It's a rookie level... Zero Base One, the first K-pop group to become a 'million seller on the first day of their debut'

As a result, ZeroBase One became the first K-pop group to become a 'Million Seller' on the first day of release with their debut album.

Not only in albums, but also in domestic and overseas music charts, the performance of 'departing from rookie level' continues.

In addition, keywords celebrating the debut of ZeroBase One rose to the top of real-time trends on Twitter around the world.

'YOUTH IN THE SHADE' is an album that depicts the youth of this era, the beauty of brilliant youth and the instability behind it. The nine members with dazzling visuals vigorously opened the door to the 5th generation of K-pop with trendy music that tells their own stories and energetic performances with a refreshing feel.

ZeroBase One unveiled the new song stage through 'ZEROBASEONE DEBUT SHOW: In Bloom', which aired on Mnet on the 10th.
