The global K-pop survival show phenomenon, Mnet's Boys Planet, concluded its epic run, but the story of its top trainees is far from over. As of December 2025, the nine members who debuted as ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) are breaking records, while the eliminated trainees, particularly those who just missed the cut, have forged their own path to success, forming new groups and launching solo careers that continue to dominate the K-pop landscape. This article provides the definitive, most up-to-date breakdown of the final ranking and the current activities of the 18 trainees who made it to the finale, offering a fresh perspective on the true winners of the show.
The final night of Boys Planet on April 20, 2023, was a tense, emotional spectacle that saw a historic first: a non-Korean trainee, Zhang Hao, claim the coveted P01 spot. The resulting group, ZEROBASEONE, quickly became a global powerhouse, but the real intrigue lies in the post-show careers of the near-misses, many of whom have found immediate and significant success, proving that the final ranking is merely the beginning of their journey.
ZEROBASEONE: The Final 9 Members and Their Explosive 2025 Activities
The nine trainees who secured their spot in the final lineup debuted as the temporary project group ZEROBASEONE (ZB1), managed by WAKEONE. Their contract is set for two and a half years, and as of late 2025, they have become one of the most commercially successful fourth-generation groups. Their activities have been non-stop, including multiple comebacks and their first major international tour.
Here is the official Boys Planet Final Ranking and the complete list of ZEROBASEONE members, along with their final points:
- P01: Zhang Hao (G-Group, Fujian, China) - 1,998,154 Points
- P02: Sung Hanbin (K-Group, South Korea) - 1,888,414 Points

- P09: Han Yujin (K-Group, South Korea) - 1,196,622 Points
Current Status (December 2025):
ZEROBASEONE has maintained their 'monster rookie' status well into their second year. Following their successful debut and subsequent comebacks, the group released their fifth mini-album, BLUE PARADISE, in February 2025, cementing their strong position in the K-pop industry. They have also embarked on their first major world tour, showcasing their global popularity. Their project period was even reportedly extended until March, demonstrating their continued high demand.
The Shocking Near-Misses: Ranks 10-18 and Their New Groups
The trainees who ranked P10 through P18 are often referred to as the 'eliminated finalists.' While missing the final group was a crushing blow, their high-ranking status meant they had a massive, dedicated fanbase ready to support their next move. In a fascinating turn of events, many of these trainees have successfully redeployed, with some even forming a highly popular 'byproduct group' that rivals ZB1's initial success.
Here is the list of the eliminated finalists and their current activities:
- P10: Jay Chang (G-Group)
- P11: Park Hanbin (K-Group)
- P12: Keita (G-Group)
- P13: Lee Hoetaek (Hui) (K-Group)
- P14: Kum Junhyeon (K-Group)
- P15: Lee Jeonghyeon (K-Group)
- P16: Yoo Seungeon (K-Group)
- P17: Na Kamden (G-Group)
- P18: Wang Zihao (G-Group)
The Rise of EVNNE: The Boys Planet Byproduct Group
The biggest success story among the eliminated trainees is the formation of the project group EVNNE (pronounced 'Even'), under Jellyfish Entertainment. This group is a direct result of fan demand for the popular trainees who narrowly missed the ZB1 lineup. The members are a collection of high-ranking *Boys Planet* finalists, including Keita (P12), Park Hanbin (P11), Kum Junhyeon (P14), Lee Jeonghyeon (P15), Yoo Seungeon (P16), and Na Kamden (P17).
EVNNE officially debuted on September 19, 2023, and quickly established themselves as a formidable force, proving that the talent pool from the show was too deep for just one group. Keita, who was a member of the group Ciipher prior to the show, took on the role of leader and main rapper in EVNNE. Their debut was met with high sales and significant chart success, allowing fans to continue following the journey of their favorite trainees.
Solo Successes and Returning Idols
Beyond the EVNNE project, two other high-ranking finalists have made significant career moves:
Jay Chang (P10): The American trainee who was the last to be eliminated before the final nine has been highly active. He debuted as a solo artist and also joined the boy group One Pact. Most recently, Jay has been active with the project group B.D.U. (Boy's Debut Universe), showcasing his powerful vocals and versatility across multiple projects.
Lee Hoetaek (Hui) (P13): As the most experienced contestant and the leader of the established group PENTAGON, Hui's journey was unique. After his elimination, he confirmed his return to PENTAGON activities. In 2024, Hui launched his official solo debut, further expanding his already impressive career as a performer and songwriter. His participation in *Boys Planet* brought renewed attention to PENTAGON and cemented his reputation as a top-tier idol.
Why The Boys Planet Ranking Still Matters
The final ranking of P01 to P09 determined the members of ZEROBASEONE, giving them immediate access to a massive platform and global recognition provided by Mnet and WAKEONE. However, the true legacy of *Boys Planet* is in the depth of talent that extended far beyond the final nine. The high rankings achieved by trainees like Keita, Park Hanbin, Jay Chang, and Hui were direct indicators of their fan power, which management companies quickly capitalized on.
The formation of groups like EVNNE, comprised entirely of *Boys Planet* finalists, is a testament to the show's ability to generate multiple viable idol groups, not just one. This dynamic has created an exciting, competitive, and supportive environment in the industry, where trainees who ranked P10-P18 are now sharing the stage with ZB1 at major K-pop events. The final ranking was a starting line, not a finish line, for all 18 finalists, and the ongoing success of both ZB1 and the byproduct groups proves that the future of K-pop is bright and diverse.
The global impact of *Boys Planet* continues to be felt through the continued success of the nine ZEROBASEONE members and the subsequent debut of the talented eliminated trainees. Fans who voted tirelessly can now follow the careers of almost all their favorite finalists, making the show's conclusion a win for the entire K-pop community.
