Occasions & Milestones

Hello, this is Kim Jiwoong. Before I became ZEROBASEONE’s Kim Jiwoong, my life was always like this wave ~ like the tide. On the outside, it might have looked pretty and beautiful, but inside I was collapsing, caught in deep pain, unable to swim out of the heavy waves. Every unexpected moment brought pain. And when burdens too heavy for a young me came surging in like giant waves, I didn’t know where to swim, or where I should be… At those times, what lifted my gaze from the deep water to the sky above was the warm sun. To me, who thought the world was filled only with coldness and didn’t know where to go, the sun showed me the way and made me a warmer person. Now, because of you, I know that the more my heart crumbles, the more pain I face, and the rougher the waves strike, the brighter and warmer the sun rises. And so now, I am no longer afraid of anyone, nor of the world. When the sun rises in the morning, you warm me. And when the sun sets in the evening, I will become the one who warms you in its place. I will always, everywhere, be grateful for this bond of ours. And for all the good people who brushed past me in every day, in every moment. Now that I am no longer afraid of the waves, I will face countless moments, grow stronger, and keep widening our beautiful bond. Just as I am, without conditions, I will love even more and be by your side as a strength through the flow of time. I love you. You’ve got this.

hello everyone, i’m zb1’s zhang hao. this is our 8th album, and is also our first full-length album. for us who is stepping into our third year since debut, this is moreso a completely new opportunity. they all say that groups who are able to release a full-length album are very lucky– behind a full-length album lies the thoughtful preparations by the members, the long term efforts of the staffs and the unconditional support of the fans and so forth and so forth– so many people’s efforts and energy coalesce together, to allow the name of ZB1 be well known by more and more people, and to allow everyone to grow together. i was originally a drifting star; thank you for giving (me) life. the star has successfully fallen into your heart, has grown to become an azure colored flower. NEVER SAY NEVER is the promise of nine boys dedicated to all those who have stayed by our sides. we don’t dare to dream of forever, only daring to love and to hate in this present moment. to not dare of desiring perfection, yet each moment spent with clear conscience and no regrets, with the only requirement being to receive a favored love by you, who is reading this text right now. zb1 might only be a part of life, yet is the piece that is the most vivid, and the one that holds the most weight. thank you to my members, thank you to my staff members, thank you to my fans, it’s only because of you all that i am often able to say proudly with my head held high that: i am a really, really great idol. i really love this occupation, and really love everyone too. (with that being said), please take care of me too for the promotions this time.
