During their run they delivered a series of high-selling releases and built a large fanbase across Asia. The group name reflects a journey from zero to one, symbolizing trainees completing their path together as a debuted act. ZEROBASEONE rank among the most commercially successful groups to emerge from K-pop's survival-show pipeline.
