Urban Zakapa, an acronym for Urban Zappy Kaleidoscopic Passionate, is a South Korean contemporary R&B and acoustic music group that has developed a distinct sound that resonates with both critics and fans alike. The group began as a nine-member ensemble in 2009 but later became a trio consisting of Park Yong-in, Jo Hyun-ah, and Kwon Soon-il. They are recognized for their smooth vocal harmonies and engaging storytelling lyrics that often talk about love, longing, and personal reflection.

The group's music effortlessly bridges the gap between R&B, soul, and acoustic pop, allowing them to build a diverse discography that captures various moods and experiences. Urban Zakapa has contributed to numerous soundtracks for popular Korean dramas, with notable works such as "Now, We Are Breaking Up (Original Television Soundtrack), Pt. 8" and "HOSPITAL PLAYLIST (Original Television Soundtrack), Pt. 5." They have also collaborated with multiple artists, including the track "Seoul Night" featuring rapper Beenzino. Their album "[05]" further highlights their ability to craft introspective and emotive tracks, solidifying their standing in the Korean music industry as a group that can deliver both hit songs and artistic integrity.
