The group ZEROBASEONE (ZEROBASEONE) once again proved its stature as a "global top tier."
ZEROBASEONE (Sung Hanbin, Kim Ji-ung, Jang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, Park Geon-uk, Han Yoo-jin) recently showcased its global stature by being named "K-Pop Artist of the Year" by the global record event Record Store Day (Record Store Day).
Record Store Day is an international event held around the world, including the United States, to promote the development of independent record stores, and each year it supports that purpose by selling limited records by famous artists.
To commemorate this, ZEROBASEONE will exclusively release a limited-edition vinyl (LP) of their first full-length album NEVER SAY NEVER. This vinyl will be pressed in a special edition "Cookie Monster" blue color and is expected to include a gatefold package, a vinyl-only poster, and a nine-piece photocard set featuring exclusive images of each member.
ZEROBASEONE said, "We are deeply honored to be selected as Record Store Day's 'K-Pop Artist of the Year.' 2025 was an amazing year in which we were able to achieve what we have always dreamed of. We thank everyone who made these great results possible, especially ZEROSE (our fandom)."
The first full-length album NEVER SAY NEVER marks an important milestone in ZEROBASEONE's musical journey. After the "Youth" trilogy and the "Paradise" two-part series, ZEROBASEONE completed the most iconic TEAM ZB1 synergy and, for those who dream of something special in ordinary reality, expressed an unrelenting spirit of challenge with the encouraging message that "there is no such thing as impossible (NEVER SAY NEVER)" if you don't give up.
NEVER SAY NEVER entered the Billboard 200, the main U.S. Billboard albums chart, at No. 23 shortly after its domestic release in September, setting a personal best.
Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE's Record Store Day limited-edition vinyl will be sold locally in the United States starting on Apr. 18, and further details can be found on the official website.
