ZEROBASEONE member Zhang Hao marked a pleasant start by lifting a trophy before the comeback.
On the 28th, Zhang Hao was awarded first place in the Original Soundtrack (OST) category of the 'Global Netizens Award' at the 7th Newsis Hallyu Expo (hereafter '2025 K-Expo').
The 'Global Netizens Award' OST category was newly established this year, and Zhang Hao was delighted to win with the TVING original 'EXchange' OST 'I WANNA KNOW.'
Zhang Hao said, "'I WANNA KNOW' is the first OST I sang alone. I never imagined I would receive such love, and I'm truly happy. Having grown under the positive influence of Hallyu, I have been able to work in Korea. Receiving this meaningful award in a meaningful place motivates me to work harder to be loved worldwide. Thank you, fans. I will become a proud artist."
'I WANNA KNOW' is a song that expresses the thrill of wanting to know every little detail about someone else. It is a medium-tempo track accentuated by an acoustic guitar and beautiful piano lines that add a refreshing feeling, enhanced by Zhang Hao's unique warm tone.
Notably, upon its release, Zhang Hao's 'I WANNA KNOW' topped the Circle Chart download chart and entered 9th place on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, showing balanced popularity both domestically and internationally.
ZEROBASEONE, of which Zhang Hao is a member, will release its first full-length album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' on September 1. 'NEVER SAY NEVER' is the first regular album that ZEROBASEONE presents after its debut and decorates the most brilliant highlights of the musical journey built together with ZEROSE (the fandom). Achieving '5 consecutive million sellers' and entering the 'Billboard 200,' ZEROBASEONE has written a new history in K-pop with each comeback and aims to deliver a powerful message that 'nothing is impossible.'
