on

What kind of artist will Sung Han Bin become when he steps onto the stage alone?

ZEROBASEONE’s Sung Han Bin has officially announced his first solo EP, “DEAD:ALIVE.” The project will be released on October 12, 2026, at 6 p.m. KST, marking an important new chapter for the K-pop performer.

Sung Han Bin revealed the promotional schedule through his official social media accounts on September 22. The schedule shows that fans will receive several releases before the full EP arrives, including a performance video, tracklist, concept photos, concept films and music video teasers.

Sung Han Bin Begins His First Solo Era

“DEAD:ALIVE” is Sung Han Bin’s first solo EP since his debut with ZEROBASEONE. He debuted with the group in 2023 after finishing second on the Mnet survival program “Boys Planet.”

As the leader of ZEROBASEONE, Sung Han Bin has become known for his stable vocals, detailed facial expressions and polished dance performances. His solo debut will give fans an opportunity to see a different side of his artistry beyond the group’s team identity.

According to the album description, “DEAD:ALIVE” will explore the idea of self-transcendence. The project focuses on breaking through fear and personal limitations while moving toward a new version of oneself.

What Is the Promotional Schedule?

The countdown begins on September 28 with the release of the “Killin’ Me” performance video.

The schedule suggests that the project will have a strong visual storyline. The first scheduler image features a dark and intense atmosphere, with a red butterfly appearing against a rough and damaged background.

Why This Solo Debut Matters

Sung Han Bin has spent the past three years developing his identity as both a group leader and performer. ZEROBASEONE has allowed him to show his teamwork and leadership, while the solo project gives him more control over the mood, concept and performance style.

Solo debuts are also important moments for K-pop artists because they reveal how a performer can build a personal identity outside of a group. Fans will likely pay close attention to the album’s sound, choreography and storytelling to see how Sung Han Bin’s individual style differs from ZEROBASEONE’s music.

The project is also arriving during a new period for ZEROBASEONE. The group is continuing its activities as a five-member team, while Sung Han Bin’s solo promotions will take place alongside his group schedule.

What Can Fans Expect?

At this stage, the full tracklist and title track details have not been revealed. However, the promotional schedule indicates that fans will receive new information almost every few days before the release.

The combination of the “DEAD:ALIVE” title, the red butterfly imagery and the theme of overcoming personal limits points to a darker and more dramatic concept than a simple seasonal release.

For fans who have followed Sung Han Bin since “Boys Planet,” the EP may represent the first opportunity to hear his musical color as a solo artist.

Sung Han Bin’s first solo EP “DEAD:ALIVE” will be released on digital music platforms on October 12 at 6 p.m. KST.
