Part 2 featured stages dedicated to ZEROSE, including the tribute song 'ROSES,' 'GOOD SO BAD,' and 'Feel the POP,' delivering positive energy. The group also performed unit songs 'Out of Love' (Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Kim Gyuvin), 'Step Back' (Ricky, Park Gunwook, Han Yujin), and 'Cruel' (Sung Hanbin, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae), highlighting their diverse charms.

Part 3 showcased ZEROBASEONE's deepened musical spectrum with performances of 'Doctor! Doctor!,' 'Lovesick Game,' and 'Devil Game,' followed by 'MELTING POINT,' 'NOW OR NEVER,' and 'YURA YURA,' where they interacted closely with fans. They also premiered 'LOVEPOCALYPSE,' a song representing the group's identity, receiving enthusiastic responses from fans.

In the final Part 4, ZEROBASEONE delivered emotional moments with 'BLUE,' 'In Bloom,' 'Not Alone,' and 'Running to future,' leaving a lasting impression as the venue was bathed in blue light.

Concluding the encore concert, ZEROBASEONE expressed their gratitude, saying, "We thank ZEROSE for connecting us as one. We could reach this point as ZEROBASEONE thanks to the members and ZEROSE. We will surely repay the love we've received from fans. The brilliant moments we've shared will continue."
