K-pop fifth-generation giants ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) are back with their fourth mini-album, CINEMA PARADISE. After breaking the K-pop record for most pre-orders with their debut and selling over a million albums for each installment of their previous three albums, the group has returned with their new mini-album in just three months after their third mini-album “You Had Me at HELLO.”. All of the tracks included on CINEMA PARADISE are inspired by different movie genres, and with this release, ZEROBASEONE aims to ‘eternally capture’ the moments that they have enjoyed alongside their loyal fanbase, ZEROSE. Musically, CINEMA PARADISE taps into various genres ranging from electronic synth-pop, Afropop, pluggnB, and hip-hop. The group continues exploring themes of destiny and the different sides of love, both recurring motifs since their debut album, YOUTH IN THE SHADEbut take on a more mature edge to reflect the group’s gained experience since their first steps together as a team.


“We are thrilled to come back with our fourth mini-album after marking our first debut anniversary. It makes us feel new and motivates us to keep working hard to show the better version of ZEROBASEONE and our growth as well,” said SUNG HAN BIN


“With this album, we will show and perform something we haven’t done before, but more than anything else, our songs and performances will make you feel good, so please stay tuned.” 


The tracklist consists of seven tracks, including the title track, “GOOD SO BAD,” along with “KILL THE ROMEO,” “바다 (The Sea)” (a remake of the popular summer song first released in 1997 by Korean group UP), “Insomnia,” “Road Movie,” “Eternity,” and “YURA YURA (Korean Ver.),” a Korean version of their highly successful Japanese debut.  The production of the title track “GOOD SO BAD” was helmed by renowned K-pop producer KENZIE, who is well-known for writing hits for groups such as Girl’s Generation, EXO, and NCT. The electronic synth-pop song features earnest lyrics depicting the bittersweet feeling of being so in love it hurts.
