Rookie boy band ZeroBaseOne will hold its first-ever fan concert on Aug. 15 at the Gocheok Sky Dome.

“2023 ZeroBaseOne Fan-Con” is set to be held at the indoor multipurpose dome stadium at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be the boy band’s first concert, coming only a month after its debut album dropped on July 10, and will be the first large-scale event for the boy band to meet its fanbase.

“As the fan concert marks the beginning of ZeroBaseOne and Ze_Rose’s new, splendid adventures […] it will feature live performances and chances for the band to communicate [with fans] closely,” WakeOne, the boy band’s agency said Tuesday.

Ze_Rose is the name of the boy band’s fan club.

VIP tickets will be priced at 143,000 won ($110) and normal tickets will be sold at 99,000 won. Ze_Rose members can purchase their tickets in advance next Monday with an 11,000 won discount. Ticket sales will open to the general public the following day.

The concert will also be live-streamed online with English, Chinese and Japanese subtitles. Multiplex CGV will also live stream the concert in cinemas across the country.

Pricing for the live streams has yet to be announced.

ZeroBaseOne — also known as ZB1 — is a project group formed via cable network Mnet's audition program, "Boys Planet." The group's nine members are Zhang Hao, Sung Han-bin, Seok Matthew, Ricky, Park Gun-wook, Kim Tae-rae, Kim Gyu-vin, Kim Ji-woong and Han Yu-jin.

The boy band’s debut album, “Youth in the Shade,” sold over 1.82 million copies in the first week of its release, making it the highest-selling debut album by a K-pop act in that period.
