Son Hanbin of ZEROBASEONE left a letter for the members before a new departure. Yesterday (15th), a text titled "To. My beloved members like family" was posted on ZEROBASEONE's official channel along with a photo. The published photo contains a picture of Son Hanbin with the members and a letter addressed to them. In the letter, Son Hanbin revealed his feelings as the first chapter of ZEROBASEONE comes to a close, saying, "This time that I thought would never come has arrived for us. Perhaps because of that, this time feels resentful and precious." He expressed, "I have received immense strength from the members both during activities and in daily life. That’s why I always feel gratitude towards them," and added, "Because of these feelings, I had to say some words that might feel a bit painful for the members to hear. However, there was only one reason behind all these words and actions: my desire to protect my beloved members from feeling pain elsewhere. If there were moments when the members felt hurt, I am truly sorry, and I would be happy if you could forgive me with an open heart." Son Hanbin continued, "Even if we walk different paths now, I will always choose to support you from a place close to my heart. So, let’s continue to move forward proudly with the memories we built together. I hope we only experience a little hardship from now on, and that a flower path lies ahead. And when the day comes when the nine of us gather again, let’s embrace each other with smiles just like now." ZEROBASEONE held their encore concert "2026 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR [HERE&NOW] ENCORE" at the KSPO DOME in Songpa, Seoul from March 13 to 15, concluding their 2 years and 6 months of activities. Five members, including Son Hanbin, Kim Jiwoon, Seok Matthew, Kim Taere, and Park Gonuk, will continue activities as ZEROBASEONE, while four members, Jiang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyubin, and Han Yujin, will return to their respective agencies to prepare for new activities.
