bad(0-4.9) mid (5-6.9) like (7-8.4) love (8.5-10)

ZEROBASEONE - 2026 - 7 songs

Intro - N/A

TOP 5 - 8.5/10

i wish the song was longer...

V for Vision - 8/10

2 FINGERS UPPPPP

Customize - 9/10

idk how this is people least fav its so good

Exotic - 10/10

everythings right about this song

Changes - 9/10

such a beautiful song

Zero to Hundred - 9/10

oh my ot9... i can still hear their voices

overall a 9/10

Yo why is the album so short, only one song over 3 mins and thats barely. The songs are good too so i'll let it be excused. This is an amazing rebrand ill admit. I still miss my ot9 but im happy they were able to still thrive even when separated. I think this album and sound fits their vocals perfectly and really makes them shine. I see myself constantly coming back to this album for a listen because its so good.

this will definitely change in the future

12 - Fall in love again

yeah no im not even going to pretend i like this song

11 - ex

i prefer the b-sides on this album more tbh

10 - UNIQUE

maybe it needs more time to grow on me but its not rlly for me

9 - DUH

this just looks like i hate their new music oh my god, i promise i don't i just prefer the bsides compared to the title track

8 - doom du doom

that chorus is just not for me

7 - jump

overplayed by me,myself and i sadly

6 - scared

the way i used to hate this song with my whole heart, i've really grown to love the noise

5 - do it like this

still dont know what to do like this but alright

entering top 4 honestly these could all be swapped i love all of them

4 - siren

one of the best debuts oat

3 - killin it

their first win with this 🥹 bring back ginger jiung please

2 - sad song

whole album peak, music video peak, concept peak, everything peak

1 - back down

overplayed but still good asf, boy group excellence

ok thats all bye

bad(0-4.9) mid(5-6.9) like (7-8.4) love (8.5-10)

YVES - 2026 - 5 songs

It - 8/10

this sounds like another song i cant put my finger on it tho still a vibe tho

HALO - 7/10

NAIL (feat. Lolo Zouai) - 9/10

Definitely grew on me since release i see the vision

Break it (feat. lexie liu) - 9/10

I was so happy when i saw lexie liu would be featured

birth - 7.5/10

overall a 8/10

i wasn't really feeling it when it first came out, whether that be for the lack of lyrics or it being a more 'sound' based ep. Part of me really wanted to hear yves sing a bit more; but ive gotten over that and im able to truly listen to this album and enjoy it. First of all i was and still am inlove with this concept. The overall sound is cohesive and just vibey yk, like i can get down to this in a club rn. The features amazing as well, so happy lexie and yves collabed especially. This is definitely an album which has grown on me!

hiiii (sorry for the late reply !!) my days been amazing hbu?

i don't hate any of these song btw some are just better then others!

8 - so what

i used to actually despise this song but i can bare it now so thats growth

7 - luminous

a few months ago this would be much higher but i kinda got bored of it

6 - flip that

again one of those songs i really liked at some point

5 - PTT (paint the town)

i have to be in a specific mood for this song

4 - why not

there's something wrong with people who hate this song

3 - butterfly

life changing actually this song deserves the glaze

2 - hula hoop

THIS IS MY SONGGGGG honestly this can be swapped with no.1

1 - hi high

who's surprised. this song can never be bad it aged perfectly, amazing debut what else can i say

i take requests on album to rate btw so feel free to request!

yes i will make everything about loona!

Keeho as hyeju/yeojin

They have to serve every 5 seconds of they will explode + hyeju and keeho wolf agenda

Theo as gowon/kim lip

walk with me here i dont know how to explain it

Jiung as chuu/haseul

haseul and jiung are twins first of all and chuu and jiung bring the exact same energy

Intak as jinsoul/choerry

again idk how to exactly explain this one but if you look it at from a certain angle jinsoul, choerry and intak are all the same person

Soul as vivi/hyunjin

least line crew💔✌️ but soul is just a mix of vivi and hyunjin if u rlly think about it + that one ttyl challenge with soul and hyunjin

Jongseob as yves/heejin

yves and jongseob have a similar aesthetic + heejin and jongseob are both rappers

GOD PLEASE BRING MY FAMILY BACK TOGETHER

bad(0-4.9) mid(5-6.9) like (7-8.4) love (8.5-10)

ARTMS - 2024 - 11 SONGS

final thoughts :

Most of the songs are so replay-able and just amazing. I love the concept and the whole album just feels magical but also eerie. Definitely deserves the hype it got.There was also lots of samples which may be a problem for people but they sampled their OWN songs so well that I cant even complain like the algorithm sample in flower rhythm is amazing. The whole album just reeks of loona, definitely my fav redebut album. LOVE YOU ARTMS!!!

