The group ZEROBASEONE has mentioned the situation after their contract expires.

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].

Because they are a project group, their contract period is set. Sung Han-bin said, “The team activity contract is for 2 and a half years, but the members have been talking a lot about what happens after that. We are talking about ways to help the fans,” and Kim Tae-rae gave a hopeful answer, saying, “I am happy with ZEROBASEONE activities. I want to be with Zeroz (fans) forever,” raising expectations for their future activities.

If ZEROBASEONE presented a colorful narrative like a movie through their previous work [Cinema Paradise], they will deal with 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’ is the second collaboration between Zero Base One and hit maker KENZIE. The song, which utilizes the ambivalent meaning of the word ‘Blue’, sings about a ‘sad but beautiful fateful love’, presenting a mysterious sense of refreshment.

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).
