ZEROBASEONE to Continue as Five-Member Group — Four Members Conclude Project Activities

ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) will officially reorganize into a five-member group, agency WakeOne announced on February 12.

According to the statement, members Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, and Park Gunwook have agreed to begin a new chapter together under the ZEROBASEONE name. The decision was made after extensive discussions involving the members and their respective agencies.

WakeOne stated it will provide full support to ensure the group’s transition into a five-member system is stable and successful, emphasizing continued communication and growth among the remaining members.

Four Members to Conclude Project Term

Meanwhile, Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, and Han Yujin will conclude their participation following the completion of the originally designated project period. The agency noted that the four members are preparing for new beginnings and asked fans to continue offering encouragement and support as they move forward on separate paths.

The restructuring marks a major turning point for the project group, which was formed through Mnet’s survival program “Boys Planet” and debuted on July 10, 2023.

All Nine to Reunite for Encore Concert

Despite the lineup change, WakeOne confirmed that the previously announced “2026 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR [HERE & NOW] ENCORE” concert will feature all nine members performing together one final time.

“The musical legacy built by the nine members under the name ZEROBASEONE will continue to expand in different forms and possibilities,” the agency stated. “While the structure of activities may change, the values and identity shared with fans will remain.”

The announcement signals both an end and a beginning for ZEROBASEONE, as the group transitions into a new phase while honoring the journey created with nine members.

Further details regarding upcoming activities under the five-member lineup will be announced at a later date.
