The assumed origin of Boys Planet's group name, ZB1

 

Zero Base One = ZB1

Wanna One's Go Zero Base and Boys Planet have the same PD🙂

theqoo

-They should've gone with Go One

-They're recycling the nameㅋㅋㅋ It shows how f*cking insincere they are

-They should've gone with Zero One... What the f*ck is ZB1?

-Looks like they didn't put much thought when they created the name...

-It somehow sounds like somewhere in between Wanna One's reality show and TXT's song title

-That is exactly what I thought when I first heard the nameㅋㅋㅋ Just Mnet being Mnet

-I thought they were insincere enough to name X1 based on the show's name, Produce X, and Mnet's favorite word, 'One'. But this sounds even worseㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They really can't move on from Wanna One...

-It doesn't even have any meaningsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Let's just ignore that and call them Zero Oneㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-No wonder why the name sounds really familiar to me...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lee Byunghun, 'I regretted declining the offer to star in Parasite, Old Boy, and Decision to Leave'

 On the 19th, Lee Byung-hun attended a conference at McCaw Hall, Stanford University in California. The conference was titled 'The Future of Hallyu: Korean Cinema on The Global Stage. 

Lee Byung-hun was asked if there was a work that he had received a casting offer for but regretted declining, to which he answered 'Parasite', 'Old Boy', 'Decision to Leave', etc. He revealed that the reason he declined the offer was that he already had other schedules planned (for movies, etc).

In 2009, Lee Byung-hun made his Hollywood debut through 'G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra'. He revealed, "They didn't take my acting skills seriously. They only saw my fan meeting at Tokyo Dome in 2006 which gathered 40,000 audiences. I think they only cast me to expand their movie into the Asian market. However, they acknowledge my acting skills later through my subsequent works."

-Oh... But I think he made the right decision to decline those offers because those movies don't suit him at all.

-Now that I imagine it, he would've suited those movies if he hadn't declined them...

-Was he offered the role of Choi Minsik in Old Boy...? Or Yoo Jitae? I'm curious...

-I think he would've suited Old Boy and Parasite, but not Decision to Leave, though...

-I don't know which role he was offered for in Parasite, but I think he would've suited that movie...

-He must've regretted it... I can't believe he declined Decision to Leave for Emergency Declaration

-I don't think he would've suited Decision to Leave

-He's an amazing actor, I think he would suit any roles he takes...

-That's a relief...

-Lee Byung-hun is an amazing actor, but the final casts are the best casts they could come up with

-Thanks for declining those offers...

-He would've suited Old Boy, though... What a shame...

Kim Jaejoong seems to be mourning for Moonbin in his Instagram story

 

May you be happier in heaven

Moonbin starred in DBSK's Balloons MV in 2006 and appeared on SBS Star King as a child prodigy.

In 2021, Moonbin guested on 'The Neighborhood Young Man' which was hosted by Kim Jaejoong

May he rest in peace

theqoo

-Ah right... I forgot they knew each other

-I still can't believe this... Please tell me it's just a lie...

-I'm tearing up to see his baby pictures...

-Whoa... I still remember that MV...

-Hul... I didn't know that baby was Moonbinㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I've been watching Moonbin since he was young, that's why it breaks my heart to hear him passed away at the age of 25, even though I don't know him personally...ㅠㅠㅠ

-I still can't believe this happenedㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-I don't want to believe that I wouldn't be able to see him again. I have the same birthday as him and Jaejoong. I will celebrate his birthday every year, as if he's still with us...

-This is really upsetting... It must be heartbreaking for Kim Jaejoong as well...

-Bin-ah, I miss youㅠㅠ I love youㅠㅠ

Boys Planet announces their group's name

 

Zero Base One (ZB1)

theqoo

-What the f*ck is ZB1...

-That sounds like the name of a cushion foundation...

-Judging by how they end the name with 'One', this is literally Produce 101 Season 5. That group name sucks...

