Fan who was on a video call with ZEROBASEONE's Kim Ji Woong steps up to defend herself

AKP STAFF

Following Wake One Entertainment's statement surrounding ZEROBASEONE member Kim Ji Woong's use of profanity, the fan who called him out stepped up to defend herself. 

On February 3rd, member Kim Ji Woong was accused of using profanity after immediately wrapping up a fan call. The fan who was on the said call with the member took to social media to expose the idol, which went viral online. 

Later on this day, Wake One Entertainment released a statement denying the allegation. In response to the backlash following the official statement, the fan stepped up to defend herself.  

She wrote, "Hello, I'm additionally writing because many attacked my character based on groundless speculations.

Following my post of the fan call, I don't understand why the agency decided to post an official statement regarding taking legal action against sasaengs who trespassed and people spreading false rumors...I am not a sasaeng who trespassed, nor a person who contacted a member spreading rumors...As soon as the statement got out, people suddenly started attacking me saying I'm those people so I deserved to get sworn out because I'm a sasaeng, which is absolutely not true. 

People are saying I was a mean sasaeng, or I was ugly, or I talked about a gay drama so he swore me out. These are absolutely not true. I am just a fan who really liked Kim Ji Woong.. 

I rewatched the recording over and over thinking I must have misheard. And then I watched a few more times to check if I made him uncomfortable or said something offensive. But I couldn't figure out why he did and I am utterly heartbroken. 


I also read the official statement this morning denying the allegation based on the staff and the member himself's testimonies. This fan call event was held a week ago, and how could you release an official statement relying on their memories although I have video proof.   

I am upset and sad that the company is alluding to an individual like me as a rumor-spreader and that everything is my fault. Please stop spreading rumors about me saying I'm a sasaeng, I talked about a gay drama, or I looked ugly. 


Thank you for reading a lengthy statement."
