Sung Han-bin, the leader and center of ZEROBASEONE and a former I-LAND 2 contestant, will launch his solo debut on October 12, making him the first ZB1 member to pursue a solo project.

Built as an all-rounder with strong dancing and singing ability, Han-bin is also active as a host on Mnet’s dance competition show, underscoring his versatility.

The Live Label confirmed the solo debut report following local media coverage.

Han-bin’s trajectory mirrors a broader K-pop trend of center-to-solo pipelines, with past examples shaping expectations for his solo path.

ZeroBaseOne originally debuted as a nine-member group and restructured to five members in March after some members did not extend activities.

Han-bin contributed to ZB1’s sixth mini-album Ascend- and its title track TOP 5, while also releasing a Japanese EP that topped Oricon charts after the group’s reorganization.

His solo debut is considered well-tounded given his leadership role, talent as a dancer and vocalist, stage presence, and growing involvement in songwriting and choreography.

WakeOne confirms that Sung is preparing for a solo debut while continuing his group activities.

Details on the solo format are forthcoming, with expectations that it will be a digital single or mini-album and concept to be announced soon.

Beyond music, Han-bin has hosted shows like Street World Fighter: Director’s War and has served as a fashion/beauty ambassador, including a notable role as KCON’s first global ambassador.

Han-bin has led ZB1 to million-seller album status and earned multiple music-show wins, reinforcing his high-profile solo potential.

ZB1’s Japanese EP Love recently topped Oricon’s weekly ranking, highlighting the group’s international momentum ahead of solo activities.
