"Thank you for shining a brilliant light on the beginning of Zerobase One." (ZB1)

In April of the past year, Zerobase One was born. After a 12-week journey, the group of nine became one team. Through intense times, the members opened the door to the 5th generation of K-pop. 

And now, in just 37 days, Zerobase One stood at the Gochuk Sky Dome. A swift entry it was. Within just about a month after their debut, they filled the venue with 18,000 fans.

"We came from Tokyo for today. We watched 'Boys Planet' and became fans. We like their hard work." (Chami / Tokyo)

"ZB1 is perfect in both skill and visuals. Wherever Zerobase One goes, we want to support and be with them!" (Chel / Tokyo)

Fans from all around the world gathered. They witnessed the splendid start of Zerobase One. For about 150 minutes, they lit up the night in Seoul with passionate cheers and group singing. 

On the 15th, Zerobase One held their first fan concert at Guro Sky Dome in Seoul. They created special memories with their "Ze_Rose" (fandom name).

◆ 0: Brilliant Beginnings

Even before the performance started, the Gochuk Dome was overwhelmed by Ze_Rose. They came not only from South Korea but also from various countries like the United States, Japan, and China. Every floor, from the floor to the third level, was filled to capacity.

Ze_Rose welcomed the members with overwhelming cheers. Zerobase One, too, opened the door with a heartfelt song. For their first song, they chose "Back to Zerobase" from their debut album 'Youth in the Shade'. 

It's a song that captures the emotions of the moment when dreams turn into reality. At this moment when dreams come true, the members stood side by side, softly singing the lyrics with trembling voices. They took turns gazing at the fans.

Kim Jiwoong said, "This is the stage I've been dreaming of since I was young. It's truly happiness to have only the people I love gathered here." He shouted enthusiastically, "Let's have a brilliant start together!"

Zerobase One kicked off their performance with 'New Kids on the Block', bringing forth a powerful live performance filled with addictive melodies. They ignited the energy of the performance with their dynamic stage presence.

◆ 1: We Are One

With just one album, a chorus erupted in every track. From the competition songs sung on Mnet's 'Boys Planet' to the tracks on their debut album, Gochuk Dome sang as one. 

Zerobase One did the same. They showcased stable live performances that made it hard to believe they had only debuted a month ago. They skillfully guided the audience's reactions.

They also prepared special songs that could only be seen at this fan concert. One of them was 'And I'. They introduced a new choreography that matched the funky mood and came closer to the audience by performing on a protruding stage.

The signal song from 'Boys Planet', 'Here I Am, was also part of the concert. They confidently fulfilled their earnest proclamation of becoming the hero shining on stage even before their debut. The fans' cheers exploded even more.

They followed up with successive performances of 'Boys Planet' competition songs. They unveiled the 9-member version of 'Jelly Pop' for the first time. Wearing jackets with silver shoulder pads, the members delivered an intense performance. Through solo dances, they radiated the unique charms of all nine members.

◆ In Bloom

There were special events as well. Zerobase One showed off their charms in a corner called 'Blooming'. With attributes like gentle charm, transformational charm, cute charm, emotional charm, and heart-fluttering charm, they captured the hearts of fans according to their unique qualities. 

They shook fans' hearts with events like photo booth event, sweet role-playing scenarios, proposals, and three stages of cuteness. Every time the members' expressions of affection were caught on the screen, screams erupted.

They also shared memorable moments together. Zhang Hao said, "The memory of our first music show appearance is the one that stands out the most. I couldn't hold back tears hearing the support from Ze_Rose." He added, "Please cheer for us one more time."

Gochuk Dome once again united to chant their cheers. The final song was the title track of their debut album, 'In Bloom'. ZB1 delivered an unstoppable performance until the very end.

"Even when I go home, I don't think I'll forget this feeling. Hearing your cheers warms my heart. It's a moment when I'm reminded of why I wanted to become a singer." (Gunwook)

◆ Radiant Shine

Ze_Rose carried the passionate energy from the beginning of the performance to the very end. They filled the Gochuk Dome with cheers of "Encore." The members returned, saying, "We came back because we missed you." 

The encore song was 'Our Season.' With all nine members, they sang about Zerobase One's dreams and friendship. The members approached the audience, capturing each Ze_Rose in their eyes. 

Zerobase One couldn't hide their regret. They repeated the chorus endlessly, pouring their hearts into the song:

"Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall / Beyond the seasons, Our Season / More than any season, / Our Stories will shine brightly."

They also prepared a special video. Throughout their schedule, they took pictures with a film camera for their fans. The members took pictures of each other and captured special moments as gifts for Ze_Rose.

"Thanks to Ze_Rose, we became one team and were able to stand on this stage today. I hope it becomes a moment that I'll never forget for a lifetime. And we promise to come back with such unforgettable performances in the future!" (ZB1)

Next, here are the feelings Zerobase One shared with Ze_Rose:

"To everyone who came from around the world, thank you. I hope this performance becomes a moment you want to experience again and will never forget. We'll continue to show you such performances in the future!" (Kim Gyuvin)

"I still can't believe it. You all are like precious treasures to me. I'll love Ze_Rose even more and work harder to repay you. Thank you so much for coming today!" (Kim Jiwoong)

"Thank you for coming all the way here in the heat. I didn't expect to fill Gochuk Dome like this. You're so lovable. I'll work even harder and run towards your hearts. I love you~" (Seok Matthew)

"Dear Ze_Rose, and also to the moms, dads, and siblings who came to support today, thank you. Our performances will continue on. I love you all." (Han Yujin)
