Over Zion.T
With a sensibility straddling R&B and hip-hop, South Korean singer Zion.T has landed nine Top 10 hits in South Korea since he began releasing music in 2011.
• Though Zion.T (real name Kim Hae-sol) has cited American rapper T-Pain as an influence, the “T” in his name represents the cross—a reference to his Christian faith.
• Zion.T released his debut LP, Red Light, in 2013. The 11-track collection won Best R&B & Soul Album at the Korean Music Awards in 2014.
• He had the first of five No. 1 singles as lead artist a year later with the non-album track “Yanghwa Bridge.”
• Zion.T has been the featured singer on two additional chart-toppers, both in 2015: Jonghyun’s “Déjà Boo” and Zico’s “Eureka.”
• The singer has been nominated for a slew of awards in his career. His wins include Best Male Vocal Performance at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in 2015 for his song “Eat” and R&B Discovery of the Year at the Gaon Chart Music Awards in 2016.
