“ICONIK” is the title track from ZEROBASEONE’s first full-length album, published to the group’s own YouTube channel on 1 September 2025. The group debuted in 2023 with nine members after winning the survival programme Boys Planet.

The contract that ends on a fixed date

ZEROBASEONE was assembled through a televised competition, and groups formed that way are usually signed for a set term rather than indefinitely — commonly two and a half years from debut. The members come from different agencies and are lent to a joint venture for the duration, then return home. That deadline shapes everything: the release schedule is dense, the album count climbs quickly, and a first full-length album arriving in year three is a late-stage move, not an early one. Fans track the end date openly, and extensions are negotiated in public.

About this release

“ICONIK” comes from ZEROBASEONE THE 1ST FULL ALBUM, titled “NEVER SAY NEVER” — the group’s first full-length record after a run of shorter releases. The video was published on 1 September 2025 on the ZEROBASEONE channel. The official description carries listen-and-download links and the hashtags used for the campaign; no featured artist or outside producer is credited there.

Watching from outside Korea

The group’s fandom is called ZEROSE, and that word is worth knowing: it filters fan subtitles, translation accounts and tour announcements far more reliably than the group name alone, which returns mostly official uploads.
