Bio:
Formed in Seoul through Mnet’s reality show Boys Planet, ZEROBASEONE—aka ZB1—exploded onto the K-pop scene on July 10, 2023, with their debut EP Youth in the Shade. This nine-member powerhouse, managed by WakeOne, blends K-pop’s catchy hooks with hip-hop and R&B flair, representing a “glorious beginning” from zero to one. Their lead single “In Bloom” hit the Billboard Global 200, and the EP sold over 2 million copies, setting a record for a K-pop debut album. With members hailing from South Korea, China, and Canada, ZB1’s multinational vibe resonates globally, earning them a “Rookie Grand Slam” by sweeping 10 Rookie of the Year awards at shows like MAMA and Golden Disc Awards. Their Japanese debut single “Yura Yura” (2024) topped Oricon charts, selling over 300,000 copies. From their first fan concert at Gocheok Sky Dome to a 2024 world tour, ZB1’s electric performances and heartfelt lyrics connect deeply with their fandom, ZEROSE. With 2.1 million Instagram followers and streams soaring on Spotify, they’re leading K-pop’s 5th generation with unstoppable energy.