currently zb1pilled so get ready for back to back zb1 posts

hanbin as f(x)

he would just fit their concepts so well + he reminds me of krystal hm : loona

jiwoong as AOA

you know he would eat up the sexy concepts. their songs are a mix of sexy and hype vibes that he'd do amazing on stage hm : wonder girls, fromis_9

hao as idle

his tomboy performance influenced this decision heavily hm : nmixx, aespa

taerae as gfriend

this one was tough i had like 2 other groups in mind for him but ultimately chose gfriend, i think his vocals could go really well with their songs hm : apink, sistar

matthew as new jeans

idek how to explain this one but know he just gives new jeans vibes hm: twice

ricky as aespa

ever since he did the drama dance i knew this is where he belonged hm: red velvet ( specifically the velvet side tho), 9muses, dreamcatcher

gyuvin as everglow

just think the ktr gyuvin and u cannot tell me he doesnt fit in with everglow's concept hm: itzy

gunwook as stayc

HE IS FOR THE STAYC GIRLS, gunwook was meant to be in a girl group hm: le serrafim, twice, girls generation

yujin as ive

he already fits the prince concept rn so ofc he'd be perfect for ive + him as leeseo are twins

----------------------------------------------------------------

goodbye chat will be back with more zb1

we are back again but this time im assigning loona solos to the zb1 members

HANBIN'S SOLO : singing in the rain by jinsoul

i think this sound for him could create a good performance video (like his bad boy vid) and also a strong choreography with some tutting.

JIWOONG'S SOLO : everyday i love you by vivi

i'd scrap the dance for him if he were to perform this live and focus solely on his vocals with him standing or sitting. i think this track suits him nicely

ZHANG HAO'S SOLO : around you by hyunjin

he'd so fit a ballad like this omg im already imagining it. It'd be a a small setup performance video no fancy editing just him and the song

MATTHEW'S SOLO : love cherry motion by choerry

i originally put heart attack by chuu but after giving it some thought i think this song is actually perfect for matthew. it allows him to showcase both his cute/bubbly side and more serious side and i think he could do this perfectly in a live performance considering how strong his stage presence is. do yall see my vision or....

TAERAE'S SOLO : let me in by haseul

a classical song like this and taerae's vocals sign me uppppp. deffo see him performing this live too

RICKY'S SOLO : Eclipse by kim lip

who's surprised. a sultry R&B song just for ricky. just imagine the eclipse mv but replace kim lip with crush era ricky exactly, done. this is what i mean when i say kim lip birthed ricky

GYUVIN'S SOLO : egoist by hyeju

this was a bit tricky but i see it. he could totally nail the vibe for this song. Imagine a dance performance of this live with a pre-recorded backtrack (sung by him obviously) but the rap of the song sang live. DO YALL GET MEEEEE

GUNWOOK'S SOLO : ViViD by heejin

a potential music video with this one... the sound, the dance, the expressions all just give gunwook.

YUJIN'S SOLO : new by yves

he should've performed this song for his 20th damn it. anyway i can see a performance video (like his over me cover) of him. i think his vocals could do really well with this song and also he'd do good with the dance.

sorry to one&only, kiss later and heart attack😔✌️

(do yall i think should do this but with twice🤔🤔)

so here's which members in loona the zb1 boys would be

SUNG HANBIN AS JEON HEEJIN

both strong dancers and feel like their personalities are similar. also that one time on live hanbin mentioned listening to heejin's songs 🥹

KIM JIWOONG AS KIM HYUNJIN

they are on the same level of strangeness to me also both kims sooo

ZHANG HAO AS JO HASEUL or YVES

the oldest members who are introverted but always be some of the funniest they look like they'd sit at the same table too

SEOK MATTHEW AS CHOERRY

pls tell me yall see the resemblance ultimate aegyomaxxers

KIM TAERAE AS CHUU

THEY ARE ACTUAL TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHEN RICKY AS KIM LIP or SON HYEJU

they all have the same aura at first glance ricky getting called 'him lip' #whoremembers

KIM GYUVIN AS IM YEOJIN

both very playful with their members and scream little sibling

PARK GUNWOOK AS JEONG JINSOUL

i feel like their personalities match but specifically in variety shows idk how to explain it but they'd get along

HAN YUJIN AS GOWON or VIVI

they both do this awkward face and i think its so flipping funny

anyway thats all i will post another one soon that will be assigning zb1 members loona solos✌️
