The group ZEROBASEONE (ZEROBASEONE) officially opened the curtain on their 2025 world tour in Seoul.
ZEROBASEONE (Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyubin, Park Geonwook, Han Yujin) held the world tour '2025 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR 'HERE&NOW'' at Seoul KSPO DOME for three days from the 3rd to the 5th and met about 30,000 fans.
"'Here and Now' is a tour newly staged on an expanded scale following last year's tour 'TIMELESS WORLD.' The Seoul three-show run announcing its start sold out all seats early, and extra limited-visibility seats were opened, once again confirming ZEROBASEONE's scorching popularity."
As the title 'HERE&NOW' suggests, the concert, which was composed of four parts, compressed and showed all the moments ZEROBASEONE has run through. ZEROBASEONE and ZEROSE (ZEROSE, the fandom name), and the overwhelming set that recreated a universe where only they exist were undoubtedly the viewing highlights.
ZEROBASEONE covered their past promotional songs, including 'Iconik (ICONIK),' 'Good So Bad (GOOD SO BAD),' 'Crush (Gasi) (CRUSH (가시)),' 'In Bloom (In Bloom),' and 'Blue (BLUE),' proving their musical growth. Sometimes kitschy, sometimes powerful, sometimes refreshing, the ZEROBASEONE-style, highly polished performances were a feast that never let the eye wander for a moment.
In particular, ZEROBASEONE added arrangement points exclusive to the tour, such as dance breaks for each song, providing rich visual variety. In 'Sweat (SWEAT)' they performed a routine lying on the stage, and in 'Dear ECLIPSE (Dear ECLIPSE)' they delivered deadly charm with moves using ropes.
Unit stages that showcased each member's distinct charm were also presented. 'Long Way Back (Long Way Back)' was a unit song by Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Kim Taerae and Ricky, depicting the distance of a fading heart with delicate vocal harmonies that filled the venue with emotion. Meanwhile, Sung Hanbin, Seok Matthew, Kim Gyubin, Park Geonwook and Han Yujin elevated ZEROBASEONE's addictive charm into a powerful performance with 'Extra (EXTRA),' drawing admiration.
What completed 'Here and Now' was ZEROBASEONE's brilliantly shining love for their fans. ZEROBASEONE advanced onto protruding stages that split in each direction and used trot cars to get closer to fans. In the corner where they granted fans' wishes on the spot, they heated up the venue by performing the 'K-pop Demon Hunters' OST, a challenge dance, and presenting a three-piece set from aegyo to cool poses.
ZEROBASEONE said "We were happy thanks to ZEROSE, who always stayed by our side. ZEROSE is the reason we can be people with deep roots. We will not change this feeling and will keep singing for ZEROSE," conveying heartfelt remarks. Especially, ZEROBASEONE surprised fans by announcing that a first Hong Kong show had been added at the end of the final day's performance.
With all seats sold out in Seoul to open the 2025 world tour 'HERE&NOW,' ZEROBASEONE will perform a total of 12 shows across seven regions: Bangkok on the 18th, Saitama on the 29th and 30th, Kuala Lumpur on Nov. 8, Singapore on Nov. 15, Taipei on Dec. 6, and Hong Kong from Dec. 19 to 21.
