Kim Jiwoong released his third solo digital single, "DRIVE," on September 14, 2026. It continues a monthly run of standalone singles that began with "Closer" in July and "Sign" in August, each issued on the fourteenth and each timed to a midday release rather than the usual evening slot. The series has run alongside his activity in ZEROBASEONE rather than pausing it.

Kim Ji-woong (born December 14, 1998) is a South Korean singer and actor and a member of the boy group ZEROBASEONE, which debuted in 2023 under WakeOne Entertainment after forming on the Mnet survival program Boys Planet, where he placed eighth. Before ZEROBASEONE he worked as an actor from 2021, appearing in web dramas including The Sweet Blood and Kissable Lips, and had earlier trained with the pre-debut groups INX and B.I.T. His acting is managed by Nest Management, while his music activities stay with WakeOne. He began releasing solo music in 2026, debuting with the self-written digital single "Closer," an R&B and soul-leaning track, followed by the single "Sign." Alongside these releases he has held solo fan-meeting events while continuing group promotions. His solo material favors mellow R&B and balladry, distinct from ZEROBASEONE's brighter group concept, and he continues to pursue acting in parallel with his music career.
