The released poster features brilliant blue stars shining within infinite cosmic space, symbolizing the perfect world ZEROBASEONE has created through their journey with ZEROSE (fandom name). The group promises to present vibrant music and performances during this tour, completing their matured artistry on stage. 

This celestial imagery reinforces ZEROBASEONE's commitment to creating an immersive experience that transcends ordinary concert boundaries, offering fans a journey through their evolved musical universe. 

Comprehensive Tour Schedule 

"HERE & NOW" marks ZEROBASEONE's second world tour since their debut, featuring an extensive schedule across seven regions with eleven total performances. The tour will commence in Seoul from October 3-5, followed by Bangkok on October 18, Saitama on October 29-30, Kuala Lumpur on November 8, Singapore on November 15, Taipei on December 6, and concluding in Hong Kong on December 20-21. 

The scale of this tour reflects ZEROBASEONE's status as a "global top-tier" group, with large-scale arena venues planned to accommodate more fans worldwide, generating significant anticipation for their expanded reach. 

Commercial Success and Industry Recognition 

ZEROBASEONE achieved remarkable commercial success with their fifth mini-album "BLUE PARADISE," released in February, securing their fifth consecutive million-seller record. This achievement makes them the first K-pop group to reach million-seller status with five consecutive albums since their debut, establishing an unprecedented industry benchmark. 

The album also marked their historic debut on the US Billboard 200 chart at position 28, setting the highest ranking achieved by any fifth-generation K-pop group. Their sustained presence on Billboard's detailed charts for twelve consecutive weeks demonstrates their "long-run popularity" and growing international appeal. 

Performance Venue and Expectations 

The world tour will officially begin with three consecutive performances at KSPO DOME in Seoul's Songpa District from October 3-5. This venue choice reflects the group's commitment to providing an intimate yet grand experience for their Korean fanbase before expanding internationally. 

Global Impact and Future Prospects 

ZEROBASEONE's second world tour represents significant growth from their previous touring activities, both in scale and geographical reach. The expanded tour schedule across multiple Asian markets demonstrates their increasing popularity and the strong demand for their live performances. 

The group's ability to consistently achieve million-seller status while expanding their global touring presence positions them as key players in the current K-pop landscape, particularly among fifth-generation groups competing for international recognition. 

This tour promises to showcase ZEROBASEONE's artistic evolution while strengthening their connection with the global ZEROSE community across diverse markets and cultural contexts.
