The group ZEROBASEONE (ZB1), also known as ZB1, consisting of members Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Haoh, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Kyubin, Park Geonwook, and Han Yujin, has entered Gochek Dome, meeting their global fans, Zeroz (fandom name), just one month after their debut.
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, after debuting just one month ago on the 10th of last month, proved their "beyond rookie" global popularity by filling Gochek Dome, an arena where only popular artists can attract audiences. ZEROBASEONE emerged from the Mnet boy group debut survival show 'Boys Planet,' which aired from February to April, and was created by the top 9 contestants, ranked from 1st to 9th, through global final votes by star creators from 184 countries. Since their debut, the group has been boasting global popularity.
ZEROBASEONE achieved the feat of becoming the first K-pop group to enter the "Million Seller" status with their debut album 'YOUTH IN THE SHADE,' recording sales of approximately 1.82 million copies in the first week of its release. Their debut title track 'In Bloom' entered major domestic and international music charts and achieved a triple crown on music broadcasts, marking a splendid start for the "5th generation idol" era.
During the fan concert, the members performed stages of their debut song 'In Bloom,' the track 'New Kidz on the Block' from their album, as well as special stages never seen before, reflecting their gratitude to their global fandom. They interacted with Zeroz through various segments that showcased the unique charms of each of the nine members.
