ZEROBASEONE is a nine-member K-pop boy group that debuted under WAKEONE Entertainment on July 10, 2023. The group was formed through the reality survival show Boys Planet, conducted by Mnet, where the contestants in the top nine ranks were brought together to form a temporary group. While the group's contract together only stands for two and a half years, they've already previously broken several records that were firmly held in the industry.

From standing as the group with the highest sales for their debut album to bagging several trophies at the year-end award shows, ZEROBASEONE has established itself as the best-performing fifth-generation K-pop group. Their recent achievement at the Immortal Songs 2 only added to their thriving reputation as the history-making rookie group.

Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend is a long-running South Korean television program where six artists are invited to cover a legendary K-pop song. During the latest episode, ZEROBASEONE, KARDI, Re Velvet's Seulgi & Irene, La Poem, ONF, and Jeong Dong-won were the participating contestants, and all of them were required to cover the same song, TVXQ's The Way You Are.

While all the performances were equally commendable, several people, including the judges, fell in love with the rookie group's energy and dance style, eventually leading them to bag their win at the episode. Fans were thrilled about their win and couldn't help but grandly celebrate the news. Many expressed that it's hard to impress Immortal Songs 2's panel of judges, and several artists make multiple appearances on the program to bag their wins.


ZEROBASEONE took home their trophy during their first appearance and just eight months after their debut. Additionally, since the rookie members won against the several established artists who participated in the episode, fans were all the more impressed. They showered the members much love, support, and praise for the new commendable achievement.
