ZEROBASEONE (Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin, Park Gun-wook, Han Yu-jin) continues to solidify its 'Global Top-Tier' status with an impressive performance in Japan.

Their special EP 'ICONIK' has achieved significant success, ranking second on the Oricon Weekly Album and Weekly Combined Album rankings for the week of November 10th (tracking period October 27th - November 2nd), proving their immense popularity in the country.

The EP also maintained a strong presence on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking, securing a spot in the top 10 for seven consecutive days, further cementing ZEROBASEONE's influence in Japan.

Their musical impact extends to other charts as well. 'ICONIK' secured the number one position on the Tower Records All Store General Album Chart (tracking period October 27th - November 2nd) and ranked second on Billboard Japan's Top Album Sales chart (as of November 5th), marking a successful comeback in the Japanese market.

Adding to their achievements, the pre-released track 'Doctor! Doctor!' from their 5th mini-album 'BLUE PARADISE', originally revealed in January, topped the Oricon Weekly Streaming Songs chart (as of November 3rd). This surprise resurgence, with an overwhelming 109.3% increase in streams, has astounded fans and industry watchers alike.

ZEROBASEONE's Japanese campaign for 'ICONIK' has been comprehensive, including appearances on prominent music shows like TV Asahi's 'Music Station' and TBS's 'CDTV Live! Live!', a special collaboration with JR Central, and their ongoing world tour.

The group is currently continuing their successful '2025 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR 'HERE&NOW'', which has seen sold-out shows in Seoul, Bangkok, and Saitama. Through their dynamic performances, ZEROBASEONE is once again proving their undeniable global appeal by capturing iconic moments from the past and present on the world stage.

Fans in Korea are showing enthusiastic reactions, commenting, 'As expected from ZB1!', 'ZB1's class is recognized in Japan too,' and 'They've conquered Japan with ICONIK!'
