ZEROBASEONE Dominates Japan with Special EP 'ICONIK', Topping Charts

K-Pop sensation ZEROBASEONE is once again captivating the Japanese music scene.

The group released their special EP 'ICONIK' in Japan on October 29th, and the title track 'ICONIC (Japanese ver.)' immediately soared to number 2 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking on October 28th, underscoring the immense local interest in the group.

Further solidifying their success, 'ICONIC (Japanese ver.)' also secured the number 1 spot on the Japan iTunes K-Pop Top Songs chart and landed in the top 10 of the LINE MUSIC Real-Time Song Top 100, signaling a significant hit.

To commemorate the release, ZEROBASEONE has been actively promoting across Japan, appearing on prominent music shows like TV Asahi's 'Music Station' and TBS's 'CDTV Live! Live!', collaborating with JR Central, and embarking on their world tour.

This success in Japan was anticipated, following their debut single 'YURA YURA - Unmei no Hana -' in March of last year, which achieved 'Half Million Seller' status within a week of release, setting a record for the highest-selling debut album by an overseas artist. Their first EP 'PREZENT' also topped both the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and the Weekly Combined Album Ranking, and ranked 4th in Billboard Japan's first half of 2025 'Top Album Sales.' Their syndrome-like popularity earned them the 'Best New Artist' award in the Asia category at the '39th Japan Gold Disc Awards.'

With 'ICONIK,' ZEROBASEONE has once again cemented their status as 'global top-tier' artists. They are set to perform at Saitama Super Arena in Japan on October 29th and 30th as part of their world tour. The overwhelming fan demand has led to the addition of seats with restricted views, further proving ZEROBASEONE's powerful ticket-selling capabilities.

Korean fans are expressing immense pride and excitement over ZEROBASEONE's chart success in Japan, commenting things like, 'As expected from ZEROBASEONE!', 'K-pop's power in Japan is amazing,' and 'I'll be cheering for this comeback!' The news of them topping charts has been met with a flood of congratulatory messages.
