Zion.T once again showed his ability to produce hits as contestant SOKODOMO’s “Merry Go Round” featuring Zion.T and Wonstein has captivated listeners and remains on top of major domestic music charts more than a month after its release.

Zion.T made his musical debut collaborating with top Korean artists Simon D, Gray, Beenzino and Dok2 which culminated into his first album, “Red Light” which won “Best R&B & Soul Album” at the Korean Music Awards. Upon the release of “Yanghwa BRDG”, Zion.T cemented himself as an innovator and elevated him to a top star in Korea landing on Forbes “Korea Power Celebrity” list.
