On February 12, 2026, ZEROBASEONE announced through their agency, WakeOne, that they will continue as a five-member group. Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, and Park Gun-wook have decided to embark on a new season together based on deep trust. Meanwhile, Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyu-vin, and Han Yu-jin have terminated their project contracts to prepare for individual activities. The agency expressed support for their future paths and requested fans to continue their encouragement. Formed through Mnet's audition program 'Boys Planet' in 2023, ZEROBASEONE debuted as a nine-member project group and quickly rose to fame, achieving six consecutive million-selling albums. Initially launched as a two-and-a-half-year project, the group agreed in December 2025 to extend activities by two months, planning a February album release and an encore concert in Seoul in March 2026. This decision has left fans with mixed emotions, but the group is expected to open a new chapter as a five-member act. ()
