ZB1, Final Practice Scene Ahead of KCON LA 2026 Stage (Practice Process and Conversation)

Behind-the-scenes footage of the group ZB1 conducting practice ahead of the KCON LA 2026 stage has been released. Along with the caption "Today is the last practice day for KCON LA," the video captures the members re-checking the flow of the choreography and their positions before the performance. In the practice room, they first reviewed videos and then proceeded to check the formations and timing for each section.

Practice Re-aligning Formations and Center Positions

The members sequentially checked movements such as stepping back in certain sections, positions for moving into the center, and formations moving to the left. Captions repeatedly show them coordinating formations with phrases like "Backup, backup," "We will do it in the center," and "The center must come in." In some sections, the movement directions of members like Hanbin were mentioned, but due to the auto-generated captions, other names were unclear, making it difficult to definitively identify specific members. Instead, the video shows the process of members matching their entry and exit points to ensure the overall formation remains cohesive.

Feedback regarding the texture of the movements also followed. In one section, an explanation was given that if core strength is lacking during a hanging-like movement, one ends up using the waist too much, while in another part, the timing of eye movements and the motion of rotating hands while moving down were checked. Details were also fine-tuned for parts involving a "walking" feel, parts where the shoulders and legs must move together, and parts where a jump must be continued without breaking. The members repeated the same parts several times to adjust the beat and direction.

Checking Sunglasses Props and Stage Atmosphere

In the latter half, after the sunglasses to be used on stage arrived, they checked the choreography utilizing them. Captions confirm content such as "The sunglasses to use on stage have arrived" and "We should already be holding the sunglasses open." The members shared opinions on how to move while holding the sunglasses open in advance, the feeling of pulling them down or wrapping them down, and the direction of handling them naturally instead of applying excessive force. It was a process of matching even the timing of a single prop to the stage impression.

Conversations close to breaks were also captured during the practice. Scenes included asking if they could eat jelly, talking about ice cream and Americano, and joking about tasting American ice cream before going to LA. Meanwhile, the everyday atmosphere of the practice room was captured, such as mentions of the air conditioner not working well or mistaking the lesson time. Additionally, one member showed props while mentioning the first in-ears from 'In Bloom' and the red in-ears chosen during 'Crush' promotions.

Adjusting to Time Differences and Wrapping Up on the Last Practice Day

At the end of the video, the sense of schedule ahead of KCON LA was revealed. The members expressed that they are trying to adjust to the US time difference, describing the current time as "5 AM in US time difference." There was also tension ahead of the performance, as seen in the comment, "I hope Raman passes safely quickly." There were also impressions that the practice ended earlier than expected, allowing them to go home early.

During the final check, the center and formation changes were verified again. Captions show phrases like "One more challenge" and "From 2 to 1," followed by scenes of members taking photos and re-establishing their positions. Through this behind-the-scenes footage, which includes repetitive practice, prop checks, and conversations about adjusting to time differences, ZB1 conveyed the final stages of their preparation for the KCON LA 2026 stage.
