ZEROBASEONE Returns with Striking New Visuals
The countdown is on! K-pop rookie sensation ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) dropped brand new concept photos on June 21 via their official social media, turning heads with their most confident visuals yet for their upcoming first full-length album ‘NEVER SAY NEVER’.
‘9 Members, 9 Styles’—And They’re All Iconic
Each member—Seong Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Matthew Seok, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, Park Gunwook, and Han Yujin—radiated individuality in the ICON version photos. Think sleek microphones, amps, and fierce poses that scream, ‘We’re here to stay.’ The aesthetic? Polished, powerful, and a total energy shift showing ZB1’s growth since debut.
A Teaser Strategy With Layers
Leading up to the comeback, ZB1 has been releasing three unique photo series:
- ORDINARY version: captures the joy of everyday teamwork—your favorite K-drama squad, but make it K-pop.
- DIGIPACK version: fun, scrappy diary-style shots that feel like your bias just DM’d them.
- ICON version: the dramatic, high-concept shots released today that spotlight their most artistic selves.
Fans, appropriately, are losing it. #TEAMZB1 trended within hours, with one fan tweeting, “Is it legal to serve this much visual power in one post?”
