Hours ago, Melon announced their new project Hi-Rising along with the first featured artist, ZEROBASEONE (ZB1).
For those who might not be familiar, Melon is one of the most popular music streaming platforms in South Korea (28 million users) with its own music charts and awards as well.
What does it mean? So based on the tweets and information released, for the following 5 weeks (or so), there will be exclusive debut content that Melon will be releasing featuring ZB1.

1st Mission
At the end of the post, there’s an event from Melon stating that once ZEROBASEONE accomplishes its 1st mission, there will be a gift to Zerose.
To translate the above, once ZB1 reached a number of 20,000 fans, there will be a ‘Hidden Clip’ of them released. For participants of this event, which will close on 4 Jul 2023, there will be Melon Cash benefit to be won.
