ZEROBASEONE’s unit EMP is preparing to take another step forward with a new musical release.
The two-member unit, consisting of Seok Matthew and Park Gunwook, has announced its first digital single, “RUN,” featuring a collaboration with renowned Korean hip-hop duo Dynamicduo.
The announcement has sparked interest among fans eager to see how the artists’ musical styles will come together.
Following the release of EMP’s first mixtape in September, the upcoming single will give the unit another opportunity to establish its identity outside ZEROBASEONE’s group activities.
On October 24, a teaser for “RUN” was revealed, offering fans an initial look at the upcoming release.
The digital single is scheduled to arrive on November 4 at 6 p.m. KST.
EMP Continues Its Musical Journey After Debut Mixtape
EMP brings together ZEROBASEONE members Seok Matthew and Park Gunwook.
The unit introduced its music through its first mixtape, “EMP Mixtape Vol.1: We the Extra,” released in September 2026.
The mixtape marked an important beginning for the duo, allowing the members to explore their musical direction as a smaller unit.
Its release also introduced listeners to EMP as a separate creative project within ZEROBASEONE’s broader activities.
The unit’s name draws inspiration from the term “electromagnetic pulse.”
The concept reflects the ambition to create a musical space where the two members’ performances take center stage, shutting out surrounding distractions and allowing their sound to stand on its own.
With “RUN,” EMP is now moving from its introductory mixtape to a dedicated digital single.
The upcoming track will further develop the unit’s musical identity while giving fans another release focused specifically on Seok Matthew and Park Gunwook.
The announcement also builds on the momentum created by the unit’s September activities.
While the mixtape introduced EMP’s sound, the new single offers a fresh opportunity for the duo to connect with listeners through a standalone release.
“RUN” Brings EMP and Dynamicduo Together
The most notable feature of the upcoming single is its collaboration with Dynamicduo, the established Korean hip-hop duo.
Their participation adds another dimension to EMP’s new release and raises curiosity about how the artists will combine their musical approaches.
The title poster for “RUN” was revealed through ZEROBASEONE’s official social media channels.
The promotional image features bold, free-spirited lettering, with Dynamicduo’s name displayed alongside the song title to highlight the collaboration.
Although further musical details have yet to be revealed in the announcement, the pairing has given fans a reason to look forward to the track.
The release brings together two ZEROBASEONE members working as a unit and a well-known duo from Korea’s hip-hop scene.
EMP also gave audiences an early opportunity to hear “RUN” before its official digital release.
On October 24, the unit performed the new song at the 2026 Seoul Runners Festival at Yeouido Park in Seoul.
The appearance served as a pre-release performance, allowing attendees to experience the track ahead of its scheduled launch.
The official digital single will be released on November 4 at 6 p.m. KST.
Fans can look forward to further promotional updates and teasers as the release date approaches.
With a new collaboration, an early live performance, and a confirmed release date, “RUN” marks the next chapter for ZEROBASEONE’s EMP.
The single will build on the foundation established by “We the Extra” while introducing a new partnership with Dynamicduo.
