The group was formed through the reality survival show Boys Planet, conducted by Mnet, where the contestants in the top nine ranks were brought together to form a temporary group. While the group's contract together only stands for two and a half years, they've already previously broken several records that were firmly held in the industry.

From standing as the group with the highest sales for their debut album to bagging several trophies at the year-end award shows, ZEROBASEONE has established itself as the best-performing fifth-generation K-pop group. Their recent achievement at the Immortal Songs 2 only added to their thriving reputation as the history-making rookie group.

During the latest episode, ZEROBASEONE, KARDI, Re Velvet's Seulgi & Irene, La Poem, ONF, and Jeong Dong-won were the participating contestants, and all of them were required to cover the same song, TVXQ's The Way You Are.
