The first answer I thought of was "locked up in blacklabel's/YG dungeon"

[@taefiedcontents]

Maaaaan

[@aske65]

the dungeon is a strange nickname for the space to have artistic freedom without deadlines :p but yeah i get the point almost said it myself, so much hate against everything YGE that the soundbites of the bandwagon is sticking :p

[@nikolaiquack8548]

@@aske65 Doesn't seem like Blackpink gets a lot of that artistic freedom you're talking about...

[@aske65]

@@nikolaiquack8548 so true it's because they have too wait for others to have time to produce compose and write for them, hopefully that will change 🙂

[@haenibear]

@@nikolaiquack8548 I feel like YG is kinda at fault for not allowing BP to write/compose or release their own music, since YG artists are known for that. But then again I think that it's not something they have to do or should be pressured to do since their idols... There are many talented producers and songwriters out there and as long as the music is good it's fine with me

[@ashleysanchez5458]

Zion.T is such a unique artist and that’s what I love about him. And Yanghwa bridge always makes me and my non korean speaking mother cry,sooo you know it hits hard.

[@jasons4045]

Zion.T wasn't a overnight success, his presence exploded when he participated in Infinite Challenge. You missed that. It is also a fact that he went into quiet mode when he left Amoeba for Black Label. Anyway Zion, thanks for introducing Crush to me.

[@bluemilk195]

You're right, but I read somewhere that there was a problem that involved Crush when he (Zion. T) left Amoeba Culture and there was a lot of korean people criticizing him about that, I think that's part of all the silence about him when he changed to Black Label... But I'm not really sure about that. Still both are good artist and admire them a lot.

[@azuretv787]

He was cast on Infinity challenge because of yonghwa Bridge.

[@therandomkorean]

Watch a 9 minute video of good content only to point out one thing the creator "missed." Only on youtube. smh.

[@eiarsan]

@@oxyvip1455 Yanghwa Bridge was trending in SK at that time but Infinite Challenge significantly boosted his fame and the Yanghwa Bridge views by couple of millions. After I saw the episode (which was just uploaded) I immediately went to KZbin to find that song and I saw every single comments there were basically "who's here because of Infinite Challenge?" The same thing happened with Hyukoh with their wing wing song. and that's a good thing.

One of my favorite Kpop artists hands down. I've been lucky enough to see him live twice and I've rarely seen something more impressive. It was just one guy on an empty stage accompanied only by a DJ and it was riveting. "Snow" was also a masterpiece! Great work Nathan. 💚

[@kanyin.f4488]

'Hello Tutorial' is my favourite song of his. I remember coming across and just listening to it on repeat for like a week straight. His and Seulgi's vocals together are soo pleasing to the ears.

[@Kamranmc_]

Zion.t is one of the most talented artists out here, i love every single song hes made cuz you can tell he took his time making all his songs unique and special!

[@tootall4456]

Can someone explain please? I thought Zion.T is most likely a r&b singer and I understand that r&b and hip hop started from the black culture, but why did the producers invite him to smtm? No hate to him, I loved every songs he's made and I truly respect him as an artist

[@faithitafajita]

I always really connected with Zion T. when I first listened to Eat. It’s my favorite Korean song. I shared it with my sister who isn’t a kpop fan but she loved the song and knows every word of the song. To this day, this song is so important to me, simple but healing. Every time he comes out with something new, I’m always right there for it because Zion T is amazing.

[@Malicitel]

I was literally thinking of "what happened to zion.t?" today and lol this video happened! I love his music so much. thanks for sharing this!

[@waymin5764]

His "NO MAKE UP" is always on my playlist.

[@corn8591]

he was one of the first artists I discovered back in 2014 his music really hits a nerve and his smooth voice matched up with his heavenly beats drives me crazy i can't wait for his next project to drop

[@zunia13]

I am a die hard Zion.T stan and I gotta admit this was a very good video, it seems like you got his general vibe very well. What I want to point out though is that him and Crush had been very close before the release of their song together - Crush even said Zion.T was the one who encouraged him to become an rnb singer after his duo project with Cheetah didn’t do well. Apart from that a lot of other major rnb singers in Korea said how Zion.T had been their inspiration or they want to collaborate with him like G.Soul for example. I wish more k-music stans actually gave Zion.T recognition for being the og rnb artist since he was one of or maybe even the first artist to feature on so many hiphop songs and do experimental rnb/soul. When you talked about him and GD working together I feel like it was also the other way round - the collaboration came out after the hit song See Through blew up and GD really loved it and wanted a similar track on his album and that’s how I Love It was created. At the end I just wanna add how Zion.T is one of a kind and he keeps delivering more new sounds with every release while also staying true to himself and there’s no one else that can beat him in that.

[@naiimaxo22]

He’s truly my favourite male solo artist✨✨ he has unique voice that nobody has and that’s why he stood out to me.

[@monikashay5772]

Never forget his collab with Jonghyun for Deja-Boo 💖

I rarely comment but i had to thank you for this video! Zion T. is my favorite artist of all time! Every time i listen to his songs, they always sound new and just as beautiful and fun as the first time I heard it. His songs make me cry or laugh and its amazing how his songs can make someone who doesn’t understand the language feel so much emotions. I really hope this video finds people who don’t know who he is and inspires them to look him up. Zion T. has a song for everyone and i feel many will fall in love with his music if they listen. Thank you again, your videos are always well researched and amazing! I look forward to seeing who you will do next!

[@RAZBRY]

Mannn I wish Amoeba Culture kept it's head at the top of the KHH/R&B game alongside AOMG. Or maybe I just want more Dynamic Duo and Zion T / Crush collabs. But seeing Amoeba evolve into a powerhouse umbrella label for fresh HH/R&B artists like Jay Parks labels would have been awesome

I am so glad & happy to have found this vid of yours... i accidentally happen to have watched Zion T when he had his first appearance at Sketchbook (KBS) & I got hooked! by the way, I'm one of his international fan... let's say I'm a quiet fan of ZionT. As you have said there are limited info about him & that actually makes me like him even more... like they said less is more. I really really love his UNIQUE tone & style of music & singing. he has his own distinct sound & his songs are so relatable & it touches you in a very strange way, (i mean good strange vibe.) I don't know Korean thus i always look for an English translation of his songs. I wish & hope to watch him perform live... well miracles do happen so I'm still optimistic. thanks again & will watch this again & again & again ... heheh :) God bless you & more power!

I knew him since he was featuring with Infinite H then i listened Yanghwa BRDG because he was almost in every award ceremony bcs of that song. His song brought up tears but his other side track also good as well and uplifting. I also listen some of his featuring song with gdragon, crush, colde but my favorite is Snow featuring Lee Moonsae because it hits my heart with his soothing voice and jazz beautiful smooth melody that brought me to follow him until today and dream to see him in real life someday. Such a pity you didnt mention about when he was in infinity challenge and Snow but its okay, you already did well i can see you are his fans Now i'm listening May, its totally absolute great song that suits with autumn winter vibe ❤❤❤
