ZEROBASEONE’s Manager Heavily Criticized For Assaulting Non Fans
ZEROBASEONE‘s management is facing backlash — but not because of the members. Instead, it’s their manager who has come under fire after a shocking incident at the airport involving non-K-pop fans.
According to fan videos circulating online, a manager from ZEROBASEONE’s team was allegedly seen physically pushing or shoving individuals who were not even fans of the group. These bystanders, believed to be regular travelers at the airport, had been curious about the commotion and tried to get a glimpse of the boys while walking by. They were reportedly yelled at or forcefully moved aside during the group’s arrival.

I was trying to get a glimpse of ZB1 when the manager that was on The Manager came and hit me. Ugh, shouldn’t I be going to the hospital as soon as I reach Osaka?

Clips and photos shared to social media show the manager aggressively clearing the path, with some users claiming that he threatened everyone walking by.

Please change their manager. He was hired to protect the members, but he’s waving his fists at fans instead.

While K-P op airport scenes are often hectic, many pointed out that staff should know how to control crowds without resorting to physical aggression — especially toward uninvolved civilians. As of now, neither ZEROBASEONE’s agency WAKEONE nor the members have released an official statement regarding the situation.
