Two and a half years ago, nine young men were selected through the Mnet survival program Boys Planet to form ZeroBaseOne. Today, they announced their first world tour. That timeline - debut to global headline act in under three years - is extraordinary by any measure, and it reflects both the group's genuine talent and the structural shift in how new K-pop acts can build international audiences in the streaming era.
The ZB1 GENESIS WORLD TOUR will span 18 cities across Asia, North America, and Europe, with the Seoul leg taking place at KSPO Dome - a venue that holds 15,000 fans and which the group will perform at for two consecutive nights. The North American schedule includes Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York; the European leg adds London, Paris, and Berlin, each city that the group's dedicated fandom, ZEROSE, has been petitioning for since before the group even had a confirmed album.
Han Yujin posted a handwritten letter on the group's official fan platform describing his emotions upon reading the tour dates: "I have been dreaming of this since the day we debuted. I did not think it would happen this quickly. I am grateful and I am terrified and I am so ready." The letter, photographed and shared across social media, accumulated more than six million likes across platforms.
The tour announcement was accompanied by the release of a 90-second documentary short, shot across the group's various home cities, that traces ZeroBaseOne from their Boys Planet origins through their recording sessions and into the present. The short ends with a title card: GENESIS. WORLDWIDE. 2026. The effect, even for casual observers, is galvanising.
ZeroBaseOne's rise has been built on a foundation of extraordinary fan loyalty and a consistent release schedule that has given ZEROSE new material at a pace most groups cannot maintain. Their world tour is not a surprise - it is the logical next step. Start your journey with the ZeroBaseOne quiz.
