ZEROBASEONE opened the curtain on their first overseas tour in Seoul, which is their first base. On the afternoon of the 22nd, at the KSPO DOME (gymnastics arena) in Songpa District, Seoul, the first overseas tour '2024 ZERObaseONE THE FIRST TOUR [TIMELESS WORLD]' was held. 'TIMELESS WORLD' is their first overseas tour since debut, and amidst attention from fans worldwide, tickets for the three-day Seoul concert sold out immediately upon release, showcasing their presence as 'icons of the 5th generation idols.' The title 'TIMELESS WORLD' signifies a special space connecting ZEROBASEONE and ZEROSE (the name of their fans). Given the overwhelming support from fans worldwide, it implies that the moments of this performance will feel eternal, as if time has stopped. Particularly, having achieved four consecutive million-sellers and a total of 18 trophies including rookie awards, they prepared thoroughly to meet the expectations of ZEROSE. With the final day of the Seoul performance approaching, the members met with reporters to share their thoughts and determination before the concert. First, Zhang Hao expressed, 'This Seoul performance is the beginning of our first overseas tour, so I was nervous. I gained strength from the cheers of fans filling the seats for two days. I think it will be a very happy three days.' Given that this is the first overseas tour, it must be a deeply emotional experience. When asked if there were any special preparations for the stage, Park Gonuk said, 'We have done many fan concerts in Korea, but this is our first concert held under our name, so it is emotional. Like the title of the concert, I hope you feel happiness in the moment inside the venue without being constrained by time, as if in an infinite world.' Song Hanbin introduced highlights, saying, 'We have stood on various stages, but this time we will show songs we haven't performed much. There will also be stages from 'BOYS PLANET,' so please look forward to it.' Han Yujin added, 'Since this concert is something fans have been waiting for, we have created opportunities for close interaction, so please look forward to it.' After a year since their last fan concert, they held a concert under the group's name. The venue was the 'gymnastics arena,' a dream and hope for idol groups. The feeling of starting their first overseas tour here must be special. Kim Taere said, 'First of all, we wanted to hold our concert after a year since the fan concert. I feel honored to have fulfilled that dream with this world tour.' On the same day, they moved from an aerial stage to a circular stage and showcased a full performance. Dressed in black suits with silver accessories, they opened the show with 'ROAD MOVIE,' followed by 'Take My Hand,' 'New Kidz on the Block,' 'Kill The Romeo,' and 'CRUSH.' When asked about their determination to prepare for this performance, Park Gonuk said, 'Since this is the final day of the Korean performance, I want ZEROSE to go home thinking, 'Wow, why is ZEROBASEONE so good?' and feel satisfied.' After changing into the next outfit, the members appeared with a refreshing concept, showcasing their pure and hazy charm with 'In Bloom,' 'Insomnia,' and 'GOOD NIGHT.' Additionally, Zhang Hao passionately sang his solo song 'Always,' released as a benefit for winning first place in 'BOYS PLANET,' highlighting the unique charm of his solo work. Before the stage began, he shouted, 'I love you all,' catching attention. Fans also got to see the members' cute interactions. Starting with Ricky, Kim Gyubin, and Zhang Hao, they showcased their charms to 'save' the happy moments for fans. The beloved songs from 'BOYS PLANET' received a great response. They concluded the memorable stage that marked the beginning of the project group with the much-loved songs 'Say My Name' and 'Here I Am.' When asked about their wish list for the year, Park Gonuk revealed, 'I want to marry ZEROSE,' and when asked how he would propose, he said, 'Will you be my partner? Will you be my wife!' eliciting laughter. Zhang Hao expressed a desire to travel with the members, while Han Yujin made a surprise statement, saying, 'I have something I want to do when I turn 20. I also want to perform 'Over me.' When the members requested an impromptu dance performance, Han Yujin showcased his skills on the spot, receiving cheers from fans. Kim Gyubin expressed gratitude to the members, saying, 'They say the eyes are the windows to the heart, but I really felt the intensity and earnestness during the stage of 'CRUSH,' which was a strong performance, but I could feel the moment of smiles during this concert. All the members have worked hard for a year, and although this is the last concert in Korea, it was a dream for us to perform in front of so many people, so let's end it happily and coolly.' The members united to shout, 'We love ZEROSE. We love ZEROBASEONE,' moving the audience. After completing all the prepared performances, they held an encore stage event to get closer to the fans. Walking through the first and second-floor seats while singing, the fans expressed their joy with even more enthusiastic cheers. After finishing all performances, when asked about their feelings after the Seoul concert, Kim Gyubin said, 'During the concert, I was happy to confirm that I am loved a lot. It was also a time to reflect on whether I deserve such great love. I am truly grateful, and I will do my best overseas, so please look forward to it.' Kim Jiwoon said, 'First of all, my favorite temperature is '23 degrees.' The temperature varies in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but thanks to ZEROSE, the temperature has been 23 degrees throughout the seasons. I will warm the seasons from now on, and I hope ZEROSE will be happier than me.' Seok Matthew expressed, 'I feel it's a waste that time as ZEROBASEONE is passing by, but thanks to ZEROSE, every day is happy. I am grateful and love you all.' Next, Han Yujin said, 'I am happy to sing and dance in front of so many people, and while looking at each person's face, I thought, 'I want to see you for a long time,' and tears flowed. I am very grateful for watching over my growth path.' Zhang Hao reflected, 'Over the past year, I have thought a lot about this. Being an idol is more difficult than I thought. There were many challenges, but because the nine of us are together, we can quickly gain strength. It's because there are so many people who love us that we can continue to work hard. I am truly grateful and always love you.' Song Hanbin expressed, 'First of all, many of you were star creators (viewers of 'BOYS PLANET'). I am grateful to ZEROSE for allowing the nine members I love to stand on this stage. I wondered if I could stand on the stage while watching the seniors, but when I actually stood there, it was very emotional and became an unforgettable memory.' He added, 'There is nothing eternal in life, but I am grateful that there are people who dream of eternity together. I am very thankful to ZEROSE for making this life possible, and I hope the nine members finish the tour healthy.' Kim Taere shared, 'When I stand on stage, I get nervous and feel I must accomplish something, but seeing ZEROSE crying and laughing on a big stage made me think that enjoying together is what the stage is about. Thank you for enjoying the Seoul performance with us today. Will we be able to meet again in the future?' Ricky expressed, 'I am very grateful to be here with you all. The time from preparation to now has passed so quickly. It may seem difficult, but it wasn't at all. I was glad to be able to meet you closely during the encore. I don't want to end it like this for the third time.' Finally, Park Gonuk said, 'I don't know where to start. Thanks to the star creators, I was able to fulfill the dream and profession I vaguely imagined during my trainee days, and I am very happy. However, there are many more things to be careful about and prepare for than I thought, so I often feel my immaturity. It was very hard, but...' He then shed tears, calming himself and saying, 'I'm sorry,' and added, 'But I believe that thanks to ZEROSE, who gave me a lot of strength, I was able to come to this Seoul concert. I love you very much and am very grateful. I truly want you to be with me, not just in words.'