-Maybe they used Wanna One's Zero Base as a reference...

-...? That sounds like a knock-off of Wanna One

-I feel like they still haven't moved on from Wanna Oneㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What does that even mean? I don't think it suits the group at all...

-Wanna One, X1, ZB1...?

-Whoa... I really doubted my eyes for a second...

-That name doesn't even sound weird to me. It just sounds ridiculousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Please stop putting 'One' into your group's name...

-Why do they like the word 'One' so much...

-My stomach hurts from laughing too hardㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Moonbin: I chose this profession, so I have to face the consequences it comes with

Live broadcast from ten days ago

MB: I wasn't feeling well before, but now I'm okay. Actually, if I have to confess something, it was a bit tough. I was struggling, but I tried not to show it as much as possible. Actually, I think I showed a bit since the fan concert. I'm really sorry.

SH: What are you sorry forㅡㅡ

MB: I'm making an effort to get better, I should start exercising now.

SH: Our Rohas will understand it

MB: I should recover the things I've been missing out on and make our Rohas happy.

SH: It's not your fault, Hyung

MB: I chose this profession, so I have to face the consequences it comes with

SH: We're human too, though? Right?!ㅎㅎㅎ

theqoo

-I didn't know you were having a hard time. I hope you're no longer sick and at peace right now...

-This is so heart-breakingㅠㅠㅠ May he rest in peace... I hope people would stop leaving hate comments.

-I didn't realize that you were going through a hard time. I didn't see this coming at all, since you were always smiling. Bin-ah, I hope you rest in peace and live happily, only for yourself, in that place. Thank you for giving me so much joy and laughter. You've been through a lot.

-I hope he knew that even if it's the profession that he chooses, it's okay for him to admit that he was going through a hard time, that he regrets it, and to show that he was struggling. I'm really sick and tired of people who criticize idols if they show that they were struggling, saying that they shouldn't act like that because they're living an easy life as celebrities. I can't imagine how hard it must be for celebrities. They can't even say that they're struggling. They have to smile in front of fans and cameras regardless of their feelings...

-I'm tearing up now that I see this post...

-I can't imagine how tough it must've been for himㅠㅠㅠ It's heart breakingㅠㅠ

-I'm sorry for not realizing that you were struggling, Bin-ahㅠㅠ

-You silly... I'm not even a fan, but I'm really devastated to hear this. Why did you do that, Moonbin-ah...

-I can see that he was having a hard time hereㅠㅠㅠ I've been living with depression for quite some time, so I know... His expressions, the way he expressed his feelings... Oh Gosh, I hope he's at peace now. He's been through a lot.

What would you do if you could do one good thing as an angel?

 Q: What would you do if you could do one good thing as an angel?

A: I would like to give another chance to those who have ended their lives on their own. To be honest, we don't know when, where, or what will happen, but we don't always think about death as we live. A day is already not enough to think about happy thoughts like what to eat today or what to wear tomorrow. It's too sad and regrettable for someone to end their own life. 

It's from an interview with Cosmopolitan that he did back then

https://www.cosmopolitan.co.kr/article/70922

May he rest in peace

theqoo

-I can't imagine how hard it must've been for himㅠㅠ

-And he eventually became an angel...

-Perhaps that was the message he wanted to say to himself. It could've also been his way to ask for help... It's really sad, my heart aches. May he rest in peace.

-I just read the whole interview and realized that his thoughts were deeper than I expected...

-You've suffered a lot. You've done really well. I hope you're at peace now.

-You're an angel. I hope you no longer suffer now...

-Bin-ah, you have to be happy there, okay? Do anything you want to do. Be at peace.

-What made you suffer like that, Bin-ah...

-I don't know him that well, but if I were an angel, I would give him another chance. Anyway, I hope he's at peace now.

-It has been really tough for you, right? I hope you can rest peacefully now...

-Can someone please give him another chance...?
