'We have learned that through thick and thin, we are able to overcome anything if we are to work as one.' –Bumjun official2z
and music, both of which are embedded in much of Korean idol music. In that landscape, 2Z’s candid stance in support of the Black community, especially as a rookie group, came as a pleasant and encouraging surprise. Black fans began sharing more information about 2Z on Twitter, appreciating both their willingness to engage in issues fans care about, and their more rock-oriented sound.
Signed to agency Morph Management and music label GOGO2020, the group of models/musicians first debuted as K-rock band 2Z with five members: Bumjun, Hyunwoong, Hojin, Jiseob, and Junghyun on January 14, 2020. Main rapper Hyunwoong left the group in June to pursue other projects, but they’ve since added new member ZUNON to round out the fivesome. In the eight months since debut, they've set out to make a name for themselves in the Korean music industry and abroad.
“[The younger generation]’s existence itself has unimaginable value,” Hojin says when explaining “Doctor” and its meaning. “We have to realize that the world will never change unless we change it. The world is what we make of it. Music has always been our best friend in finding comfort, joy and excitement since the beginning of time. We believe that our music can be that friend to our listeners.”
Even in the less than a year since they began, 2Z has evolved musically and stylistically. Part of that evolution has come with personal growth as well, as they learn how to use their platform for good and also acknowledge when they make mistakes. Shortly after their viral Instagram photo, former member Hyunwoong shared a song on his personal Instagram account in honor of Black Lives Matter, but he used audio from George Floyd’s arrest.
