Group ZeroBaseOne (ZEROBASEONE, ZB1), consisting of members Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Haoh, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Kyubin, Park Geonwook, and Han Yujin, entered Gochek Dome just one month after their debut, meeting their global fans, Zeroz (fandom name).
On the 15th, in the afternoon, ZeroBaseOne held the fan concert '2023 ZERObaseONE FAN-CON' at Gochek Sky Dome in Seoul's Guro District, starting their energetic journey with 18,000 Zeroz.
ZeroBaseOne's debut album 'YOUTH IN THE SHADE' achieved sales of approximately 1.82 million copies in its first week of release, making them the first K-pop group to debut with a 'Million Seller' status. The debut title track 'In Bloom' entered major domestic and international music charts and secured a triple crown on music broadcasts, marking a splendid start for the "5th generation idol" era.
Regarding the overwhelming popularity they have gained since their debut, Zhang Haoh expressed his thoughts, saying, "We've achieved remarkable records since our debut, and let's continue to walk this path together!" He led the applause of the Zeroz fans with his heartfelt statement.
Just one month after their debut on the 10th of last month, ZeroBaseOne made an impressive entry into Gochek Dome, an arena typically filled only by popular artists, thus showcasing their "beyond rookie" global popularity. ZeroBaseOne's journey to stardom began when they emerged as a group from the Mnet boy group debut survival show 'Boys Planet,' which aired from February to April. This show brought together the top 9 contestants from a global final vote by star creators from 184 countries, ranking from 1st to 9th, thus solidifying their global popularity right after their debut.
