Zico leaving Block B after 7 years

Zico has decided to part ways with boy group Block B following the expiry of his five-year contract with agency Seven Seasons.

The musician will focus on his solo career and is expected to make a comeback sometime next year, following his first solo domestic concert, entitled The

King Of The Zungle. He is also likely to set up a one-man agency, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Seven Season’s remaining six members — Taeil, U-Kwon, Park Kyung, B-Bomb, Jaehyo, and P.O — have extended their contracts. Zico — real name Woo Ji-ho — had been the leader and main songwriter since 2011.
