Group ZEROBASEONE‘s Kim Kyu-bin showed his admiration for singer G-Dragon.

On the 24th, 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) held a showcase to commemorate the release of their 5th mini-album [BLUE PARADISE].

ZEROBASEONE will be making a comeback around the same time as other great singers including G-Dragon. Regarding this, Kim Kyu-bin said on this day, “I’ve always respected G-Dragon sunbae. It‘s an honor to be promoting at the same time. I carried a pair of sneakers made by G-Dragon sunbae to every schedule during the last ‘MAMA‘, but unfortunately I haven’t received them yet. If you see this article, please sign them,” making everyone laugh by sending a love call instead of showing his determination to promote.

If Zero Base One presented a colorful narrative like a movie through their previous work [Cinema Paradise], they cover 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.’ The emotions such as sadness, anxiety, addiction, growing pains, obsession, and deviation that arise in the process of finding [Blue Paradise] are unraveled as a single narrative as if continuing a mystery game.

The title song ‘Blue (BLUE)’ is the second collaboration between Zero Base One and hitmaker KENZIE. The song, which utilizes the ambivalent meaning of the word ‘Blue’, sings about ‘a sad but beautiful fateful love’, presenting a mysterious refreshing feeling.

The new album contains a total of six songs, including the title track, the first unit song since their debut, ’Out of Love (Kim Ji-woong, Jang Ha-o, Kim Kyu-bin), ’Step Back (Ricky, Park Gun-wook, Han Yu-jin), ’Cruel (Sung Han-bin, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae), ‘Devil Game’, and the pre-released track ’Doctor! Doctor!‘.

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