Group Zero Base One has revealed their special ‘fandom’ for their senior singer G-Dragon.

Group Zero Base One will release their 5th mini album ‘Blue Paradise’ through various music sites at 6PM on the 24th and begin promotions. Ahead of the album release, they personally introduced their new album at a media showcase held at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Member Kim Ji Woong said about their comeback with ‘Blue Paradise’, “I‘m nervous because it’s our first domestic album of the year,“ and ”I‘m also looking forward to meeting fans around the world and showing them how much we’ve grown.“

When asked about the differences between this 4th mini album ‘Cinema Paradise’ and Park Gun-wook, he said, “If my previous work unfolded a colorful narrative like a movie, this time, I included deeper emotions within it”. He continued by explaining the title song ‘Blue’, saying, “It contains the message that even the sad ‘Blue’ moments are a part of our lives, and that the sight of us trying to move forward despite them is beautiful in itself”.

They also gave witty answers about what it was like to be competing with top K-pop stars like G-Dragon around the same time. Kim Kyu-bin said, “I really respected G-Dragon, so it‘s an honor to be able to be active at the same time. Last year, when I heard that G-Dragon was appearing at the ‘MAMA Awards’, I carried the sneakers he made every day just in case I could get his autograph.” and said, “If he’s watching, I definitely want to get his autograph,” making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Zero Base One‘s fifth mini-album ‘Blue Paradise’ contains a total of six tracks, including the title track ‘Blue’, as well as their first unit tracks since their debut, ‘Out of Love’, ‘Step Back’, ‘Cruel’. Through these tracks, they unraveled the keyword of youth, such as sadness, anxiety, addiction, growing pains, obsession, and deviation, into a single narrative as if playing a mystery game.
