Group ZEROBASEONE (ZEROBASEONE, ZB1) has announced its activity goals.

ZEROBASEONE (Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Park Gun-wook) recently held an interview at a café in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the release of their sixth mini-album 'Ascend-'.

ZEROBASEONE debuted in July 2023 and has established itself as a representative group of the fifth generation. From their debut album, they achieved six consecutive million-seller records, broke through cumulative sales of 9 million copies, and demonstrated their presence in the global K-pop market with rapid growth.

Sung Han-bin said, "We focused more on improving the album's quality rather than just the results. We paid close attention to how we could approach the public in a friendly way." He added, "Since we promised to meet with ZEROZ (the fandom name), we are making every effort to care for our fans' hearts."

Park Gun-wook explained, "Starting with this album, we want to further solidify ZEROBASEONE's color and image."

He continued, "This is quite different from our previous image. While we previously showed a youthful image, this time we aim to present a more stable, calm, and mature tone. We want to gradually build our charm by layering it."

Given the high level of member participation in the album, satisfaction levels were also high. Kim Tae-rae said, "This album contains such diverse colors that there is almost no commonality. We hope fans can feel their own preferences while thinking, 'ZEROBASEONE has worked this hard.'"

They also shared their activity goals. Park Gun-wook stated, "We want to win an award on 'M Countdown.' Han-bin hyung did that too, and it would feel especially meaningful to see our team take first place on a program where I am the MC."

Kim Tae-rae added, "There are many challenge videos these days. We hope various challenges emerge using our songs. We want our music to keep playing in cafés and hope it is listened to not only in Korea but also overseas."

They also expressed their determination regarding the May music scene comeback in Daejeon. On the same day, BIGBANG member Taeyang and NCT's Taeyong will make solo comebacks, and the group ZERO'S will return with a new album.

Sung Han-bin said, "With many artists coming back in May, we see this as an opportunity to promote ourselves even more. We feel a stronger desire to prove ourselves, believing that recognition comes from showing our best."

Kim Ji-woong also said, "It is an honor to have our activity period overlap with such great artists. Watching other stages inspires us and has a positive impact. We are always grateful."
