When he consumes a lot of alcohol, he starts barking and people call him “crazy,” or “loco.”

His rapper name came from his nickname “Strongest….” Uh yea…”that” part that’s specific in males..

His name means what you think it means…Black NUT

Zion.T (Kim Hae Sol)
“Zion” refers to the capital of Jerusalem as designated by David, and “T” was chosen because it resembles a cross. (Zion.T is a church oppa).
