Kpop industry is as hard as we can imagine, a lot of talented people that wants a spor to shine. Sunmi is having a hard time because Zico, cuz he started the “challenge” culture in South Korea.
Recently we saw an episode of JTBC‘s ‘New Festa,‘ Sunmi, Zico, Kyuhyun, Yoo Hee Yeol, and Yoon Jong Shin talked about Zico’s “Any Song.”
During the conversation, Yoo Hee Yeol said,
“Zico created the ‘Challenge’ culture through ‘Any Song.'” In response, Zico explained, “I didn’t know it would be successful… I just used it as a promotional video. I didn’t know it would turn into a culture.”
then confessed
“I’m having a hard time because of Zico. After ‘Any Song,’ it became an unspoken rule (to do a challenge video).”
We can not imagine the pressure they are living.
responded,
“Actually, people do say to me ‘everyone’s having a hard time because of the ‘challenge’ culture that you started.’ I’m sorry.”
Lets remember Zico made a comeback recently with the track “New Thing (feat. Homies).” After the release, “New Thing” entered the Melon Daily Chart at #83 and steadily climbed the charts. It ranked at #10 on September 12 and then rose to #6 on September 14.
