ZEROBASEONE members Seok Matthew and Park Gun-wook have formed a unit called 'EMP' and will release their first mixtape.
On the 18th at midnight, Seok Matthew and Park Gun-wook officially announced the formation of the unit by unveiling the ZEROBASEONE EMP logo through the group's official SNS channels.
The video released that day features the ZEROBASEONE EMP logo, which stands out with its rough yet sensory texture, immediately capturing attention. Having established a distinct identity solely through their logo, global K-pop fans are already growing increasingly excited about what kind of music they will present.
ZEROBASEONE EMP, serving as the group's first unit, derived its name from Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). The name embodies their ambition to create a space where only the two of them exist, much like how all surrounding sounds are blocked the moment an EMP strikes.
The acronym 'EMP' also incorporates the meaning of 'Extra MTT(Matthew) PGW(Park Gun Wook).' 'EXTRA' carries the meaning of 'beyond the ordinary,' aligning with the musical world of EMP that they produce themselves. This adds to the curiosity about what color of music their synergy will create.
ZEROBASEONE EMP is expected to release their first mixtape at 6 p.m. on the 21st, marking the start of their full-fledged musical journey.
