VerdjAmarelo - Greenn'Yellow Tunes is Zona $ul's first full Brazilian album. It was released in September 23rd, 2019. The album was mostly promoted online but they did give interviews and performed in popular Brazilian shows. The two songs who were mainly promoted where VerdjAmarelo and Pipa, which both recieved their own music videos. The songs were mostly chill beats and had a nostalgic feeling to them, the lyrics mostly expressed appreciation to their home country’s places and culture. The songs became very popular domestically and helped them get to make their first concert in their home city, Natal. They traveled back to Brazil to record the music videos and promoted the songs so they invited a lot of their friends to participate on them.

Tracks and lyrics overview - Under the cut
VerdjAmarelo - 3:29 (vibes to Zico’s Any Song)
VerdjAmarelo talks about how beautiful Brazil is and the wonders of living near the beach, which was the boys’ reality before they were to leave. They also referred to the poem “Canção do Exílio” in the lyrics, expressing how much they missed their home.
Pipa - 3:49 (vibes to WOODZ’s Waikiki)
The song talked about the wonders of Pipa beach, a place they confessed to visit constantly for vacations and that they loved and missed deeply.
Ai, ai, ai - 3:48 (vibes to Gabriel o Pensador’s A Cura Tá no Coração)
This song was more rap-focused, but still sounded calm and chill. It talked about the current political situations of the country, quoting Bolt during an interview, “Well, since, I guess, every single brazilian artist has a critique song, I guess that’s ours?”
Churrasco&Coca-Cola - 2:46 (vibes to Han SungWoon’s Get Ready)
This one has a more upbeat sound to it, and it’s just about having birthday parties at home, eating churrasco and drinking coca-cola, just dudes chilling.
Água de Coco - 3:12 (vibes to EXO’s Ko Ko Bop)
Another one about beaches, this time, they mention beaches in general, even mentioning some names. They just talk about drinking coconut water and vibe.
Arroz com Feijão - 4:00 (vibes to Kanto’s YOSM)
This one is about their childhoods and how much they miss their mom’s rice and beans as lunch everyday, it’s just them being sad and missing home.
Barulho - 4:13 (vibes to A.C.E’s SAVAGE)
The only song with the heavy beat they’re used to do in their Korean discography, it’s about partying and making noise.
Motel [Explicit] - 3:35 (vibes to WayV’s Love Talk)
Another chill song, however, this one had explicit lyrics about going into a motal and having sex. This one caused some problems for them and their korean fans, to which Wasabi responded: “Our Korean music has nothing to do with our Brazilian music. Think of Korean and Brazilian Sona $ul as completely different groups.” which didn’t solve the problem but made it smaller at least.
Dever de Casa (Bolt&Wasabi) - 2:12 (vibes to Mamamoo’s Sleep in the Car)
Just Bolt and Wasabi being silly and rapping about not wanting to do homework as kids.

Killing Me M/V aesthetics
Era Styling
Era Highlights
so rapper sabi rapper sabi
& Zona $ul emo hours 😔
The styling was kinda bleh compared to what they usually go for but it's ok
Sabi did throw a fit in private like "wE LOOK THE SAME ARE WE WEARING UNIFORMS OR????" but he survived
Sabi's dancing was one of the best ones this era he still talks abt it today 🥺
The vlives,,, they wildin
They finally stopped being so shy on camera (minus lil sabi) so lots of punching and screaming and Sabi looking mortified like "please get me out LET ME GO HOME"
He was still very socially awkward but his brothers helped him and you could feel the difference at the end of the era
Bolt long curly black hair 🥺 Sabi medium brown hair and Dani short short brown hair the way he likes it they loved their hairstyles this era
A lot of fans joked about how Bolt only had 1(one) hairstyle because it was the second time in a row (read. the iconic soccer boys era and many others to go he really likes this hairstyle
The M/V was very dark a lotta ppl complained you could barely see a lot of scenes Royal goofed again :/
But again they had a lot of fun 7/10
THEIR FIRST FANSIGN
They already had a lot of fans and it sold out in the first week they were like :0 y'know
Bolt hated he had to hold their hands and stuff bc y'know he's just not into physical contact
They all had a lot of fun talking to fans and eating snacks secretly (and also giving them a bit)
God that's when Bolt starting getting lowkey paranoid abt his mole bc everyone wanted to poke it like "????? tf get away from my fACE" but it's ok he's ok akfjskgk
The first time they made a Portuguese version today they cringe hard at it but it's there lol
Overall good vibes wow Royal actually promoted them we're all shook
They held some VLives and it was so much fun, as always they joked around and their sister showed up a lot more too
After they finished promotions, Sabi decided to take a break for a few days while Bolt and Dani kept releasing more things for the fans
Like some covers !! Stray Kids’ God’s Menu, Sunmi’s Gashina, and Momoland’s BOOM BOOM with their sister
Lots of pictures of Cecília too because she’s babie
Lots of interactions between Fantasia and Zona $ul mainly because of Ailee feat. clowning each other on social media
Also their Tiktok omg-
Lots of dance challenges and bad jokes half the fandom loved it and the other half cringed everytime it was mentioned but hey content is content
They got one of Royal’s smaller studios and recorded a performance of Not Shy with Leo and it was much fun and they made short Tiktok videos too
They also made a dance practice video for HYLT but dressed as fruits. Sabi was a watermelon, Bolt was a banana and Dani was a strawberry
Sabi and Bolt were so extra about it they even convinced the makeup art team to give them fruit themed makeup while Dani was there with his shitty strawberry costume and messy hair like “guys stop they’re not even gonna see our faces well we’ll be far from the camera”
to compensate that they posted a lot of selfies to show off their fuit makeup and no one understoon anything until the video was posted
People were making fun of Bolt’s selca in the photocard so he posted “if y’all keep making fun of my selcas next time your Bolt photocard will be a picture of my dog” and he was serious
not everyone stopped joking about it tho agfhfd
also they made a version of HYLT in Portuguese because b-Rich Kidz needed to be fed lol
I think i’ll stop for now in the next few days we shall find out what Bolt did to his hair :)
TOP GANG is Zona $ul's Korean debut single from back when it was still known as RichKidz Nation. It was released in 06/20/2016. It was well received by the public and got one music show win.
The M/V
[sorry no image I really can't think of anything skfhsj]
The music video was heavily focused on performance, they showcased their fierce and powerful choreography and rap as the video showed them around money, gold, cars and luxury, wearing expensive clothing and flezing their money.
Styling and Highlights
The styling was all over the place, they said it was the concept and that they all chose their own outfits for stages, M/V and etc
Bolt's hair was still super short due to him being back from the military service recently so all he could do was dye it (think wooseok in naughty boy era, yes green too, oh god his shirt matches)
They found out they really liked doing lives, so they did them almost once a week at home or their studio
When they got their first win, Wasabi cried, Bolt started screaming and jumping as Dani thanked everyone who supported them
Yes they got scolded for not behaving-
They got a strong Korean fanbase and their international fanbase started showing up a few months later
They were known for their duality, fierce and powerful on stage but a bunch of chaotic goofballs outside of it
Scared the shit out of variety show hosts
The way Bolt started the song saying "rIcH kIdZ" will never be forgotten and he hates it
