ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) is set to appear on Mnet Plus original series "Hide and Seek 2," which has received overwhelming love from global fans.
In the third episode of Mnet Plus original "Hide and Seek 2," airing at 6 p.m. on the 28th, ZEROBASEONE will engage in a heart-pounding struggle set against the backdrop of a closed research facility filled with mysterious data. Having sparked explosive reactions in Season 1's water park episode with their unique refreshing energy and chemistry, ZEROBASEONE makes an unexpected debut as the third player for Season 2, promising to create another legendary episode and drawing significant attention.
A preview released before the main broadcast captured ZEROBASEONE overwhelmed by the eerie atmosphere, drawing immediate attention. The members expressed surprise at the significantly larger scale and chilling mood of Season 2 compared to Season 1, with comments such as "The atmosphere today is truly terrifying" and "Season 2 has definitely changed."

Most notably, this episode unfolds against the backdrop of a mysterious urban legend about a sleep research center that creates "immortal life forms." Amidst the appearance of "Test Subject No. 13," the sole survivor of an experiment involving special drugs who has become extremely sensitive to sound, storyteller Lee Jung-hyun, revealed as an unidentified researcher, delivers a chilling warning: "You must be very nervous? Your breathing is rough. Test Subject No. 13 will love that." At this moment, Sung Han-bin freezes in place, heightening the tension. All eyes are now on whether ZEROBASEONE can safely escape the closed research facility where they cannot even make a sound while evading "Test Subject No. 13."
Meanwhile, Mnet Plus original "Hide and Seek 2," a global K-POP content platform by CJ ENM, is a horror variety show in which K-POP artists survive for 4,444 seconds while being pursued by an unknown seeker.
The ZEROBASEONE episode will be released on the 28th at 6 p.m. on Mnet Plus and can be conveniently watched via the Mnet Plus application as well as PC and mobile web platforms. It will also be available on Mnet starting at 11 p.m. on the 29th.
