ZEROBASEONE Unveils Debut Studio Album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' Capturing Two Years of Growth

ZEROBASEONE is set to release their debut studio album, encapsulating two years of growth and evolution. The group's agency, WAKEONE, has been in discussions with the members' respective agencies about extending the project group's activities, highlighting the potential and growth prospects of ZEROBASEONE.

The group, consisting of members Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, Park Gun-wook, and Han Yu-jin, will release their first full-length album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' today at 6 PM on various music platforms.

This comeback marks approximately six months since their previous release, the mini-album 'BLUE PARADICE'. Here are three reasons why 'NEVER SAY NEVER' is highly anticipated.

'NEVER SAY NEVER' is ZEROBASEONE's first full-length album, capturing the most radiant moments of their musical journey with their fandom, ZEROSE. The album condenses the narrative of their 'Youth Trilogy' and 'Paradise Duology', culminating in the iconic 'TEAM ZB1' synergy.

ZEROBASEONE delivers a powerful message of perseverance with 'NEVER SAY NEVER', encouraging those who dream of something special in ordinary life to never give up.

The album features 10 diverse tracks, including the title track 'ICONIK'. Top composer KENZIE and a team of renowned producers have contributed to maximizing the album's quality.

Each track reflects ZEROBASEONE's ongoing growth. Highlights include 'SLAM DUNK', a thrilling track akin to an unscripted drama on a basketball court, 'Lovesick Game', depicting an unstoppable love game, 'Goosebumps', capturing the intoxicating emotions of love, and 'Dumb', conveying a carefree message to let go of worries and enjoy life.

The album also includes a Korean version of 'NOW OR NEVER', originally the title track of their first Japanese EP 'PREZENT', and unit tracks like 'EXTRA', showcasing ZEROBASEONE's addictive style, and 'Long Way Back', expressing the distance of a drifting heart with delicate vocals. 'Star Eyes' encapsulates the group's inspiring narrative, while 'I Know U Know' is a heartfelt fan song dedicated to ZEROSE.

The title track 'ICONIK' is a pop track based on a new disco sound, showcasing ZEROBASEONE's intense presence. The sophisticated groove and tight rhythm blend seamlessly, with the nine members' vocal chemistry building to a climax.

'ICONIK' represents ZEROBASEONE's journey as artists, conveying the message that they can become iconic regardless of others' evaluations. It reflects the group's ambition to shine brighter and their confidence in establishing ZEROBASEONE as an iconic brand, beyond just being a representative icon of the 5th generation.
