Group ZEROBASEONE members Sung Hanbin and Park Geonwook simultaneously conquered the covers of fashion magazines in three Asian regions, showcasing their global presence.
Sung Hanbin and Park Geonwook recently appeared on the November covers of L'Officiel Malaysia, L'Officiel Hommes Singapore and L'Officiel Hommes Hong Kong. They attracted attention by showing a soft boyish charm in cozy casual looks and demonstrating close chemistry through a variety of poses.
An interview was conducted along with the cover shoot. Leading the warm atmosphere on set, Sung Hanbin said, "My understanding of the members and of each other has deepened. We now naturally know who needs help when, and those instincts seem to have made our teamwork stronger." Park Geonwook added, "As a team, we have learned to consider and respect each other naturally. On stage, we seem to communicate with just a look without speaking."
ZEROBASEONE has been tirelessly active this year, releasing the mini fifth album Blue Paradise (BLUE PARADISE) and the full-length first album Never Say Never (NEVER SAY NEVER) domestically, and the special EP Iconik (ICONIK) in Japan. At the same time, they have launched their large-scale arena 2025 world tour 2025 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR 'HERE&NOW' (hereinafter 'HERE&NOW') and are touring worldwide.
Regarding their continued meetings with fans, Sung Hanbin and Park Geonwook cited 'sincerity' and a 'change in perspective' as their respective driving forces. Sung Hanbin said, "I want to show fans various sides of myself, and that goal keeps me moving. Fans' love and expectations, combined with my passion, seem to become my greatest source of energy." Park Geonwook explained, "At some point my thinking changed to wanting to make the people who love me now happier. Fans make me stronger. They are the reason I can move forward."
Talk of ZEROSE (the fandom name) was inevitable. Sung Hanbin compared ZEROSE to "the fourth leaf of a four-leaf clover," saying, "I met ZEROSE as if by fate, and happiness blossomed within that. To me, ZEROSE is the final leaf that completes the clover," expressing deep affection. Park Geonwook also expressed his love for fans, saying, "ZEROSE is like nitrogen. They keep us alive," and added, "They are always beside us, quietly watching over us and breathing life into us."
Amid successive sellouts, ZEROBASEONE is successfully conducting the 2025 world tour 'HERE&NOW.' After igniting Seoul, Bangkok and Saitama, they will perform today (the 8th) in Kuala Lumpur, on the 15th in Singapore, on Dec. 6 in Taipei and on Dec. 19–21 in Hong Kong, for a total of 12 performances across seven regions.
