing his skills in rapping, dancing, and songwriting. In 2014, Zico embarked on a solo career and experienced great success. He also participated in the popular show “Show Me the Money”and formed a close bond with WINNER’s Mino, who happens to be a good friend of Jennie. It is not surprising that Jennie and Zico have a connection, despite their limited public interactions.

When discussing Zico, it is impossible for a K-pop enthusiast not to bring up the 2020 hit “Any Song”. This track not only took the music industry by storm and achieved the most Perfect All-Kill hours at the time, but it also sparked a viral dance challenge trend that continues to this day.

Zico not only has a thriving singing career but is also a producer. In January 2019, he founded KOZ Entertainment to oversee his solo endeavors and produce a K-pop group. In 2023, KOZ Entertainment debuted their first boy group project, BOYNEXTDOOR, after being acquired by HYBE in 2020. With Zico at the helm, BOYNEXTDOOR released their debut single “WHO”and gained recognition as one of the most promising rookie groups in 2023.
