ZeroBaseOne is officially restructuring as a five-member act, marking a significant new phase in the group’s journey.
On February 12, agency WakeOne confirmed that members Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, and Park Gun-wook will continue promotions together “based on deep trust,” signaling a fresh start for the team.
WakeOne emphasized that it will “provide full support” to ensure the group’s stability and growth, adding that it will maintain close communication so all members can continue developing as partners.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Kyu-bin, and Han Yu-jin—who have completed their project period under the agency—will depart the team to pursue new opportunities. WakeOne expressed its support for their next steps and asked fans to continue encouraging all nine members as they move forward on different paths.
The agency reiterated that although the group’s structure is changing, the “values and identity” built by all nine members will remain at the core of ZEROBASEONE’s legacy. “The musical history created under one name will continue to expand in new ways,” WakeOne stated.
Despite the reorganization, fans will still see the full lineup reunited on stage. As previously announced, all nine members will perform together at the 2026 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR [HERE & NOW] ENCORE, offering a final moment for fans to experience the group as a whole.
WakeOne concluded by thanking ZEROSE for their unwavering support and promised to share detailed plans for the group’s future activities once they are finalized.
