Group ZEROBASEONE captivated fans with overwhelming charisma.
ZEROBASEONE (Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Park Gun-wook) sequentially released the 'Cover Story' version concept photos and films for their sixth mini-album 'Ascend-' through official SNS channels on April 30 and May 1.

In group and unit concept photos, ZEROBASEONE created a classic yet modern mood with styling that mixed suits and leather. The minimalist direction without any superfluous elements, combined with ZEROBASEONE's refined sophistication, promises high-quality album production.
In individual concept photos and films, delicate expressions highlighting each member's unique personality were added, exuding an elegant aura. ZEROBASEONE completed dazzling visuals by emitting cool charisma with deep, meaningful gazes.


Previously, ZEROBASEONE raised curiosity about the new album by teasing three concepts: 'Cover Story', 'Scenario', and 'A-Senses'. Among them, the first concept 'Cover Story' has been unveiled, drawing focused attention with a deeper and more mature atmosphere.
'Ascend-' is an album focused on ZEROBASEONE's essence, condensing their musical journey to capture a more distinct identity. As a group recognized as a '5th generation top-tier' group boasting overwhelming influence, ZEROBASEONE is expected to shake up the K-POP landscape once again by announcing a continuous leap forward with this album.
Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE's mini 6th album 'Ascend-' will be released on May 18 at 6 p.m. through various online music platforms.
