A controversy broke out over KIM JI WOONG, a member of the group ZEROBASEONE, who allegedly used offensive language during a video call with a fan. However, the agency denied this information.
On February 3, Wake One, the group’s agency, announced its position, stating: “Following these claims, which we believe are false, we have also questioned the on-site staff and the interpreter.”
“Wake One will use various methods such as digital media forensics to accurately and objectively confirm whether this is true or not, and protect artists,” she stressed.
Earlier, a video of KIM JI WOONG‘s exchange was released to the online community, when the camera was turned off during a video call event with a fan. Fans assumed that KIM JI WOONG was swearing without knowing that only the camera was off.
ZEROBASEONE, which features KIM JI WOONG, will hold its first fan concert “2024 Zero Base One Fan-CON IN JAPAN” in Yokohama, K-Arena, Japan, for two days from the 23rd to the 24th of next month.
