Rapper ZICO from boy band Block B swept Korean music charts on Tuesday with his new song

“Boys and Girls.”

The hip-hop number featuring vocalist Babylon topped charts on the nation’s eight poplar online music websites, including Melon, Bugs, Mnet and Olleh Music.

ZICO, 23, released his latest single album on Tuesday, which includes the song. The song’s music video was also released online.

The musician, who debuted with the band in 2011, shed his usual tough-guy image in the video and acted with fresher, more playful charm.
