ZEROBASEONE was formed by the reality survival program Boys Planet, which aired on local cable network Mnet back in July 2023. Since the debut of the show, the nine-member team rapidly gained popularity, achieving six straight albums that each surpassed one million sales in South Korea alone, achieving viral success in the process.
Though the group’s operations were initially planned as a two-and-a-half-year project (with the conclusion of their activities set for January 2026), all nine members had decided to extend their run as a group by two months to accommodate a three-day encore concert in Seoul from March 13 to 15, 2026. Most recently, they dropped their single-album, titled RE: FLOW, which features the tracks “Running To The Future” and “ROSES.”
As we anticipate what lies ahead for ZEROBASEONE’s five-member lineup, listen to their newly released single album RE: FLOW below:
