ZEROBASEONE is back with their 4th mini album, ‘CINEMA PARADISE’, marking another milestone in their rapidly rising career. The group, consisting of members Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Sung Han-bin, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin, Park Gun-wook, and Han Yu-jin, dropped their latest release on various music platforms at 6 PM on the August 26, three months since their last release, You Had Me at HELLO.
The title track, GOOD SO BAD, is a fun and energetic electronic synth-pop song that really shows off ZEROBASEONE’s vibrant style. It was crafted by KENZIE, a well-known hitmaker in the industry. The song talks about the ups and downs of loving someone, even when life isn’t easy. Its catchy tune, combined with the group’s lively vocals and raps, gives it a romantic comedy vibe.
The music video for GOOD SO BAD has a special guest appearance by actor Yoo Ji-tae. In the video, he plays a screenwriter working on a sad ending. But instead of sticking to the script, ZEROBASEONE, as the main characters, decide to change their fate and avoid the breakup. The video’s beautiful visuals and engaging story have grabbed a lot of attention, with teasers becoming super popular on YouTube.
CINEMA PARADISE includes seven tracks that reflect how much the group has grown. KILL THE ROMEO offers a new, happier take on the classic Romeo story. SEA is a remake of a summer hit by UP, with ZEROBASEONE adding their own refreshing twist. Insomnia is part of a sleep-themed series that started in their second mini-album, diving deeper into the feeling of restlessness. Road Movie is a special track that all nine members worked on together, sharing their experiences and hopes. The album also features ETERNITY, a song dedicated to their fans, and a Korean version of their Japanese hit YURA YURA, bringing a new flavor to a fan-favorite track.
The nine members of ZEROBASEONE – Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Sung Han-bin, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin, Park Gun-wook, and Han Yu-jin – brings something unique to the album. Filled with ZEROBASEONE’s trademark positivity, CINEMA PARADISE is all about staying positive and believing in a happy ending, even when things get tough. This album shows how ZEROBASEONE has matured, dealing with themes like fate, forever, and love in a sincere way.
ZEROBASEONE has already reached million-seller status with their last three albums on the day they were released. With CINEMA PARADISE, they are expected to keep breaking records and make their mark in K-pop history. Fans and industry watchers are eagerly waiting to see what new heights the group will reach with this release.
