On March 13 KST, ZEROBASEONE kicked off day 1 of their 3-day world tour encore finale, 'Here & Now Encore' in Seoul.
Throughout the concert, the 9-members of ZEROBASEONE looked back on the brightest moments of their journey from the past 2 years and 6 months, delighting fans with a medley of their beloved songs.
'Here & Now Encore' also marks ZEROBASEONE's final promotion as 9-members. Afterward, the group is set to continue as a 5-member group, while Zhang Hao, Ricky, Han Yujin, and Kim Gyuvin will be returning to their original agency, Yuehua Entertainment. The encore finale thus carried an overarching theme of farewell, as the 5 remaining ZB1 members as well as ZEROSE prepared to bid the 4 parting members tearful goodbyes.
The 4 members also shared their thoughts on their final moments as ZEROBASEONE during their closing remarks, which you can watch and read below.
Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE's Seoul encore finale will continue with day 2 and day 3 from March 14-15 at the KSPO Dome.
"Did you watch the content released yesterday? I watched it too. I cried while watching. I'd been looking forward to this concert. I wanted today to come as quickly as possible. But I realized that I also want it to start as late as possible. Since we only have a limited amount of time together, goodbye is inevitable. But remember, the 9 of us have become family. And we have become family with ZEROSE. So the words we always say to one another, 'We love you forever', those words are not empty words. You know that, right? There are lyrics from a song of ours that I really like, and they go, 'I'll recognize you tomorrow just like today, hello'. Me, Ricky, Guvin, and Yujin... we love you. Just know that."
"Performing for 3 hours straight like this for 3 days, it's such an incredible thing. It's also difficult to fulfill, because of physical limitations, right? Still, I was relieved that we would get to do this for 3 days. I'm honestly scared of what day 3 will be like. I don't even want to think about it. So I'm glad that there's still time. I hope that the time that we have remaining today, and tomorrow, and the last day, I hope it will all go by slowly."
"Once, I said, 'Do not lose what's precious to you because you become accustomed to it. I meant that in the sense that I would not grow accustomed to the love of ZEROSE and grow slack, that I would continue to do my best. To me, the love of ZEROSE was such a great strength and driving force in my life. I am where I am today because of that love. We'll see each other again. It's not like this is the end for good. But there will be some ZEROSE for whom today is the last day. Those of you who can't come tomorrow and the day after. For those of you, let me greet you one more time. This has been Han Yujin of ZEROBASEONE. Thank you."
"ZEROSE, did you have fun today? We have 2 more days until we conclude our journey together. You're upset and hurt, right? I feel like the pain you must have experienced from the recent news is almost equal to the happiness you have experienced because of us, and that has been weighing me down lately. Rather than assuring you with the correct answer, I wanted to just become someone who could speak to your heart. Did I do that? I promise to always keep my word and assure you that I will not change, as long as the light shines on me on this stage. Also, there is a song that I wanted to sing for you, and I hope that you will listen carefully to the words. Thank you for protecting the 9 of us all this time."
