An important point of interest was the involvement of Genesis sparsely As director of the music video. Cho, renowned for creating visually stunning concepts for K-pop icons, has previously worked on memorable projects such as Red velvet‘S Relax AND The Seraphim‘S Unforgivable. Her signature style seems to shine in “Zen” and netizens have noticed!
I have thoughts. What I will say right now is that the choir is amazing, Cho gi Seok is a legend and will forever be a legend and the power he is exuding is rooted in true authenticity and that translates so well. https://t.co/nudfm34pdj
