    >We highly value ZEROBASEONE’s potential and possibility for growth. We have continuously been discussing with each member’s agency since the beginning of this year regarding the possibility of extending the project group activity period.


    **[English translation summary cr. Korean Updates:](https://xcancel.com/koreanupdates/status/1955084929953391064?s=46)**

    >Acc. to industry insiders, some agencies and members of ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) have agreed to extend their contract. They will reportedly make official announcement soon. The Boys Planet group is supposed to end their contract on 10 Jan ’26.

  2. Hoping it’s true! But I never get my hopes about these rumors until they’re official tbh

  3. it’s giving kep1er. 😭if all these news outlets drip feed us conflicting information and rumour I’m going to scream!

  4. As a long-time Kep1er and fromis_9 fan, I wish all the Zeroses out there good luck 🧡

  5. Honestly it would be ludicrous not to continue ZB1 because too many survival show groups struggle so much after disbandment. I suspect the non Yuehua members to be definitely staying.

    I am guessing that the only confirmed ones would be Taerae since he’s with W1 and Gunwook bc jellyfish will continue with EVNNE so I doubt they have anything prepared for him. The ones who probably don’t want to are Yuehua and if I have to say one more, I am guessing that THE L1VE.

    THE DREAM’S ALIVE YALL! THEY AINT GONE YET! I have a feeling however that I know who’s the “some” company who may not be on board with this…

    I’m actually extremely surprised by this! I figured if they couldn’t get Yuehua on board (which was never going to happen anyways) then they wouldn’t continue as that’s almost half the group gone. I thought Yuehua might even buy out some of the more popular members contracts before something like this could happen but clearly not!

    So if every other member continues that’s Jiwoong, Hanbin, Matthew, Taerae & Gunwook! A pretty damn strong lineup if I say so myself. They’ve got their leader, multiple main vocals, the groups main rappers and great dancers (and ofc visuals but no matter the combination of members they would’ve had that-).

    Assuming the other 4 members debut together then this is honestly the best outcome possible? Time to stan two groups instead of one assuming this report is legit!

    It’s interesting how Mnet survival show groups extending their contracts seems to be a real possibility these days (even if they do lose a couple members). I think some agencies of the IZ*ONE members were open to a contract extension but they still ended up disbanding anyways.

  10. Damn! Tbh I don’t love their music but I do really like the members and their bond so I’ve been dreading their disbandment nonetheless. As a wizone I’m trying not to get my hopes up since this is just a rumour and the izone extension project fell through 😭 but it would be great if they could at least pull a fromis_9 and continue with 5/9 of their members assuming it’s the yuehuaz that won’t be continuing. Kep1er did set the precedent for project groups extending so I’m cautiously optimistic about this

  11. This is surprising! I guess my only concerns or questions would be:

    – Most likely Yuehua would be less likely to renew there contracts since they probably want to debut there own boy group

    – Jellyfish is a questionable. They have EVNNE but since some of the members are also from Yuehua they’ll probably be pulled out also. So that will leave 4 members.

    – Some of the remaining EVNNE members are under Wakeone so does that mean Jellyfish will keep them and make a new group with Gunwook? Or will they give Wakeone their idols back and make a new group with Jellyfish trainees and Gunwook?

    – If Jellyfish takes back Gunwook then that means the only members remaining would be Jiwoong, Matthew, Hanbin and Taerae.

    – But isn’t Jiwoong due to enlist soon? So that would just leave 3 members?

  12. not even considering yuehua not agreeing, i will be very unsurprised if ricky doesnt renew his contract, and understandably so…

  13. Usually members from groups like this never reach the same amount of success in their new groups… it’d be crazy for them not to want to continue.

  14. AfraidInspection2894 on

    This is surprising! I figured since all the members of ZB1 are fairly popular their agencies would want them back to start groups. I have a feeling that it is the non-Yuehua members who have agreed to extend their contract, since all of them come from small companies.

  15. Doesn’t Jiwoong need to enlist soon? And I can’t imagine Hanbins company isn’t preparing something for him

    Ofc he’d like to continue with the group but as a casual follower it looks to me like they’re setting him up to be the next Kang Daniel

  16. I’ve seen this with Izone and Kep1er so I’m not sure what to think and feel until more news comes out.

  17. i don’t stan zb1 but i’d love to see them keep going together, they work so well and they’re so nice
