Zerobaseone Continues Billboard Success with Blue Paradise

K-pop sensation Zerobaseone (Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin, Park Gun-wook, Han Yu-jin) continues its meteoric rise, marking their third consecutive week on the Billboard charts with their 5th mini-album, Blue Paradise.

Breaking records as a 5th generation K-pop group, Zerobaseone made a stunning debut on the Billboard 200 at number 28, the highest debut for a 5th-gen group to date. The group’s global impact is now being recognized alongside their domestic success, solidifying their reputation as the ‘next-gen global top-tier’ K-pop artists.

Through Blue Paradise, the group has entered four Billboard categories: #6 Emerging Artists, #7 World Albums, #14 Top Current Album Sales, and #16 Top Album Sales. Notably, they climbed 3 spots and 7 spots on the Top Current Album Sales and Top Album Sales charts respectively, signaling increasing momentum and fan engagement.

Their growing global dominance was demonstrated during their successful second fan-concert ‘Blue Mansion’ held at KSPO DOME in Seoul from April 18–20. Their domination of stages continued at the 2025 SBS Inkigayo Unicorn in Tokyo Dome, where they captivated audiences with powerful performances.

Looking ahead, Zerobaseone is set to perform at KCON Japan 2025 in May. Notably, leader Sung Han-bin will serve as main MC across the three-day event, with Park Gun-wook joining as co-MC on the first day. The group has also confirmed their appearance at KCON LA 2025 in August, expanding their presence in the American K-pop market.

As Zerobaseone sails through the Billboard charts and dominates stages across Asia, the title of ‘5th-Gen Icons’ seems only fitting for this groundbreaking rookie group.
