1. When did ZB1 disband?

 

Regarding the date of ZEROBASEONE (ZB1)'s disbandment, the conclusion is that March 2026 will effectively be the end of their activities.

 

ZB1 is a limited-time project group formed from Mnet's audition program "BOYS PLANET," and from the beginning, it was stated that their active period would be two years and six months. As a result, there was a widespread understanding among fans that they would disband in January 2026.

 

However, in January 2026, it was officially announced that the group would be extending their activities by two months, and it was confirmed that they would continue their activities as a complete group until March 2026, including encore performances and special activities on the world tour.

Given this trend, the most accurate answer to the search keyword "ZB1 disbandment date" is **March 2026 (planned)**.

 

 

 

 

2. Why only a two-month extension? What this unusual contract extension means

 

ZB1's contract extension was extremely unusual even in the K-pop industry. While contract renewals are typically extended for six months or for a year or more, ZB1 chose to extend their contract for just two months.

 

The reason behind this was said to be the agreement of all nine members that they wanted to clearly mark the end of the encore performances of the world tour "HERE & NOW," which was already underway, as well as the release of a new album and their relationship with fans.
In other words, it would be natural to interpret this extension not as a "new start," but as time to see the story of the ZB1 group through to the end.

 

Even within the industry, this extension is being seen as a "practical final sprint," and it is seen as highly likely that ZB1's activities will end in March 2026.

 

 

 

 

3. ZB1's activity period in chronological order

Here we will clearly summarize ZB1's period of activity and disbandment date.

 

item	Content
Formation	2023 (BOYS PLANET)
Debut Date	July 10, 2023
Initial contract period	2 years and 6 months
Initial end date of activities	January 2026
Officially announced extension	2 months
Last activity period	March 2026 (planned)

 

As can be seen from this table, the correct understanding based on the latest information is that the ZB1 dissolution date is "March 2026," not "January 2026."

 

 

 

 

4. Current status of Japan expansion | Post-debut strategy and results

 

ZB1 has positioned the Japanese market as a very important base, in addition to Korea.
They will make their official debut in Japan in March 2024, and have been actively releasing original Japanese songs, appearing on music programs, and performing live.

 

What is particularly noteworthy is that they are not simply releasing Japanese versions of Korean songs, but are instead releasing original songs created specifically for the Japanese market. This is a sign of their strategy to carefully attract Japanese fans not as "overseas fans" but as "local fans."

 

The fact that ZB1 continues to operate in Japan even as their disbandment draws near suggests that Japan is a market that they want to cherish until the very end.

 

 

 

 

5. Post-disbandment outlook, focusing on Zhang Hao

 

Zhang Hao, who plays in the center, is said to be the symbolic figure of ZB1.
As the first foreign member to rank number one in BOYS PLANET's history, he has led the group's success as a global presence connecting China, Korea, and Japan.

 

Although there has been no official announcement regarding their plans after the group disbands, it is highly likely that they will pursue international careers, such as solo activities and participating in global projects.

The disbandment of ZB1 is not the end, but rather it will likely be a turning point for each member to move on to the next stage.
