A fan's shout demanding a member to withdraw from the group has made it into a live broadcast.
On an online forum, discussions erupted over a video snippet capturing a charged moment during ZEROBASEONE's performance at the '31st Hanteo Music Awards.' As the group's first performance drew to a close, a distinct voice is heard through the cheers, shouting: "Withdraw from the group!"
The audience member echoed the demand twice and added: "Please withdraw!"
Adding to the issue, fan-taken footage and accounts during the event reported that physical fights allegedly ensued between the supporters of Kim Ji Woong and those demanding his departure. In one of the said clips, members of ATEEZ were seen alerting the security personnel of the alarming situation.
In the comments section, Korean netizens extended sympathy to the remaining members of ZEROBASEONE, acknowledging that, in any case, the group was a temporary project with their contract set to expire in 2026.
Meanwhile, one comment parodied Wake One Entertainment's recent response to the incident, jesting: "Well, we don't know for sure if it's 'Withdraw from the group,' so why not conduct a forensic analysis, haha."
Below the jest, others joined in the 'parody,' urging the company to scrutinize the audio file as they did with the controversial clip.
"Take this to the forensic analysis!!" "LOL" "Isn't it the staff? lol"
"I heard it's the voice of the staff! Take it to forensics!" "Isn't the person saying 'Get off work quickly!'?" ("Get off work quickly" in Korean sounds similar to "Withdraw from the group")
"It's the sound of the wind" "Another person has edited the sound clip into the video" "Wow~ The fans are just worried about ZB1 and telling them to get off work quickly~" "Isn't it the voice of another group's fan?" "I think Dispatch needs to look into this"
It's not funny. This must be causing ZB1 members, and particularly Kim Ji-woong a lot of distress.

Those idiots aren't fans, they're antis, fans of the group will be supporting them, not wanting them to split! I thought it was just a two year contract from last year, so won't they be finishing in around a year's time? 2025? Was it three years then?
