Zior Park is a Korean alt-rap artist who refuses tidy labels. He arrived on the scene with a restless imagination — part hip-hop, part psychedelic alt-pop — and quickly made eccentric visuals as central to his music as the bars themselves. His recent single, “TWISTED FANTASY,” pairs cryptic lyrics about love and self-perception with surreal, dark-humored imagery: a Frankenstein-ish scientist in a theatrical set, a controversial dog-transformation scene. It’s the sort of thing that makes people pause. Then rewind. Then argue.

He doesn’t do plain production. Vocals shift from croon to rapid-fire in a single verse, and the sound is polished but deliberately offbeat. The result? A kind of performance art that lives on streaming platforms and social feeds — YouTube, TikTok, Spotify — and has drawn attention from major outlets, including GRAMMY.com and Weverse Magazine. Two major features. Not bad.

Before “TWISTED FANTASY” came “CHRISTIAN,” a release that leaned into viral trends and widened his audience; it’s where a curiosity about identity morphed into something bolder. He engages with social media, yes, but as a medium, not a measure. He’s experimental, sometimes provocative, often misunderstood. That’s when things changed: critics called him boundary-pushing; fans called him necessary.

Zior Park makes music that complicates the comfortable. He’s equal parts melodist and mischief-maker, a visual director and a writer, always testing the edge between performance and confession. If you come for the hooks, stay for the unease. If you expect easy answers, you’ll be disappointed. And he probably planned it that way.
