ZICO & Lilas’s ‘DUET’ Drops, Blending Tokyo & Seoul Vibes Like a Culinary Masterpiece! 🎶🥢🏙️

Hello Korea Fam! Your urban explorer, Eric Choi, is here with some piping hot news that’s got the K-Pop world buzzing louder than a Seoul night market! 🍜 We’re talking about none other than our multi-talented main man, ZICO, who just treated us to a feast for the eyes and ears with the lyric video for his new single, ‘DUET’! ✨

Released on December 22nd at 10 PM KST, this isn’t just any lyric video. It’s a vibrant journey featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the actual music video shoot in Japan, starring none other than the sensational Japanese musician, Lilas (known to many as YOASOBI’s ikura)! The whole vibe is incredibly exotic and fresh, truly capturing the essence of an international collaboration. 🌏

Speaking of collaborations, the lyrics of ‘DUET’ perfectly encapsulate the meeting of these two musical powerhouses. We’re talking poetic lines like “Tokyo to Seoul, 時空を超えて” (Tokyo to Seoul, transcending time and space) and “二人で重ねる melody” (A melody we build together), seamlessly blending Japanese and Korean. And then, ZICO Oppa hits us with his signature flow: “정반대의 음색, 따로 노는 그림체” (Opposite timbres, distinct palettes) and “물감을 섞듯이 swirl swirl 연주해 Let’s duet” (Like mixing paints, swirl swirl, play it, Let’s duet). Both artists poured their unique musical colors into their respective parts, making this a truly harmonious blend. 🎨🎤

The behind-the-scenes footage in the lyric video is also a treat! You can feel the easy, free-spirited energy between ZICO, Lilas, and the diverse dancers, giving us a peek into the fun and lively atmosphere on set. It’s truly inspiring to see such creative synergy! ✨

The inspiration behind ‘DUET’? A fascinating question: “What if I performed a duet with an ideal partner?” This imaginative concept brought together two giants: ZICO, a titan of Korean hip-hop, and Lilas, a representative voice of Japanese band music. The excitement surrounding their collaboration was massive even before the drop! Interestingly, the same talented producers who worked on ZICO’s mega-hit ‘SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)’ also contributed to the composition and lyrics of ‘DUET’, ensuring top-tier quality. 🔥

And let’s talk about chart domination, Global K-Fans! ‘DUET’ is not just walking, it’s sprinting to the top! Here’s a quick rundown of its impressive performance:
