Rapper ZICO is refining stage movements, song structures, and costume concepts to enhance his performance for the upcoming Netflix Korea 10th Anniversary Festival.

Rapper ZICO has been reviewing detailed stage movements and direction to increase the perfection of his performance ahead of the Netflix Korea 10th Anniversary Festival.

Discussion on ending using stairs and costume concepts

Before the start of the performance, ZICO finalized stage direction adjustments with staff and colleagues. In particular, the ending scene utilizing the stairs, a stage device, was a major subject of discussion. ZICO suggested ways to increase stage utility by proposing movements such as descending the stairs or using them to ascend at the moment of the ending. As movements on stage affect the flow of the performance, a detailed verification process was also conducted regarding the control of the device to match the timing of the ending.

Discussions regarding costume concepts also continued. In relation to the costumes that determine the atmosphere of the performance, suggestions were exchanged considering mobility on stage. Ways to adjust costumes to suit the stage environment while maintaining an artistic concept were discussed, a process intended to enhance the visual perfection of the performance.

Coordination of song structure and performance details

Specific opinions were also exchanged regarding the song structure that determines the flow of the stage performance. ZICO discussed how to arrange performances during specific sections of the songs. He focused particularly on setting sections that could leave a strong impression on the audience without breaking the flow of the music. Technical reviews were conducted on whether to leave parts of the stage empty to utilize the beauty of empty space or to add specific movements to increase immersion.

ZICO checked the rhythm of the stage by verifying the alignment between the timing of the songs and the choreography. He attended to details on-site to ensure the flow of the songs and the performance could connect naturally, such as confirming the consistency of movements by stating, "I matched the timing to that timing from before." This process was a preparatory stage to maximize the overall composition and visual effects of the stage beyond simple song delivery.

These discussions, which continued until just before the performance, show that ZICO is playing a leading role in overall stage direction, meticulously coordinating everything from song composition to movement and costumes.
