Sung Han-bin Sets October 12 Date for Solo Debut
The ZEROBASEONE leader will launch his solo career three years after his group debut, with THE L1VE promising a new side of the singer and performer.

Reported against primary sources.
Sung Han-bin is officially stepping out as a solo artist.
THE L1VE LABEL announced September 7 that the ZEROBASEONE leader will make his solo debut on October 12, marking the first time he will release music under his own name since entering the industry three years ago.
The agency said Sung is currently focused on preparations for the debut and asked fans to look forward to a new side of the singer.
Further details — including the format of the release, its title and tracklist — have not yet been announced.
Sung first gained widespread attention through Mnet’s “Boys Planet” in 2023, finishing second in the competition before debuting as a member of ZEROBASEONE later that year.
He has since established himself as the group’s leader while building a profile around both vocals and performance.
His solo debut arrives during a new chapter for ZEROBASEONE as well. The group continued activities this year with its sixth mini album “Ascend-,” while Sung has expanded his individual work outside of music through hosting and ambassador roles.
THE L1VE said Sung’s solo activities will continue alongside his work with ZEROBASEONE rather than replacing his group activities.
The October release will now offer the first full look at what Sung wants to present musically when the focus is entirely his own.
