Artist and producer ZICO has unveiled the first concept photos for his new single.
On December 15 at 10 PM KST, ZICO shared three photos on his official social media accounts for his new digital single “DUET”. These are the first concept photos taken with renowned Japanese musician LILAS (Yoasobi’s Ikura), who collaborated on the track.
In the photos, the contrasting atmospheres between the two artists immediately catch the eye. ZICO’s casual outfit contrasts with LILAS’s polished style. In another shot, all the surrounding people strike the same pose, a unique, intriguing arm gesture that invites imitation, while ZICO and LILAS remain still in the center of the crowd, sparking curiosity.
This digital single will also feature original merchandise. The album is part of a collaboration with jewelry and fashion brand OHTNYC and offers a bracelet-and-necklace set reflecting the duo concept. Each pendant contains a magnet that brings them together when brought close, allowing the two accessories to connect into a single piece, playfully linking to the title “Duet”.
The digital single “DUET”, released on December 19 at midnight KST, revolves around the idea: “What if you made a duet with the ideal person?” The song highlights the combination of two seemingly opposite styles and worlds. The meeting of ZICO, a symbol of Korean hip-hop, and LILAS, a representative of Japanese group music, is an event in itself. Expectations and interest are particularly high for this collaboration uniting two top-tier artists from Korea and Japan.
On December 20, the day after the single’s release, ZICO will perform “DUET” live for the first time at “THE 17TH MELON MUSIC AWARDS, MMA2025″ at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
