ZEROBASEONE’s Jiwoong recently revealed an interesting pre-debut story involving Hong Seok Cheon, along with his thoughts on his ideal type.

During a guest appearance on the YouTube show 'Hong Seok Cheon’s Treasure Box,' Jiwoong shared that he first met Hong Seok Cheon about five to six years ago when he was pursuing acting and working as a background actor. 

At that time, Hong Seok Cheon took a photo of him and even told him, “I think we’ll meet again someday.”

Surprisingly, Hong Seok Cheon had also saved Jiwoong’s phone number back then. When he checked his contacts during the show, Jiwoong’s number was still there, confirming their unexpected connection.

Jiwoong also opened up about his ideal type, saying, “I like someone I can learn from—a professional person. Age doesn’t matter; I’m open-minded.”

His fellow ZEROBASEONE member Gyubin added, “I prefer someone I can communicate well with, someone who understands and adjusts through conversation.”

The episode was filled with laughter as Hong Seok Cheon and the hosts reacted enthusiastically to their answers, making for a fun and engaging discussion.
