Singer Sunmi said she is having a hard time because of the challenge culture created by Zico.
On JTBC’s music entertainment program “New Festa“, which aired in August, Zico, Sunmi, Kyuhyun, Yoo Hee-yeol and Yoon Jong-shin talked about “Any Song”.
When Yoo Hee-yeol said “Zico created the challenge culture with ‘Any Song’.” Zico confessed, “I didn’t know it would do well. I thought it would only be used for promotional purposes. I didn’t know it would become a culture.”
Hearing Zico’s words, Sunmi complained, “I’m having a hard time because of Zico. It became a ‘national rule’ after ‘Any Song’.”
Zico apologized, “Many people told me, ‘Everyone is having a hard time because of the challenge culture you made.’ I’m sorry.”
Meanwhile, Zico made a comeback with “New Thing (Prod. ZICO) (Feat. Homies) on September 6th. After its release, “New Thing” entered the Melon Daily Chart at #83 then ranked #10 on September 12th and #6 on September 14th, showing a steady upward trend.
