ZEROBASEONE, a group formed through the Mnet audition program "Boys Planet," will reorganize as a five-member team and continue its activities.

On the 12th, their agency Wake One stated, "The five members Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, and Park Gunwook have decided to embark on a new season of ZEROBASEONE together, based on deep mutual trust."

Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, and Han Yujin, who belong to YH Entertainment, will pursue their own paths after continuing activities through the encore concert to be held in March at KSPO Dome in Olympic Park in Seoul. This decision was reached after discussions between the members and each of their agencies.

ZEROBASEONE is a nine-member project group that debuted in 2023, with an original planned activity period of two years and six months. As their activities were set to end in January, the industry focused on whether they would extend their contracts, and in the end they chose a combined approach of maintaining the team while also pursuing individual activities. Previously, all members had agreed to extend their activities by two months, through the release of a new album this month and the Seoul encore concert in March.

Since debut, ZEROBASEONE has built a powerful fandom by achieving six consecutive million-seller records, and starting with the March concert, the group will shift to a five-member lineup. Wake One emphasized, "We will provide full support so that the five-member system can settle in stably, and at the same time we will continue to communicate so that all members can grow as companions."

Regarding the four members leaving the team, the agency said, "They have completed the predetermined project period and are now preparing for a new leap forward," adding, "We ask for your continued encouragement and support for their future paths."

Wake One stated, "The musical achievements that the nine members have built up under the name ZEROBASEONE will not remain fixed at a particular point in time, but will continue to expand in various ways and maintain their vitality," and added, "Although the form of activities will change, the values we have shared so far and the identity of the team will remain unchanged."
