ZEROBASEONE's Zhang Hao and Sung Han-bin to Appear on 'BOYS II PLANET'

Zhang Hao and Sung Han-bin, members of the group Zerobaseone, are set to make a surprise appearance on Mnet's 'BOYS II PLANET'.

According to TenAsia's exclusive report on the 5th, Zhang Hao and Sung Han-bin will bring new energy to the show, which is scheduled to premiere next month. The duo, who debuted after securing the top two spots in the 2023 'Boys Planet' Season 1, are returning to the survival program scene after nearly two years, much to the delight of fans.

'Boys Planet' first aired in February 2023 and concluded on April 20 of the same year. With Season 2 returning after two years, it has garnered significant attention. The participation of Zhang Hao and Sung Han-bin is expected to heighten the excitement for the new season. 'BOYS II PLANET' is set to premiere on July 17.

Born in 2001, Sung Han-bin consistently held the top spot throughout Season 1, only to be surpassed by Zhang Hao in the final episode, debuting in second place. He joined the final lineup with the highest rank among K-group participants and, while not the oldest, has taken on the role of leader, guiding the team with stability.

Sung Han-bin has recently been praised for his stable hosting skills and vocal delivery as the main MC of 'World of Street Woman Fighter (WSWF)'. Since September 2023, he has been a regular MC on 'M Countdown' and was recently chosen as the main host for 'KCON JAPAN 2025', earning him the nickname 'Mnet's Son'.

Born in 2000, Zhang Hao made history as the first foreigner to win first place in a Korean idol survival show, showcasing his strong presence. As the center of the group, he is recognized as a well-rounded performer with impressive visuals, vocal skills, and performance abilities. Before debuting, he made headlines for being the top student in Fujian Province, with a population of about 40 million, and entering Fujian Normal University's music education department.

A broadcasting insider commented, "Zhang Hao and Sung Han-bin are all-rounders with different strengths, creating a stronger synergy when together." They added, "Their chemistry has been well-received in various entertainment shows like 'Salon Drip 2' and 'Omniscient Interfering View'. They rank as the top two in team popularity, boasting a rare combination of talent and entertainment skills."

Having started from a survival program, they have quickly established themselves as a leading K-pop group, achieving five consecutive million-seller records. Fans eagerly anticipate how they will interact with trainees and what impact they will have on 'BOYS II PLANET'.
