With their comeback, they have captivated not only Korea but also the entire country and even theaters. Zero Base One is in ‘all-kill mode all the way.’ Zero Base One, who have risen to the top as a group, are producing a ‘sky rise’ with the release of their new album. In Japan, one of the two meccas of K-pop, they have swept the popularity charts, and as if anticipating this, the cover models of a representative local fashion magazine with a long history have also decorated them in a splendid special edition.

A ‘live movie’ that transfers their status as ‘new performance craftsmen’ to the screen has also been released. Thanks to the enthusiastic support of the Zeros fandom for the movie, they will also have a special stage greeting.

Zero Base One‘s 5th mini album ‘Blue Paradise’ (BLUE PARADISE) simultaneously rose to the top of the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and Weekly Combined Album Ranking, which are considered representative charts in Japan, as of the 10th. The album also ranked 3rd on the Japanese iTunes ‘Top Albums’ chart, 3rd on the Apple Music Comprehensive Album Ranking, and 4th on the Amazon Digital Music Album Popularity Ranking.

In response to this popularity, Zero Base One has decided to release a new Japanese version of the title song ‘Blue’ (BLUE) of their new album. The Japanese version of ‘Blue’ will be released at midnight on the 21st.

They also graced the cover of ‘Nonno’ (non-no), a representative Japanese fashion monthly with a long history. Nonno recently released a special image of the May issue featuring Zero Base One on the cover through their official SNS channel.


Their comeback moves, which are close to the rhythm of a whirlwind, have also spread to theaters with their first live film since their debut. It is ‘Zero Base One The First Tour - Timeless World - in Cinema’, which was released in Korea on the 12th. It is a work that reconstructs the world tour of the same name that captivated the global fandom Zeros last year, focusing on the live performances, as well as backstage sketches and interviews. As an exclusive release by CJ CGV, Korea’s largest multiplex cinema brand, the film is also being planned and produced in various special screening types such as ScreenX, 4DX, and Ultra 4DX, garnering much attention.

In response to the fandom‘s response to the live film, Zero Base One also announced a stage greeting. On the 19th, the stage greeting will be held 9 times in 4 theaters at CGV Yeongdeungpo in Seoul.
