The release is presented as the second part of the band's "Paradise" series, following Cinema Paradise (2024).

Background and release

[edit]

In August 2024, Zerobaseone released their fourth EP, Cinema Paradise, supported by its lead single, "Good So Bad".[1] With the release, the band became the first K-pop group to sell one million copies on the first day of release for four consecutive albums.[2] The band also embarked on its first tour, Timeless World, playing to over 140,000 spectators in East and Southeast Asia.[3]

The band began 2025 with the release of Prezent, their first Japanese-language EP.[4] On January 9, WakeOne announced that the Zerobaseone would be releasing "Doctor! Doctor", the first single from their new fifth Korean-language EP, on the 20th.[5] At the same time, the agency confirmed that EP would be released in February,[6] though no specific date was revealed until a week later when the release was confirmed for February 24.[7]

The EP's title, Blue Paradise, was announced at midnight on February 3rd.[8] At the same time, the band revealed a teaser trailer entitled "Quest: Find Blue" on their social media.[9] The title of the EP's second single, "Blue", was revealed on February 7, along with a teaser poster showing a blue fountain against a night sky.[10]

Composition

[edit]

Blue Paradise acts as the second part of the band's two-part "Paradise" series, following 2024's Cinema Paradise.[11] The EP's first single, "Doctor! Doctor", is described as a contemporary R&B ballad,[12] with lyrics that center around the band pleading for a doctor to heal them of their lovesickness.[13]

Promotion

[edit]

Zerobaseone promoted the EP with performance of "Doctor! Doctor!" on Mnet's M Countdown on January 23. The stage for the performance was dressed to resemble a hospital, and the band used hand gestures spelling out each letter of "love".[14] The band's agency also announced the"'Doctor! Doctor!' 10 Million Streaming Challenge", promising to donate ₩100 million (US$87,416) to an unnamed charity in the name of their fans if the song receives 10 million streams on South Korean music service Melon.[15]
