Boy group ZEROBASEONE will debut in July, opening the gates for the 5th generation of K-POP.

ZEROBASEONE (Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin, Park Gun-wook, Han Yu-jin) will officially debut in the music industry on July 10th with the release of their debut album, "YOUTH IN THE SHADE".
Prior to this, at midnight on the 7th, ZEROBASEONE posted the title poster for their debut album "YOUTH IN THE SHADE" on their official social media. The image featured the group's debut date and album title, while also unveiling the group's new logo, signaling that their debut is imminent.

Previously, ZEROBASEONE surprised fans by releasing a spoiler film for their debut album during their performance at "KCON JAPAN 2023" on the 14th of last month. The video featured center members Zhang Hao and Sung Han-bin facing each other with a small candle illuminating the darkness between them. Most notably, the video's subtitle, "Youth in the Shade," was revealed to be the name of ZEROBASEONE's debut album, drawing a huge response from global fans.

True to their team name, which signifies the "glorious beginning" of nine members starting from zero (0) and becoming one (1), ZEROBASEONE plans to continue their brilliant journey by communicating with fans worldwide through various activities for two years and six months following their official debut on July 10th.

Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE is a 5th-generation K-POP boy group formed through Mnet's "Boys Planet" by the choices of star creators from 184 countries and regions. Even before their official debut, they have shown "beyond-rookie" level influence, recording a rapid upward trend in official social media followers and more.

Furthermore, ZEROBASEONE is enjoying high global popularity, having received intense spotlight from influential local media, including Japan's Oricon, just for their appearance at "KCON JAPAN 2023," and being selected as one of the K-POP boy groups to watch this year by the U.S. GRAMMYs.
