The group ZEROBASEONE is gaining great popularity in Japan. On the 29th, ZEROBASEONE released their special EP "ICONIK" in Japan. The title track "ICONIK (Japanese ver.)" ranked 2nd on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking immediately after its release. This indicates high interest in ZEROBASEONE within Japan.

"ICONIK (Japanese ver.)" also ranked 1st on the Japanese iTunes K-pop Top Songs chart and secured 10th place on the Line Music Real-time Top 100 Songs chart. This serves as an indicator of ZEROBASEONE's full-scale success. To commemorate the release of the special EP, ZEROBASEONE appeared on major Japanese music programs such as TV Asahi's "Music Station" and TBS's "CDTV Live! Live!".

Additionally, they are conducting comprehensive promotions through a special collaboration with JR Tokai (JR東海) and their world tour. ZEROBASEONE's popularity in Japan was already anticipated. In March of last year, ZEROBASEONE achieved "half-million seller" status within a week of debuting locally with their first Japanese single "Yurayura -Unmei no Hana- (ゆらゆら -運命の花-)". This set the highest sales record for a debut album by a foreign artist in history.

Afterward, ZEROBASEONE's first EP "PREZENT" topped both the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and the Weekly Combined Album Ranking. They also ranked 4th in Billboard Japan's 2025 First Half Year-End "Top Album Sales". These achievements prove ZEROBASEONE's syndrome-level popularity.

ZEROBASEONE also won the "Best New Artist" award in the Asia category at the 39th Japan Gold Disc Awards. Reaffirming their presence as a global top-tier group with "ICONIK," ZEROBASEONE will hold their world tour at Saitama Super Arena in Japan on the 29th and 30th. The Japanese concerts, held amid enthusiastic fan support, even opened additional restricted-view seats, proving ZEROBASEONE's powerful ticket-selling ability.

Building on their success in Japan, ZEROBASEONE plans to expand their activities throughout Asia. They will continue their popularity in Japan while broadening their fan base through various musical experiments. Attention should be paid to ZEROBASEONE's continuous growth and transformation.
