"This Comeback is Youth in Blue"—ZEROBASEONE's Special Shades of Blue 💙✨

Blue. It's a color that shines with brightness yet carries an undertone of melancholy. ZEROBASEONE returns with a dual-layered concept, blending mystery and freshness—a vibe they call "Mysterious Refreshing."

The album tells the story of a love so beautiful, it's almost tragic.

Zhang Hao:"Blue embodies a mix of emotions—excitement, longing, and hope. We hope everyone finds their own interpretation while listening."

ZEROBASEONE held their media showcase on February 24 at Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Seoul, unveiling their fifth mini-album, 'BLUE PARADISE'.

💬 "This is Our First Domestic Album of 2025"

Kim Jiwoong & Han Yujin:"We're super nervous but excited! We've worked hard to show a new side of us. Please look forward to it!"

🎶 A Deep Dive into 'Blue Paradise'

This marks their first comeback in six months and serves as the second part of the 'CINEMA PARADISE' series.

Park Gunwook:"While our previous album focused on a movie-like storyline, this one dives deep into emotions."

📀 The album consists of six tracks, each exploring different emotions—sorrow, anxiety, obsession, and self-discovery.

💙 Title Track: 'Blue'

Produced by hitmaker KENZIE, who previously worked with them on Good So Bad.
Zhang Hao:"Since this is our second time working with her, we created something even better!"
Kim Taerae:"She paid great attention to the details, which made the recording process amazing."

The song utilizes the double meaning of 'Blue'—both sadness and a breathtakingly beautiful love. With refreshing synth sounds and emotional vocals, it creates a mysterious yet invigorating energy unique to ZB1.

Kim Taerae:"We aimed to craft a fresh yet deeply emotional sound. All six tracks have something exciting to offer."

🔹 "We Want to Be Called the 'Blue Youth'"

The members hope this album gives them the nickname "The Blue Youth", capturing their vibrant yet sentimental energy.
On stage, they embraced the music fully, delivering intricate formations and even using handkerchiefs as props to enrich their choreography.

ZEROBASEONE has grown from Zero (0) to One (1), but now they aim for something beyond that.

First-Ever Unit Tracks:'Out of Love' (Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Kim Gyubin) → Bright & energetic with a catchy guitar riff.
'Step Back' (Ricky, Park Gunwook, Han Yujin) → A dance-pop track with bold ad-libs.
'Cruel' (Sung Hanbin, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae) → A rock-based anthem about rebelling against norms.

💬 Park Gunwook:"We carefully picked unit combinations to showcase diverse sides of us."

🏆 "Aiming for 5 Consecutive Million-Seller Albums!"

ZB1 has already hit million-seller status with every single album since debut.

Zhang Hao:"We hope to keep our million-seller streak going!"

Their 2nd anniversary is also approaching, and the members reflected on their journey:

Han Yujin:"It was an honor to experience my transition from my teens to my twenties with our fans."
Sung Hanbin:"We constantly monitor our performances, always thinking about how we can improve."

Recently, they won their first major Daesang ("Record of the Year") at 'The Awards', solidifying their status as 5th-gen icons.

💬 What's the secret to their success?

Sung Hanbin:"We bring genuine joy to the stage, along with an energy that fans connect with. That's what sets us apart."
Park Gunwook:"We won't stop here—we want to be the first group that comes to mind when people think of K-pop worldwide."

However, ZEROBASEONE's contract is set to expire in early 2026. Fans have been wondering about their future.

Sung Hanbin:"We talk about this a lot among ourselves. But for now, our priority is giving our 'ZEROSE' the best albums and performances possible."
Kim Taerae:"Our hearts belong to our fans. We want to stay together with them forever."
