ZEROBASEONE Earns Big Wins Ahead of Debut Anniversary
K-pop sensation ZEROBASEONE took home two major awards at the 34th Seoul Music Awards held on June 21 at Inspire Arena in Incheon. The group, consisting of Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, Park Gunwook, and Han Yujin, won the Main Award and the Best Album Award.
As they near their 2nd debut anniversary, ZEROBASEONE expressed excitement, saying, “It’s an honor to receive such meaningful awards. Thanks to our fandom, ZEROSE, we were able to achieve this. It gives even more meaning to the first half of the year.”
From Devilish Charms to Summery Vibes
During the show, the group lit up the stage with a dramatic performance of “Devil Game” from their 5th mini-album BLUE PARADISE. With a concept described as a “mystery thriller hide-and-seek with the devil,” the performance showcased their dynamic charisma and drew roaring cheers from the crowd.
They followed up with a re-arranged version of “BLUE”, revealing a fresh take on the track. Taking to the extended stage, the group mesmerized fans with their signature “mystery freshness” concept and a scarf choreography that added flair and emotion to their set.
Making K-pop History, One Album at a Time
ZEROBASEONE’s rise in the K-pop world hasn’t gone unnoticed. With BLUE PARADISE, released in February, they earned their fifth consecutive million-seller title—becoming the first K-pop group in history to achieve this feat with their first five albums.
On top of that, the album debuted at No. 28 on the Billboard 200, the main chart for albums in the U.S., marking the highest entry for a fifth-generation K-pop group. The group has also maintained a position across multiple Billboard subcharts for 10 consecutive weeks, proving their status as true global top-tier idols.
ZEROBASEONE’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. With a proven track record, an ever-expanding fanbase, and global recognition, the group continues to redefine success in the K-pop industry.
Looking Ahead
ZEROBASEONE has pledged to return with even more high-quality albums worthy of their “Best Album” title. As they put it, “We will keep working hard for ZEROSE.” It seems the journey has only just begun for this record-breaking group.
