ZICO Embraces MZ Culture: Pilates, Hot Pot, and Photo Booth Adventures

ZICO fully immerses himself in the MZ generation's vibe.

On his YouTube channel 'ZICO', the artist shared a vlog titled 'Experiencing MZ Culture: Pilates, Hot Pot, and Photo Booth with ZICO'.

In the video, ZICO mentions, "I've been getting feedback that I'm falling behind on trends and need to get closer to MZ culture." He decided to start with a Pilates class to improve his posture. ZICO admitted, "Those who know me well are aware that my posture is quite poor. I've been slouching around, thinking it was hip-hop style, but it's time to change that." He added, "Today, I'll get my posture corrected in Pilates and check my condition."

After a challenging Pilates session, ZICO remarked, "Pilates is no joke. It really clears your mind." He then visited a popular hot pot restaurant among the MZ generation. ZICO shared, "I've been going there for years, but people keep asking if I've ever been. It's a bit of a blow to my pride."

At the hot pot restaurant, ZICO was slightly overwhelmed by the tablet menu, saying, "Why are there so many options now?" and resorted to searching online for guidance. He even made a sauce following instructions over the phone. The restaurant has a tradition of taking a 'courtesy shot' with a favorite artist's photo card, which ZICO followed before enjoying his meal.

Reflecting on the experience, ZICO said, "I was acting all confident, but all I did was dip meat in sauce. I realized today that it's not the place I thought it was, and I definitely feel like I've embraced the MZ vibe." After the meal, ZICO visited a photo booth to take pictures with an idol frame, choosing BOYNEXTDOOR's Unhak.
