Last Saturday, time seemed to pause as ZEROBASEONE, composed of Sung Han Bin, Kim Ji Woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Vin, Park Gun Wook, and Han Yu Jin, commanded the stage at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Their performance, blending raw talent and irresistible charisma, turned the venue into a moment suspended in awe—an experience that felt both timeless and unforgettable.
Before all that, as we arrived outside the venue, we were instantly welcomed by a vibrant scene—stunning and fashionable ZEROSES dressed in blue and white, eagerly fan support items like banners, photocards, and other collectibles.
Our journey with ZEROBASEONE began at the historic Asia Artist Awards 2023 at the Philippine Arena, where their potential was already shining through. Now, they’ve returned to the Philippines for their highly anticipated first solo concert—this time with Ricky joining them!
As soon as they appeared on stage, the venue was filled with loud cheers from their fans. ZEROBASEONE started off strong as they performed ‘Solar POWER’ from their 2024 album You Had Me at Hello,’Road Movie,’ ‘Take My Hand,’ ‘New Kidz on the Block,’ “Kill the Romeo,’ and ‘Crush.
Moving forward, ZEROBASEONE’s Ji Woong, Matthew, Ricky, and Gun Wook took the stage to perform ‘Over Me,’ while Taerae, Yujin, Gyuvin, and Hanbin showcased ‘Switch.’ Zhang Hao then thrilled the audience with his solo song ‘Always.’
ZEROBASEONE, was formed through the survival show Boys Planet, truly knows how to connect with their fans. During their performance, they brought energy and excitement as they sang fan-favorite tracks like ‘En Garde,’ ‘Say My Name,’ and ‘Here I Am.’
As the concert progressed, the heat in the venue intensified despite the air conditioning running at full blast, as ZEROBASEONE took the stage to perform their sultry hits like ‘Dear ECLIPSE’ and ‘Hot Summer.’
As the concert neared its end, ZEROBASEONE brought the energy up with lively performances of songs like ‘Sweat,’ ‘Kidz Zone,’ and ‘Feel the Pop.’ They also treated us to their latest hit, ‘Good So Bad,’ which has quickly become a personal favorite! The boys repeated the catchy chorus multiple times, and each time they sang it, the crowd erupted in excitement. Honestly, ‘Good So Bad’ was such a highlight of the night—it’s hard not to say it was the best song in the setlist for all of us!
Our second favorite moment came when the members performed a cover of the Filipino song ‘Dilaw,’ originally by Maki. We truly appreciate their effort in learning a song from our culture—it made the concert even more special for us.
To wrap up the evening, ZEROBASEONE delivered an encore that included ‘YURA YURA,’ ‘And I,’ ‘Sunday RIDE,’ and ‘Hello.’
