Template:Infobox Korean name/auto Kim Hae-sol (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".;[2] born April 13, 1989[3]), known professionally as Zion.T (Script error: No such module "Lang".), is a South Korean hip hop and R&B singer-songwriter. He has released 2 studio albums, Red Light (2013)[4] and Zip (2023),[5] as well as 3 EPs. He has also been featured on tracks by K-pop artists such as G-Dragon, Zico, and Psy.

Personal life

In a 2014 interview, Zion.T explained that he chose his stage name because "I am a Christian and so the "T" in my name is representative of the cross."[6]

In a 2017 interview, he said he was influenced by the American musician T-Pain. "There was a time when T-Pain's style of hip hop vocals were in. I really like T-Pain, so I used to emulate him a lot. This is something only my friends know, but I even had the nickname 'Zion.T-Pain'."[7]

On April 5, 2024, JYP Entertainment confirmed that Zion.T was in a relationship with Twice member, Chaeyoung.[8]

Career

Zion.T made his musical debut in 2011, collaborating with Korean hip hop artists such as Dok2, Crucial Star, Simon D, Primary and Gray. His first single, "Click Me", featuring Dok2, was released in April 2011.

On April 9, 2013, Zion.T's first studio album, Red Light, was released with the title track "Babay", featuring Gaeko.[4][9]

That year, he featured on tracks by Infinite H, Dynamic Duo, Swings and G-Dragon.[10] In December, he released the EP Mirrorball ("Script error: No such module "Lang".") with the title track "Miss Kim" (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[11]

In 2014, he released the digital single "Yanghwa BRDG", which became a hit and contributed to his rising mainstream success as an artist in Korea.[12]

He also appeared on the soundtrack of the television drama series Pinocchio with the song "Kiss Me",[13] and featured on songs by Seo In-young and The Quiett.[citation needed]

On February 1, 2015, he collaborated with the Korean R&B singer Crush on the single "Just" (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[14] The same year, he released the digital singles "Zero Gravity" (Script error: No such module "Lang".), "Eat" (Script error: No such module "Lang".)[15] and "No Make Up" (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and featured on singles by SHINee's Jonghyun, Yankie and Psy. That July, he participated in the biennial music festival event hosted by the MBC variety show Infinite Challenge, which resulted in a spike in domestic sales of his previously released singles.[16] For the event, he partnered with the Infinite Challenge cast member Haha to perform under the name Eutteugeottasi (Script error: No such module "Lang".) with the song "$ponsor", later released in an album of the songs performed at the event.[17]

Zion.T finished the year with two wins at the annual Mnet Asian Music Awards: Best Vocal Performance (Male) for "Eat " Script error: No such module "Lang". and Best Collaboration, with Crush, for the song "Just" Script error: No such module "Lang"., beating more well-established artistes in an idol-focused industry.[18]

In 2016, following the end of his contract with the hip hop label Amoeba Culture, he signed with The Black Label, a sub-label of YG Entertainment.[19][20] On February 1, 2017, he released his first EP under The Black Label, OO.[21][unreliable source?]

In December 2017, he released his collaboration with the veteran singer Lee Moon-se, the song "Snow". It topped all major music charts in South Korea. Lee Moon-se said he listened to Zion.T's song more than 200 times to faithfully represent his song, and showed great affection towards Zion.T and his musical career.[22]

In August 2022, Zion.T established his own entertainment company, Standard Friends, and signed Wonstein as his first artist. He will still be represented by The Black Label as a singer.[23][24]
