Name[edit]
Zerobaseone represents the "journey of the nine trainees to be completed as one after their debut".[1] It refers to the "glorious beginning" of the nine members, starting from zero (0) and ending with one (1), and implies the members' commitment to share with their fans the unfinished journey of their group from zero to one. Zerobaseone is abbreviated as ZB1.[2]
Endorsements[edit]
In July 2023, Zerobaseone was announced as the first brand models for Bring Green, a South Korean skincare brand.[40] In the same year, the group was also selected as the brand muse for several clothing brands, such as Romantic Crown for its 2023 Fall/Winter Collection in September,[41] Skoolooks for the launch promotion of its school winter uniform collection in November,[42] and SPAO for a collaboration collection inspired from the group's song "Good Night" in December.[43] In April 2024, coincidentally with their first formation anniversary, Zerobaseone collaborated with Line Friends to release nine new characters as the group's alter ego. Dubbed as 'zeroni (제로니)', each character is named after each member's nickname.[44]
