So both Wanna One and X1 had their debut showcases at Gocheok Dome. It's one of SK's largest domes with a capacity of 20,000+.
Currently, only a handful of idol groups have had concerts/fanmeetings there - EXO, BTS, Big Bang, Sechs Kies, NCT 127, and ofc Wanna One and X1. NCT Dream was also scheduled to perform there before they had to cancel due to COVID.
Will ZB1 continue the Produce boy groups' tradition with a Gocheok performance?
Pros:
- Over 60k people applied to watch the live finale at Jamsil Stadium.
- The BP finale was broadcast on CGV screens in Seoul and all tickets were sold out in under 2 minutes.
- ZB1 have a huge Japanese fanbase (all their KCON Japan photocards are selling for minimum $100 with popular members like Hao, Jiwoong, Gunwook going for almost $300). Japanese fans can easily make the trip to Korea to fill up the venue.
- Their Korean fanbase also seems to be big
Cons:
- BP's popularity is not as big as the Produce seasons
