EP HYPE
MAY 2026
ZEROBASEONE × AND2BLE
May has plans for us, ZEROSE. Within eight days of each other, ZEROBASEONE returns as a five with their 6th mini album, and the four members heading to YH debut as AND2BLE with their first ever release. One fandom heart, two release dates, and SOOJIB has both of them ready for you.
18 May 2026
ZEROBASEONE — [Ascend-]
26 May 2026
AND2BLE — Sequence 01: Curiosity
If you've been a ZEROSE since City of Stars, the past few months have honestly been a lot. The four to YH, the five to WAKEONE, a goodbye that none of us were ready for. But here's the thing about K-pop fandom: love does not get cut in half just because a contract did. Both sides are still ours, and right now both sides are about to drop the kind of comeback you cannot sleep on.
Two release dates, eight days apart, one fandom that refuses to choose. May is a SOOJIB calendar event.

ZEROBASEONE
[Ascend-] · The 6th Mini Album
The five remaining members, Han Bin, Ji Woong, Matthew, Tae Rae and Gun Wook, are stepping into the next era together as ZEROBASEONE. The album title says it all. Ascend, with that little dash like a runway taking off. The teaser for this one frames the comeback as a defining transition point, not a soft restart but a full identity move into who they are now as a five. Visuals, sound, performance, all of it sharper.
For ZEROSE who have been here since the start, this is the era to actually go in. The lineup runs from a clean Photobook ver. through the 11 Ver. sets all the way up to a proper LP edition for the collectors, and POBs are spread across four major platforms so you can stack the photocard you actually want.
POBs available at SOOJIB
Apple Music ver.

26 MAY · YH ENTERTAINMENT
AND2BLE
Sequence 01: Curiosity · 1st Mini Album
And then, eight days later, comes the other half of the heart. Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyu Vin and Han Yu Jin are debuting as AND2BLE with their first ever mini album, and the title tells you exactly what energy they are bringing. Sequence 01: Curiosity. A first chapter, deliberately marked as one. The numbering says they are here for the long run, and the keyword says they want you to lean in.
The packaging concepts split into three Standard versions, Unnatural, Gazed and Break, plus a Limited Curious ver. that feels like the anchor piece, and a POCAALBUM for the everyday carry. As a debut album, this is the moment we get to set the tone for AND2BLE's collecting culture from day one. ZEROSE knows.
POBs available at SOOJIB
Weverse Shop ver. (Standard)
Makestar ver. (POCAALBUM)
Pre-order line-up
One fandom, two front rows
This is honestly the era. Five members ascending, four members opening their first chapter, all of them ours, all of them at SOOJIB. Whether you are stocking up for both, picking your bias version per group, or hunting that one POB photocard your wallet has been waiting for, May is the month to get every detail sorted before the chaos kicks in.
Pre-orders are open right now for both. We are collecting and connecting with everything K-pop, and we will be cheering both sides loud, all month long.
