ZEROBASEONE’s long-awaited world tour kicked off with a bang — but the absence of a re-contract announcement has left fans wondering about the group’s future.

The nine-member group — Sung Han Bin, Kim Ji Woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Bin, Park Gun Wook, and Han Yu Jin — launched their ‘2025 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR ‘HERE & NOW’ with three sold-out shows at KSPO DOME in Seoul from October 3 to 5, gathering around 30,000 fans over three days.

Since the concert fell close to their 900th day since debut, many fans expected a special announcement about the group’s contract renewal. However, there was no mention of a re-contract, sparking concern and speculation among fans.

Later, Kim Gyu Bin addressed the situation during a live fan broadcast, saying honestly, “Nothing has been decided yet.” His statement confirmed that discussions about extending the group’s contract are still ongoing.

Despite the uncertainty, the atmosphere at the concert was filled with excitement and emotion. ZEROBASEONE performed fan-favorite tracks including “ICONIK,” “GOOD SO BAD,” “CRUSH (Thorn),” “In Bloom,” and “BLUE,” showcasing their strong vocals, synchronized choreography, and growing artistry.

They also delighted fans with special stages — such as the visually stunning performance of “SWEAT” and the captivating rope choreography in “Dear ECLIPSE.” Each number was uniquely arranged for the tour, keeping the audience engaged from start to finish.

One of the most touching moments came when the members spoke to fans directly, expressing heartfelt gratitude.

“We’ve been happy because ZEROSE has always been by our side. ZEROSE is the reason we can stay grounded. We’ll keep singing for ZEROSE with the same heart,” the group said.

Before closing the show, ZEROBASEONE gave fans an unexpected surprise — the announcement of one additional concert date in Hong Kong, earning loud cheers from the crowd.

Following their successful Seoul concerts, the group will bring their ‘HERE & NOW’ world tour to Bangkok (Oct 18), Saitama (Oct 29–30), Kuala Lumpur (Nov 8), Singapore (Nov 15), Taipei (Dec 6), and Hong Kong (Dec 19–21) — totaling 12 performances in 7 cities worldwide.

While their stage power remains undeniable, fans can’t help but wonder — will ZEROBASEONE continue together beyond this tour?
