Hey beautiful people!

Dropping a new group today ... a little ZEROBASEONE. In true K-Pop Crash Course fashion, I did zero research on the group before starting this filming sesh so we're just flying by the seat of our pants. You know how we do!

Anyways, a great little dip into the newest generation of k-pop bands / competition show groups. Part of me feels like we're missing out on the whole process of showing up each week as contestants battle their way into our hearts. Waiting to see who makes it to the final cut.

I haven't really been part of that on the k-pop side yet. I just find it interesting that this is a way we find talent and grow and fanbase pre-debut. But hey, it's worked for American Idol and The Voice etc.

But ZB1. Very bright, very poppy. There's a lot of them!! I don't know if I'm ready to take on nine new members but I am excited about peering into 5th gen music and see what's up.

How do y'all like ZEROBASEONE? Did you watch Boys Planet? Were you excited about which members debuted?

That's it for now. Enjoy the video!!

I haven't watched a lot of ZB1 stuff but I did follow them a little because of Jiwoong as well. His journey to becoming an idol was a STRUGGLE but he never gave up on his dream. There is still stigma surrounding LGBTQ communities in most of the world, so I was very supportive of him. I too watched his BL drama, and I appreciate the willingness to give a voice to a minority community. (I don't speculate about sexuality. Any sexuality can choose to act in a BL and I hope they're not stereotyped) Ricky is so ethereally beautiful it's unfair. I didn't watch Boys Planet while it was happening (I canNOT handle the bickering and fan wars) but I enjoy watching the competition shows after they've completed. I REALLY loved I-Land and Kingdom. A lot of the competition groups fall apart, but I'm excited that ZB1 has done well and I hope it allows them to keep their places in entertainment going forward as a group or individuals.

Zerobaseone is theee only group i’ve ever given the title of ult group alongside Seventeen (the ZB1 - SVT pipeline is a REAL THING). I decided to stan and literally binge watch all of Boys Planet about 2 months ago bc i had already loved the songs that i heard from them and i literally balled my eyes out 😭. Their signature sound is Drum&Bass and Garage and i just love their music A LOT. It’s truly a crime that they’re just a temporary group… Their fandom name is Zerose and their debut album broke records as the highest sales for a debut album ever! They are one of the first groups to debut in the 5th gen of kpop and many people say that they break a lot of kpop industry stereotypes as half of the members have tattoos, the eldest is a known BL actor, and one of the chinese members Zhanghao, won first place in all of Boys Planet being ZB1’s official center. This was a huge deal since in these Survival show groups, they never allowed a non-korean contestant to win that title!! Love them sm! 💗

I really kind of want to jump into some of these competition shows. Knowing that ENHYPEN and ILLIT both came from shows. And apparently so did Twice?! I might get attached to some contestants this way but I like getting to the know the idol and rooting for them! Ohhhh I also want to watch KINGDOM. I've only heard good things. It's gotta be tough though. To have limited contracts and still not know if this will last awhile or not. Wishing the best for those kids!!

The title of ULT GROUP next to SEVENTEEN!! THat's HUGE. Omg I've actually thought of binging Boys Planet just because I love competition shows. I might bawl if I do?! It's so interesting because they're so new and they're breaking a lot stereotypes. Maybe we'll circle back to them soon and check out their show / music! Sorry this reply is coming months late. Been busy! And the post got buried!!
