The K-Pop scene has witnessed a groundbreaking moment as ZEROBASEONE, the dynamic group from “Boys Planet,” has made a remarkable comeback with their second mini-album, “MELTING POINT,” featuring the electrifying lead single “CRUSH.” Launched on November 6, the album has become a commercial triumph, according to Hanteo Chart’s recent figures.
Notably, “MELTING POINT” has eclipsed the 2 million mark in first-week sales, a feat not achieved by ZEROBASEONE’s debut mini-album “YOUTH IN THE SHADE,” which had impressive sales itself in July. With 2,131,352 copies sold from November 6 to 12, ZEROBASEONE is redefining success for new artists in the industry.
Joining the elite circle of Hanteo chart-toppers, ZEROBASEONE is the sixth group to cross the 2 million threshold in the first week and the first to do so within a year of their career. This list includes K-Pop stalwarts BTS, SEVENTEEN, Stray Kids, TXT, and NCT DREAM, positioning ZEROBASEONE among the greats in record time.
The meteoric rise of ZEROBASEONE with “MELTING POINT” indicates a changing tide in K-Pop, where new artists can achieve rapid success and vie with established groups, marking an exciting era of growth and competition in the genre.
