The group ZEROBASEONE has encountered simultaneous joys before their comeback.
According to the U.S. music media outlet Billboard, the title track 'BLUE' from ZEROBASEONE (Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Bin, Park Gunwook, Han Yujin)'s mini album 'BLUE PARADISE' has been selected as the 7th best K-Pop song of 2025.
Billboard noted, "'BLUE' is a song composed by legendary K-Pop composer Kenji, delivering a bittersweet sensibility through a dynamic dance-pop track. The refreshing synth sound is complemented by emotional vocals that evoke both nostalgia and hope. This song enriches ZEROBASEONE's beautiful collection of pop music. In particular, Taerae's high notes maximize the emotion of the track, adding a touching moment to ZEROBASEONE's discography."
'BLUE' is a song that maximizes the charm of ZEROBASEONE's 'mysterious freshness.' It tells the story of "a sad yet beautiful fateful love" by utilizing the dual meanings of the word 'BLUE.' Consequently, 'BLUE PARADISE' surpassed 1.2 million copies in initial sales, earning ZEROBASEONE the unique record of achieving five consecutive million-seller albums since their debut.
Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE will release their first full album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' on September 1. Ahead of that, they will pre-release the track 'SLAM DUNK' on July 23.
'SLAM DUNK' is a track in the EDM & HIPHOP genre that evokes an unscripted drama unfolding on a basketball court. With the message "It's not over until it's over," listeners can fully experience ZEROBASEONE's refreshing and vigorous energy.
