During the interview, Yoo Hee Yeol asked Zico which producers he respected and�he replied, "Of course Yoo Hee Yeol sunbaenim, Lee Hyun Do sunbaenim, and Seo Taiji sunbaenim." He continued, "Seo Taiji sunbaenim is a person who released everything from an early age and shifted the Korean culture itself. I think that reason alone is enough to respect and look up to him. Even now, his name makes my heart pound."

Zico also went onto explain why he decided to appear on 'Show Me The Money 6', "I thought that the fourth season was going to be the last season so I wanted to be part of the show when it reached its peak. That's why I decided to appear on the show despite�the backlashes and criticisms. This season is the same. I think it's going to be the last season. There are so many talented people on the show right now that when I look back at the show after filming here and there, I can see that I improved as well."
