The group ZEROBASEONE (Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Jang Ha-o, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Kyu-bin, Park Gun-wook, Han Yu-jin) will release their 5th mini album ‘BLUE PARADISE’ at 6 PM today (the 24th).

ZEROBASEONE‘s comeback comes about 6 months after the release of their 4th mini album ‘CINEMA PARADISE’. With their sights set on achieving ‘5 consecutive million sellers’, here are three reasons why people are looking forward to ZEROBASEONE’s new album.

● The ‘Paradise’ two-part series has been completed… Deeper Emotions

If Zero Base One presented a colorful narrative like a movie through their previous work, ‘Cinema Paradise’, they deal with even deeper emotions through ‘Blue Paradise’.

The album contains the message, ‘Even sad (BLUE) moments are a part of life, and the way we try hard despite them is splendid and beautiful in itself.’. Ultimately, it emphasizes that paradise is inside all of us, and portrays the nine members who have matured both inside and outside of music.

● Included their first unit song since debut… Evolved musical capabilities

This album, which includes a total of 6 songs, unravels emotions such as sadness, anxiety, addiction, growing pains, obsession, and deviation that arise in the process of finding ‘Blue Paradise’, as if continuing a mystery game, into a single narrative.

You can also experience the evolved musical capabilities of ZeroBaseOne in the debut unit songs ‘Out of Love (Kim Ji-woong, Jang Hao, Kim Kyu-bin)’, ‘Step Back (Ricky, Park Gun-wook, Han Yu-jin)’, and ‘Cruel (Sung Han-bin, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae)’. You can experience the solidified vocal capabilities and emotional expressions of ZeroBaseOne, who have continued to grow since their debut.

● Support fire from Kenzie… ‘Mysterious Refreshing’ Preview

The title song ‘Blue’ is the second collaboration between ZeroBaseOne and global hitmaker KENZIE. It utilizes the ambivalent meaning of the word ‘Blue’ to sing about ‘a sad but beautiful fateful love’. The contrast between the cool synth sound and emotional vocals creates a mysterious refreshing feeling.

The music video released with the song captures ZeroBaseOne on their journey to find ‘Blue Paradise’. The future is full of unpredictable mysteries, but it sensually expresses how such experiences will accumulate to help us grow further.

ZeroBaseOne‘s 5th mini album ‘Blue Paradise’ will be released today (the 24th) at 6 p.m. through various music sites.
