Originally set for a two-and-a-half-year promotion period, the group recently extended activities briefly, with full-group promotions now wrapping up in March. </p><p>Adding to the buzz, reports also indicate that the group may return in May as a five-member group. If both groups move forward with promotions around the same time, it will mark a rare moment in K-pop where former groupmates promote simultaneously in the same time. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-16" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWBytiwCT7W/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A16%2C%22os%22%3A11469421.800000072%2C%22ls%22%3A99504.80000007153%2C%22le%22%3A99507.90000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="591" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-16" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE marked their last performance as a whole with their encore concert, <em>2026 ZEROBASEONE World Tour HERE&amp;NOW</em>, held at the KSPO Dome in Seoul on March 15.  </p><p>The group previously visited the Philippines in 2023 for the Asia Artist Awards.
