Zico shared his real feelings about working with his friend, BLACKPINK Jennie. What kind of person is the idol musically?
Zico Shares How He Was Able to Work With BLACKPINK Jennie
On April 29, the Block-B member and soloist joined KBS Cool FM's "Park Myung Soo Radio Show" as a guest, where he revealed anecdotes with Jennie amid the popularity of their new collaboration song.
On the 26th, Zico dropped the "SPOT!" (feat. Jennie), and upon its release, it immediately rose to the No. 1 spot in major music charts, including MelOn, Genie, Bugs, and Flo.
While talking about the viral track, DJ Park Myung Soo delved into the story behind Zico working with Jennie.
When asked how he brought up the project to the global K-pop star, Zico replied:
"I originally knew Jennie (personally). But when I request a person for a feature, I try to create the most comfortable atmosphere possible. Anyway, the choice is yours, so make the best song first and let them hear it.
I also tell them, 'If you have anything to say, please tell me, and if you still have any regrets, we can work together on other projects, so please feel free to tell me."

Zico furthered that when the "SOLO" singer heard the song, Jennie reacted positively and even immediately gave her input to it.
"When Jennie was listening to this song, she said she was very excited and said, 'It's fun.' But at the same time, she suggested, "If we release it more like this, wouldn't the song sound cooler?'
That comment became blood and flesh. She's really grown as more mature."
Zico Praises BLACKPINK Jennie's Professionalism
Also, when asked what kind of person is Jennie musically, Zico praised the star, saying:
"She has a very great sensibility. Although we have known each other for a long time personally, it was our first time working together professionally.
I think singers are also creative. They decide on the harmony that suits the track and choose the voice color. The process of creating together in the studio, she has exceptional ability in that area.
She was able to proceed with the work easily because she provided her own options without relying on the director for everything. She's very professional."
Zico also showed his great interest in working with the idol by explaining:
"I tend to not recruit features through the company, but rather do it myself."
He continued:
"I'm rather picky, but in that respect, it felt like Jennie and my strength met. We didn't end with 'This is enough. Is it okay to do this?' and continued. Even after the music video was released, we continued to discuss it and this is the result."
