The countdown is on. ZEROBASEONE (제로베이스원) will take the stage at Seoul's KSPO DOME on March 13, 14, and 15 for their final concerts as nine members. After two and a half years that redefined what a fifth-generation K-pop group could accomplish, these three nights mark the end of a chapter that nobody is ready to close.

HERE&NOW ENCORE: The Grand Finale

The 2026 ZEROBASEONE World Tour: HERE&NOW ENCORE runs through March 15 at KSPO DOME (Olympic Gymnastics Arena), Seoul. These Seoul dates serve as the official conclusion of the 2025 HERE&NOW world tour, which took the group through seven cities and drew 150,000 fans total. For ZEROSE, the group's fandom, these shows carry weight that goes far beyond a typical tour closing night.

The group previewed the encore format in Yokohama earlier this month at K-Arena, performing to sold-out crowds across two nights. Fans who have seen both runs confirm the setlist has been significantly overhauled and new stage production added, with moments designed specifically for this farewell run. Gyuvin put it plainly during one of his on-stage moments between songs: "This ending is a beginning for me too."

Watch It Live in Theaters

Fans who can't secure seats at KSPO DOME have one more option. CJ ENM's cinema chain CGV will broadcast the March 14 concert live at 6:00 PM KST across major locations nationwide, including Hyundai I'PARK Mall Yongsan, Times Square Yeongdeungpo, Yeonnam-dong, Wangsimni, Gangnam, Daejeon Terminal Complex, Daegu Metropolitan City, and Seomyeon. Tickets went on sale February 26 via the CGV mobile app.

Every theater attendee receives a group postcard featuring all nine members. CGV previously broadcast the Kanagawa, Japan encore on February 19 to strong audience response, with shows at Seomyeon, Yongsan, Wangsimni, and Yeongdeungpo selling out quickly before additional seats were released. The Seoul broadcast is expected to follow the same trajectory.

Jeonghyun Jeon, Head of Content Operations at CJ CGV, confirmed the theatrical demand is real: "We once again confirmed not only ZEROBASEONE's popularity but also the strong theatrical demand for K-pop live content."

The Numbers Behind the Group

ZEROBASEONE holds two records no other fifth-generation K-pop group has matched. They are the first fifth-gen act to surpass 9 million cumulative album sales, and the first K-pop group to have their first six consecutive releases each exceed 1 million copies sold. These are not vanity metrics. They demonstrate consistent mainstream traction across every project the group released from debut through their most recent work.

Their special limited album RE-FLOW dropped February 2, 2026, closing out the group's discography as nine with title track "LOVEPOCALYPSE," a drum-and-bass track that landed as a proper goodbye for the era.

What Happens After March 15

March 15 is the official end date of ZEROBASEONE's activities as a nine-member group. Four members, Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, and Han Yu-jin, will part ways with the group when their contracts expire that day. Their direct fan messaging channels also close on March 15.

WAKEONE Entertainment confirmed in February that five members will continue as ZEROBASEONE going forward: Kim Ji-woong, Sung Han-bin, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, and Park Gun-wook. What that next chapter looks like in practice is not yet announced, but the confirmation that the name and five of its members carry on gives some continuity to the story.

Sung Han-bin has already lined up major solo commitments. He was named the inaugural KCON Global Ambassador for 2026, representing the global K-culture festival through KCON Japan in May and KCON LA in August. He will serve as a guide and storyteller for the event's evolving identity as a platform covering K-pop, K-beauty, K-food, and broader Korean culture.

The Full Arc

ZEROBASEONE debuted on July 10, 2023, formed through Mnet's Boys Planet survival competition and managed by WAKEONE Entertainment. In under three years they sold 9 million albums, completed a world tour across three continents, and closed out their contract-defined run with records intact. The nine-member era ends at KSPO DOME in March. Whatever comes next for the departing four and the continuing five, the HERE&NOW ENCORE is the last time fans will see this specific lineup on any stage.
