Controversy erupted over Kim Jiwoong, a member of the group ZEROBASEONE, saying "Fuck" after ending a video call with a fan. However, the agency denied this.
On the 3rd, Wake One Entertainment, the agency, announced its position to Sports Trend, saying, "It is not true, and we have also confirmed this with the staff and interpretation staff at the scene."
"Wake One will use various methods such as digital media forensics to accurately and objectively confirm whether it is true or not, and protect artists," they stressed.
Earlier, a video of Kim Jiwoong's reportedly swearing saying "Shibal" was spread in an online community when the camera was turned off during a video call signing event with a fan. Fans speculated that Kim Jiwoong was swearing without knowing that only the camera was turned off.
ZEROBASEONE, which includes 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.
