ZEROBASEONE Goes ‘ICONIK’ With Bold First Full Album
From rookie charm to K-pop royalty — ZEROBASEONE is officially in their ICONIK era. On July 1, the nine-member boy group dropped their highly anticipated first full-length album, NEVER SAY NEVER, launching a new chapter in their skyrocketing careers.
A Comeback Six Months in the Making
It’s been half a year since the group’s last drop, the mini album BLUE PARADICE. Now, Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, Park Gunwook, and Han Yujin are back — older, edgier, and ready to unleash their full potential.
Fittingly, the group’s first studio album encapsulates their whirlwind two-year journey, from survival show victors to global K-pop phenoms. And just in case the title NEVER SAY NEVER didn’t scream determination enough — consider this their sonic mission statement: No dream is too big, and no stage is too bold.
‘ICONIK’: A Title Track That Lives Up to Its Name
The album’s title track, ‘ICONIK’, does what it says on the tin — announces ZB1 as icons in the making. Powered by a sleek nu-disco pop beat and hypnotic rhythm, the song oozes charisma and stage presence. Translation? You won’t be able to look away.
“It’s a track that captures ZEROBASEONE’s signature intensity and energy,” fans said during the premiere. And judging by their show-stopping performance at the media showcase in Seoul’s Blue Square SOL Travel Hall, it’s safe to say they’ve nailed their mark.
10 Tracks That Define a Generation
NEVER SAY NEVER features 10 diverse tracks that swing between emotional depth and dancefloor heat. Each song offers a peek into the members’ personal reflections and collective vision — from boyish dreams to bold declarations of self-worth.
- “ICONIK”: The disco-fueled banger leading the charge
- Tracks that blend R&B, EDM, and storytelling across genres
- Lyrics infused with themes of ambition, resilience, and identity
It’s not just a comeback — it’s a statement album. A flex peppered with melodies you’ll want on loop.
From Underdogs to Billboard Breakers
This isn’t your average rookie story. Since debuting, ZEROBASEONE has been smashing records with five consecutive million-selling albums and charting on the Billboard 200. Not bad for a group that started with a reality show fan vote.
Now with NEVER SAY NEVER, the group looks to top themselves once more. In their words — and album title — nothing is impossible.
ZEROBASEONE: Living Proof That Dreams Work Harder Than Doubt
For ZEROsEs — the official fandom — this full album feels like a victory lap and a launchpad. It’s emotional. It’s ambitious. And it’s full of energetic flair that turns every stage into a spectacle.
Released across all major streaming platforms on July 1 at 6PM KST, NEVER SAY NEVER isn’t just an album. It’s a declaration: The boys are back, and they’re not here to play it safe.
