ZEROSE, we’re one step closer to the highly-anticipated debut of ZEROBASEONE — the K-pop boy group formed through the reality survival series BOYS PLANET!

The nine-member group released on Friday, June 7, the album sampler for its first mini-album YOUTH IN THE SHADE, giving fans a snippet of their upcoming six tracks. 

The album will start with “Back to ZEROBASE” and followed by the title track “IN BLOOM.” Its other songs include “New Kidz on the Block,” “and I,” “Our Season” before wrapping up with “Always.” 

Prior to the release of the album sampler, ZEROBASEONE also dropped a series of individual and group concept photos. One set showed the members in white tops while posing in the middle of a flower field, while another set featured a more edgy vibe, as the members wore darker clothing. 

 

Aside from the album sampler and concept photos, ZEROBASEONE will also be releasing a teaser for the music video on July 9 before the official album and music video release on July 10. The group will also have their debut show on July 10. 

ZEROBASEONE or ZB1 is composed of Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin, Park Gun-wook, and Han Yu-jin. 

They’re a project group that will promote under Wake One Entertainment, a CJ ENM subsidiary, for around two and a half years. 

Boys Planet, which premiered in February and ran for 12 weeks, served as the sequel to the 2021 reality competition Girls Planet 999. Said series formed the girl group KEP1ER.
