ZEROBASEONE
ZEROBASEONE has kicked off a run of No. 1s, racking up back-to-back wins on Korean music shows with their new single “ICONIK.”

ZEROBASEONE took first place on the Sept. 10 broadcast of MBC M and MBC every1’s "Show Champion" with “ICONIK,” the title track off their first full-length album, “NEVER SAY NEVER.”

The win follows their No. 1 on SBS funE’s "The Show," making it two-for-two on music programs this week. “Thank you to ZEROSE for another incredible honor,” the group said in a heartfelt speech. “Any No. 1 we achieve is because of you. We’ll keep giving our very best as ZEROBASEONE.”

On stage, the group leaned into racer-inspired looks and delivered an energetic, razor-sharp routine to the nu-disco-tinged “ICONIK.” Precise dynamics and slick formation changes kept eyes locked on the performance, underscoring why the track is living up to its name.

The album is already a blockbuster: in its first week, “NEVER SAY NEVER” sold over 1.51 million copies, marking ZEROBASEONE’s sixth straight million-selling release since debut―an unprecedented feat among K-pop groups. The “ICONIK” music video has also surged past 50 million views, signaling sustained momentum.
