K-pop group ZEROBASEONE has once again proven their 'global top-tier' status by charting on multiple Billboard charts for the second consecutive week. The latest charts, released on September 23rd (local time) by Billboard, reveal that the nine-member group's first full album, 'NEVER SAY NEVER,' secured spots on six different charts.

This achievement follows their record-breaking debut on the Billboard 200 last week, where they reached their highest rank to date at 23rd, marking the highest position for a 5th-generation K-pop group. ZEROBASEONE is actively making K-pop history in the significant US music market, underscoring their expanding global influence.

Fueling this momentum, 'NEVER SAY NEVER' has landed on the Emerging Artists chart at number 4, World Albums at number 4, Top Current Album Sales at 11, Top Album Sales at 12, Independent Albums at 37, and the Artist 100 at 79. This marks their second consecutive week appearing on a total of six Billboard charts.

The album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' delivers a powerful message of hope, assuring listeners that 'there is no such thing as impossible' for those who dream of something extraordinary within ordinary reality. ZEROBASEONE has been demonstrating their all-around global prowess by setting new records on major domestic and international charts since their comeback. Already established as a '6-time Million Seller' group, they achieved a grand slam by winning 6 music show trophies with their title track 'ICONIK,' continuing to write their own iconic growth narrative.

Looking ahead, ZEROBASEONE is set to hold their world tour '2025 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR 'HERE&NOW'' from October 3rd to 5th at the KSPO DOME in Seoul. The Seoul dates of 'HERE&NOW' saw all three shows sell out during the fan club pre-sale alone, and due to overwhelming fan demand, additional seats with restricted views were also opened.

ZEROBASEONE, formed through the Mnet survival show 'Boys Planet,' debuted on July 10, 2023. The group quickly established a strong presence in the K-pop scene, securing numerous rookie awards. As the leader, Sung Han-bin guides the group, while Zhang Hao contributes significantly as a main vocalist and dancer, enhancing the team's musical artistry.
