Zion.T drops '연희동에서' and announces first solo concert in 9 years

Night walks and a new single

Zion.T (Kim Hae-sol, 37) dropped the digital single 연희동에서 on October 15 at 6 PM. The track circles around nighttime streets and alleyways in Yeonhui-dong, the Seoul neighborhood where he's lived for several years.

He marked the release with a post: "여긴 파출소 타일도 핑크 이제 올릴 게 없어요" — roughly, even the police box tiles here are pink, nothing left to post.

Where this lands in his catalog

Zion.T debuted with Click Me in 2011 and built his reputation in R&B and soul through his first full-length, Red Light, in 2013. 양화대교 arrived in 2014, won Best R&B·Soul Song at the Korean Popular Music Awards, and stuck around as his signature track. A year later, 꺼내 먹어요 climbed to No. 1 on multiple music charts and finished third on one platform's annual chart. That run pushed him into the mainstream.

Since then:

• 2017 — 2nd full-length OO
• 2018 — EP ZZZ
• 2023 — 3rd full-length Zip, title track 모르는 사람 (MV featured actor Choi Min-sik)
• August 2025 — EP POSER

He runs StandardFriends, his own company founded in 2022, where he serves as CEO and artist.

The concert that's been 9 years coming

연희동에서 lands before Zion.T 2026 LIVE, a two-night solo concert at GS Art Center in Seoul on November 14 and 15. His first solo show in nine years. The setlist is expected to include 양화대교, 꺼내 먹어요, the new single, and tracks from his recent albums.
