Zico was one of the guests on the May 3 episode of 'Taxi,' and he got a little personal about the dilemma he suffered during and after his tenure as a judge on 'Show Me the Money 4' last year.  

Zico explained, "Zion.T has established himself in the indie scene. There really weren't any judgements toward him. But I'm active in the idol market, and I didn't really showcase much on my own. So when I decided to go on 'Show Me the Money 4,' [people] said, 'Who do you think you are to be a judge [on 'SMTM'] and I got cursed out a lot."

Despite all the strong dissent and generally negative response to his decision to go on 'SMTM 4,' Zico had still gone on the show. The idol explained, "I didn't [go on the show] with the object of showing what a good rapper I am but I wanted to show that I can make decent tracks as a producer." 

Zico went on to spill, "At the time I was on 'SMTM 4,' I would curse as I judged [other rappers] but as soon as I stepped off the set, I went back to my idol activities so I felt confused [about who I am]."
