ZEROBASEONE captivates fans with their iconic charm. ZEROBASEONE released their Japanese special EP 'ICONIK' and the title track 'ICONIK (Japanese ver.)' at midnight today (24th) through various music distribution sites. 'ICONIK (Japanese ver.)' is a song that represents their journey as artists. With a powerful message of 'Regardless of others' evaluations, we can become iconic ourselves,' it embodies the determination of the nine members to shine even brighter. It expresses their confidence in wanting to become an iconic brand, not just an icon representing the 5th generation. The special performance music video released alongside the audio features the members delivering intense yet powerful performances in various spaces within a building. The building's structure adds impact and enhances the immersion in the performance. This album includes three songs sung entirely in Japanese, including the title track 'ICONIK', 'SLAM DUNK', and the title track 'BLUE' from their previous 5th mini-album 'BLUE PARADISE'. Given ZEROBASEONE's overwhelming presence in Japan, there is continued strong interest in this comeback. They achieved 'half a million sales' just one week after their Japanese debut with their first single 'Yurayura -Unmei no Hana-' last March, setting the highest record for a debut album by a foreign artist at that time. Additionally, their 1st EP 'PREZENT', released in January this year, topped both the Oricon weekly album ranking and the overall weekly album ranking, and ranked 4th in Billboard Japan's top album sales for the first half of 2025. With their syndrome-level popularity in Japan, ZEROBASEONE was also selected as the winner of the 'Best New Artist' Asia category at the 39th Japan Gold Disc Awards. Furthermore, their 1st full album 'NEVER SAY NEVER', released in Korea, ranked 2nd in both the Oricon weekly album ranking and overall weekly album ranking even before the physical album was released in Japan, showcasing their high popularity as a 'global top tier'. Attention is focused on the achievements included in the Japanese special EP 'ICONIK'. The physical album of ZEROBASEONE's Japanese special EP 'ICONIK' will be released at midnight on the 29th of this month. Prior to this, the audio of the title track 'ICONIK (Japanese ver.)' and the special performance music video were simultaneously released at midnight today.
