Zico brings hip hop to North Korea

Zico was impressed by the North Korean’s reaction to his hip-hop performance at the three-day inter-Korean summit held last week.

The rapper and producer, along with artists Ailee, Kim Hyeong-seok, Ali and others, were part of a cultural delegation accompanied by South Korean President Moon Jae-in during his visit to Pyongyang, where Zico performed his 2017 song Artist at a banquet. In an interview with Yonhap
