ZEROBASEONE Extends Billboard 200 Streak with ‘BLUE PARADISE’

K-pop sensation ZEROBASEONE is making waves in the U.S. music scene with their fifth mini-album BLUE PARADISE. According to the latest Billboard chart released on May 6 (local time), the group has maintained their presence across multiple charts for four consecutive weeks.

The group ranked 10th on the World Albums chart, 12th on the Emerging Artists chart, 22nd on the Top Current Album Sales chart, and 25th on the Top Album Sales chart, retaining positions without any dedicated U.S. promotions—a sign of their organic global resonance.

ZEROBASEONE initially made headlines after debuting at No.28 on the prestigious Billboard 200, the highest chart entry ever achieved by a fifth-generation K-pop group. This moment solidified their emergence not only in South Korea but globally, marking a new chapter in K-pop history.

Released in February, BLUE PARADISE encapsulates the idea that even the ‘blue’ moments are a beautiful part of life. Tackling themes such as sorrow, anxiety, obsession, and growing pains, the group presents the album as a narrative-driven mystery journey, resonating with fans dealing with real-life emotional complexities.

Outside of chart success, ZEROBASEONE is also expanding their influence through appearances on various music shows and variety shows, strengthening their appeal to a broader audience. They are also set to perform at KCON JAPAN 2025, held May 9–11 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. Member Sung Han-bin will MC the event for three days, while Park Gun-wook will join on the first day.

With their continued chart performance and global itinerary, ZEROBASEONE proves they are more than just rookie idols—they’re the future of K-pop.
