AND2BLE's Zhang Hao Trades Bright Zerobaseone Image for Jade Suit in Billboard Korea Cover

K-pop group AND2BLE member Zhang Hao is showing a more mature side in a new digital cover, stepping away from the bright image he was known for during his time with Zerobaseone. He appears in a jade-toned suit that marks a clear shift in styling.

Billboard Korea unveiled the group and individual digital covers on its official social media on the 27th, rolling them out one by one. The artist magazine cover features all five AND2BLE members: Zhang Hao, Yu Seung-eon, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, and Han Yu-jin.

In the images, Zhang Hao wears a jade suit that gives off a more grown-up feel. It reads as a deliberate move away from the center-position image he built during his Zerobaseone days.

AND2BLE is a five-member group made up of Zhang Hao, Yu Seung-eon, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, and Han Yu-jin. Four of the members, all except Yu Seung-eon, returned to their original agency after wrapping up their run in Zerobaseone, the project boy group formed through the Mnet audition show Boys Planet. They later re-debuted together as AND2BLE.

The new digital cover is built around the theme "Carpe Diem." All five members work classic suits in their own way, trading their earlier fresh, youthful look for something calmer and more grown-up.

Zhang Hao pairs his jade suit with clean, polished hair and makeup, landing on an image that feels different from the group's early days. The other members round out the shoot with suit styling that leans into their individual personalities.

AND2BLE officially debuted in May with its first mini album, "Sequence 01: Curiosity." The album sold more than 730,000 copies in its first week on the Hanteo chart, and lead single "Curious" picked up two wins on Korean music shows.

The group then took its show-concert "2026 AND2BLE SHOW CONCERT : Welcome to Qurious" to four cities across Asia. More recently, the members have kept up their activity through domestic and international awards shows, including the "2026 K-WORLD DREAM AWARDS."
