ZB1 Kim Jiwoong's statement

 

You've waited for so long, right? My heart has been heavy all this time. 

Thank you for always being on my side without any conditions and believing in me, ZEROSE. I'm sorry for making you worry. 

Perhaps, I didn't bear it alone, but you also must have had difficult days feeling sad along with me. It didn't make my heart any lighter knowing that. 

It might feel like it's been too long, but even now, I'm grateful that I can say this. Just like always, I'll do my best to make ZEROSE smile and be happy. Thank you so much, and I love you.

-Wow... Is this for real?

-So, you're saying you didn't say those things yourself?

-Unbelievable... What did I just read? Seriously, give proper refunds.

-What is this? So you're saying it wasn't you who said it?

-ㅋㅋ This is comedy, seriously, it's hilarious.

-There's absolutely no substance in this post, whether it's an apology, an explanation, or a denial, can't you write something truthful?

-Not gonna lie, I got chills down my spine from reading this

-If he didn't do it, why not just say he didn't do it and clarify the misunderstanding? Even if it's unfair, it seems like he should at least deny it if it's not true. But it's not a denial, it's not even an apology or an admission, it's just a post telling us to interpret it however we want...

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He didn't say he didn't do it. It seems like he's saying, "It wasn't directly to you, don't leave me."

-Wow, I thought it was an apology letter... He just doesn't want to apologize, amazing. I've seen many problematic idols, but this one seems to be the first of its kind.

-What's this? Is he saying he did it or not?... It's so ambiguous.

-At this point, leaving seems to be the smartest move...

-I'll remember this.

-I feel so sorry for the fans...

Controversial beauty pageant winner

 

Brian Nguyen becomes the first transgender winner in the 100-year history of Miss America.

According to the competition's website, a scholarship of about ten million won is awarded to the winner of the beauty pageant, which has been held in the United States since 1987.

The scholarship is described as providing opportunities to "women" aged 17 to 24 who excel in various fields such as academic aptitude, talent, personality, and community service, according to the competition's website.

-Insane world

-Shouldn't there be a separate transgender beauty pageant?

-This guy isn't even making the minimum effort ㅋ

-Isn't this a bit too much...

-Why always taking away opportunities from women...?

-Maybe this is also why women are losing their place in sports?

-In the end, women are losing their place...

-Trans people should have their own pageant ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I don't know about anything else, but who's going to acknowledge the people who missed out on the ten million won scholarship because of her?

-If she wasn't trans, would she has been chosen? They took away the title and scholarship from the women and gave it to her.

-They're just busy taking away everything from women and giving it to trans.

-The world has gone crazy.

-Damn, trans taking everything from womenㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm really confused.

-Is this kind of award mocking women?

Zero Base One's Statement Regarding the Kim Jiwoong Controversy

 

Hello, this is Wake One.

We recently commissioned a specialized emotional analysis through the law firm Sejong regarding a video circulated on online communities and social media on the 5th. Here are the results:

After analyzing the speech characteristics of the voices in the video, it was determined that one voice said "Thank you" while the other contained profanity.

Further analysis of the frequency response waveforms showed that the discerned pitch and height were different, indicating that the two voices belonged to different speakers.

Taking into account the overall sentiment that the video was recorded using another recording device in an external location rather than a video calling device, it is possible that the profane voice was recorded externally. This serves as evidence that the profane voice may not belong to the artist.

Despite various testimonies of trust in the artist, we apologize for the delay in providing accurate evidence through additional specialized analysis. We ask for your understanding.

We assure you that we will continue to protect the artist from harm based on facts and will make every effort to ensure that fans of the artist are not further harmed.

We will do our best to promote a healthy and mature K-pop culture.

Thank you.

-Why prolong the issue instead of just apologizing and ending it? Spending money and still getting criticized and criticized, what's the point? Only the fans seem pitiful.

-The more they try to response this matter, the worse it gets.

-Why complicate things so much... At this rate, it seems like the agency wants to stir up trouble.

-They can't even offer the most basic apology, what are they saying?

-The image is already ruined, what now? No one believes... If they had apologized to the fan first, it wouldn't have reached this point.

-Does that mean the fans did it on purpose? If so, shouldn't they sue to find out?

-It's not the staff, but the swearing was said by a different speaker according to the voice analysis results, and it seems like the voice was recorded with another device instead of directly recording with a phone on speaker. It seems like it's the voice from the fans' side, so they may not feel the need to apologize.

-Just apologize...

-They won't even say a word of apology to the fan who received all the backlash.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow.

-They're digging their own grave, seriously.

-There's still no apology to the end, it's really unbelievable how they see the fans.

-Either they have no clue how to run a company, or they only see fans as a source of money, not as people.

-Are they crazy? Regardless of who said it, the fan paid $500 and ended up being insulted, and now they're saying that someone prepared a recording in advance and played it at the right moment when the fan called?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is the company in their right mind?

-No, they should've just apologized, blaming it on the staff's voice. Who in their right mind would spend money on a fan signing only to curse and swear?;; It would've been better if they had just stayed quiet, why stir up trouble and create dissatisfaction?

-Damn incompetent at handling things.

ICHILLIN's Joonie

-1st, 3rd, and 4th place are all RIIZE's members

-There are a lot of RIIZE's articles these days, congrats

-RIIZE is within the top 11

-What's up with the same name appearing twice?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This chart still exists?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even if people say they ignore it or whatever, many still pay attention to it.. Just enjoy it for fun, we all know those who are mentioned here are indeed popular, anyway.

-Are they still doing this..? Until when will Park Jihoon be known as 'Wanna One's Park Jihoon'?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If their idol is going up, they'll like it, but if their idol isn't there, they say it's not credible...

-Whether it's credible or not, congrats to Wonbinㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even my mom feels proud as if Anton is her own child after watching him on You Quiz on The Block...
