Kim Hae-sol (born April 13, 1989), known as Zion.T (Hangul: 자이언티), is a South Korean hip hop and R&B singer signed to The Black Label, a subsidiary label of YG Entertainment managed by Teddy Park and Kush. He has released one studio album, Red Light (2013), and two extended plays. He has also been featured on tracks by well-known K-pop artists such as G-Dragon and Zico.

Kim Hae-sol was born on April 13, 1989, in South Korea. He made his musical debut in 2011, collaborating with Korean hip hop artists such as Dok2, Crucial Star, Simon D, Primary, and Gray under the stage name Zion.T. He has stated that he chose this stage name because "I am a Christian and so the “T” in my name is representative of the cross." His first single "Click Me", featuring Dok2, was released in April 2011.

On April 9, 2013, Zion.T's first studio album Red Light was released with title track "Babay", featuring Gaeko. The album was critically well received. That year, he featured on tracks by Infinite H, Dynamic Duo, Swings, and G-Dragon. In December, he released the EP Mirrorball (미러볼) with the title track "Miss Kim (미스 김)".

In 2014, he promoted the digital single "Yanghwa BRDG", which became a hit and contributed to his rising mainstream success as an artist in Korea. The song's honest, personal nature connected with a wide range of audiences. He also appeared on the soundtrack of television drama series Pinocchio with the song "Kiss Me", and featured on songs by Seo In-young and The Quiett.
