ZEROBASEONE still in contract talks after three months as group focuses on world tour and original content

ZEROBASEONE is strengthening its global presence by actively engaging fans both online and offline. The group, whose contract is reportedly set to expire early next year, stated in August that discussions about extending their activities are “ongoing.” Three months later, no final decision has been announced.

After launching their '2025 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR ‘HERE&NOW’' in Seoul this past October, members Sung Han Bin, Kim Ji Woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Bin, Park Gun Wook, and Han Yu Jin have brought the tour to Bangkok, Saitama, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, showcasing their surging global popularity.

With upcoming shows in Taipei and Hong Kong, the group will complete a total of 12 concerts across seven cities. Through the tour, ZEROBASEONE is meeting fans worldwide while staying highly active across platforms, drawing significant attention for their constant communication.

Despite their packed tour schedule, the members regularly go live on their official social channels after each show to share post-concert reflections, demonstrating their strong affection for fans. They also participate in various trending challenges and upload snapshots of their everyday moments—content that consistently sparks conversation. Notably, BTS’s J-Hope, LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yunjin, and choreographer Kany have reacted to the group’s posts, further boosting interest.

ZEROBASEONE is also creating steady buzz through their official YouTube channel. Recently, Seok Matthew streamed himself playing a PC horror game from his room at the dorms, connecting with fans in real time. Park Gun Wook hosted an impromptu quiz for members backstage at a concert venue, while Kim Tae Rae offered a fresh vocal charm with his cover of Baekhyun’s “Amusement Park.”

As ZEROBASEONE continues their large-scale arena world tour, their first full-length album “NEVER SAY NEVER” set a new personal record by debuting at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 and has remained on several Billboard charts for 10 consecutive weeks. The group also secured back-to-back platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) in 2025 with their Japanese EP 'PREZENT' and special EP 'ICONIK,' solidifying their position as a “global top-tier” act in major music markets.
