Rising K-pop group ZEROBASEONE is closing out the year with remarkable momentum in Japan, earning multiple top placements on major year-end sales charts.
According to Tower Records Japan’s recently released 2025 Bestsellers list, ZEROBASEONE placed four different albums within the Top 10 of the K-pop category, underscoring their rapidly growing influence in the Japanese market.
Four Albums, One Year, Massive Impact
The group’s Japanese debut mini album PREZENT ranked No.2, while their Korean full-length album NEVER SAY NEVER followed at No.4. Their Japanese special EP ICONIK secured No.6, and Korean mini album BLUE PARADISE landed at No.7, a rare achievement that highlights both strong fandom support and sustained sales power.
Tower Records noted that after officially debuting in Japan last year, ZEROBASEONE significantly expanded their local activities throughout 2025, including world tour stops, which helped accelerate their rise across the country.
Proven Strength Across Japanese Charts
Their popularity has also been reflected in other key indicators. On Billboard Japan’s 2025 Year-End Top Album Sales chart, PREZENT ranked No.11, while ICONIK placed No.25, marking a strong showing for multiple releases in the same year.
In addition, both albums earned Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), confirming sustained demand and enthusiastic fan support in the region.
World Tour Momentum Continues
Beyond charts, ZEROBASEONE recently wrapped up their 2025 world tour, drawing a total audience of approximately 150,000 fans across multiple cities. The group is set to continue the tour’s success with encore concerts scheduled for February 18–19 at K-Arena Yokohama and March 13–15 at KSPO DOME in Seoul.
With consistent chart performance, sold-out shows, and expanding global reach, ZEROBASEONE’s year-end results point to a group firmly establishing itself as one of K-pop’s most influential new acts.
