ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) has stirred excitement with the release of game-themed track posters for their highly anticipated fifth mini-album BLUE PARADISE. On February 10, the group (Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyubin, Park Gunwook, and Han Yujin) unveiled three track posters through their official social media accounts.
Under the quest-like theme of “Find the real BLUE PARADISE,” each poster visually represents the members’ journey to discover paradise, unfolding like stages in a video game. The title track “BLUE” explores the dual meanings of the color—evoking both beauty and melancholy—set against a blue-lit fountain that radiates a mix of serenity and solitude. Notably, ZEROBASEONE has once again collaborated with renowned K-pop hitmaker Kenzie, following their previous title track “GOOD SO BAD”. This reunion raises anticipation for how ‘BLUE’ will further define ZB1’s artistic identity.
The track poster for “Devil Game”, another B-side, creates a thrilling and mystery-thriller atmosphere, reminiscent of a game of hide-and-seek with the devil. The song is expected to reinterpret early 2000s dance-pop through ZEROBASEONE’s unique style. Meanwhile, the pre-release track “Doctor! Doctor!”—which emphasizes the healing power of love—has already achieved No.1 on Korean streaming charts, dominated China’s QQ Music, and trended on YouTube’s rising music charts. It has also ranked on Spotify’s ‘Viral 50’, proving its global popularity.
Set to drop on February 24 at 6 PM (KST), BLUE PARADISE conveys the message that even “BLUE” (melancholy) moments are part of life, and the resilience to overcome them is beautiful in itself. With four consecutive million-seller albums, ZEROBASEONE continues to make unparalleled K-pop history. Fans eagerly await whether this release will once again break the group’s own records.
