On September 18, ZICO traveled to Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea to perform at the 2018 Inter-Korean Summit.

In a phone interview with Yonhap News Agency, ZICO first talked about the beautiful scenery of Mount Paekdu in North Korea.

During the show held on September 18, South Korean first lady Kim Jung-sook introduced ZICO as "the hottest person of the delegation".
In regard to this, ZICO commented, "She really introduced me that way. Then I said, 'I'm ZICO a singer. Glad to meet you'."
He continued, "I was worried that hip-hop might not fit with the event since it's relatively an unfamiliar genre to them. But the audience's reaction was beyond my expectation."
He added, "I usually say 'Put your hands up' in English for my performances, but I said it in Korean instead. Then the entire audience put their hands up high."

President Moon Jae-in's visit was the first by a South Korean leader to the North Korean capital in 11 years.
