ASTRO’s main vocalist MJ (real name Kim Myung Jun) and main rapper JINJIN (real name Park Jin Woo) combined their names to form the unit name ZOONIZINI, beginning their musical journey together.

Celebrating their 10th debut anniversary this year, MJ and JINJIN encapsulated the flow of their shared journey in this first mini album "DICE". Their determination to break out of the mold and enjoy every moment unfolds through six interconnected tracks that take listeners on an unpredictable journey, like rolling dice.

The title track 'Some Things Never Change' is an emotional hip-hop track highlighted by simple yet addictive rap and melody. JINJIN took part in both writing and composing the song, infusing it with ZOONIZINI’s unique color and story for added meaning.

The chorus lyrics — “Same thoughts so we act the same. 놀 때면 (translated to “When we play”) No time to sleep. 너무 웃어 (translated to “Laugh so hard”) Cannot breathe. Some things never change” — portray their unchanging friendship since their carefree days, evoking a nostalgic mood.

The music video for 'Some Things Never Change' delivers upbeat energy through ZOONIZINI’s playful chemistry. Their lively and rhythmic performance in sync with the bouncy beat doubles the fun of watching and listening.
