ZEROBASEONE's Kim Ji Woong Refutes Allegations Of Profanity In Video Call Fan Signing Event
ZEROBASEONE's Kim Ji Woong has refuted the accusation of using profanity during a video call fan signing event.
On February 2, an unidentified individual shared a video that seemingly depicted a screen recording of a fan call with Kim Ji Woong . Towards the conclusion of the call, just after Kim Ji Woong bids farewell to the fan, audible profanity in Korean can be discerned.
The person posted on X (formerly Twitter), questioning, “Do you usually say [expletive] as a goodbye when ending a phone call with a fan? I don’t know, so I’m curious about the opinion of ZEROSE [ZEROBASEONE’s fandom].”
Shortly after, the person shared another video, seemingly capturing the start of the call, along with the comment, “As soon as the [call] started, he sighed and acted like he looks down on fans. Why should the fan pay tons of money and then have to walk on eggshells during the conversation..? I didn’t say anything weird or ask him to do a strange challenge, and it wasn’t my fault. It was 100 percent Kim Ji Woong’s fault, and there was no cause [for him to act like this]. I think I was probably just unlucky.. I’m upset.”
The next day, WAKEONE Entertainment addressed the issue, stating, “After checking with [Kim Ji Woong] himself, [the claim] is not true. We also checked with the employee and translator that were present at the scene.”
The agency further asserted, “For the sake of objective accuracy, WAKEONE will very clearly and definitively ascertain the truth by using various methods including digital media forensics, and we will protect our artist.”
