“SPOT! (FEAT JENNIE)”: ZICO is making a comeback as an artist from his role as a producer

ZICO is making a comeback as an artist from his role as a producer, with “SPOT! (FEAT JENNIE)”.

ZICO‘s return as an artist from a producer has raised expectations for his new song, following his dazzling success as a producer. “SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)” is his first official release in 1 year and 9 months since his mini album “Grown Ass Kid” released in July 2022. It is a hip-hop song filled with ZICO’s sensibility, featuring JENNIE, also known as the ‘queen of streaming’.

The meeting of ZICO, known for his rhythmic and sophisticated rap, with JENNIE, possessing a charming vocal color, alone has garnered significant attention. The making video of the new song released on his official YouTube channel on the 21st stayed on the Korean YouTube trending chart for two consecutive days (22-23rd), proving its popularity.

He is an artist who combines popularity with musicality and serves as the representative producer of KOZ Entertainment, a label under HYBE. Last year, he took on the overall production of BOYNEXTDOOR, a group launched by KOZ Entertainment, establishing himself as a producer. On the 26th of this month, he will return as the musician ZICO with the digital single “SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)” after a long time.

BOYNEXTDOOR, produced by him, hit a career high with their mini 2nd album “HOW?” released on the 15th, riding a rising trend. BOYNEXTDOOR achieved ‘half a million seller’ with their new release (album sales within the first week of release) and topped the latest weekly album ranking on the Oricon chart in Japan (as of April 29th/period: April 15-21) with sales nearly twice that of their previous work.

ZICO, loved for trend-leading music from the dance challenge trendsetter “Any Song”, “Summer Hate (Prod. ZICO) (Feat. Rain)” to festival essentials like “Okey Dokey”, ‘Say Yes Or No (Feat. PENOMECO, The Quiett)’, is expected to showcase a deeper music world in collaboration with JENNIE on “SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)”.
