Fans Question The “Suspicious Timing” Of WAKEONE’s Sudden Statement Following Kim Jiwoong’s Attitude Controversy

The company did not react when other members were hurt.

ZEROBASEONE‘s Kim Jiwoong recently fell into controversy when a netizen accused him of having a bad attitude during a video call. Allegedly, he said “f*ck” in Korean when he thought the call had ended.

As soon as it went viral, WAKEONE released a statement addressing various crimes committed against the members, such as trespassing in the dorms and obtaining the members’ phone numbers illegally.

WAKEONE Issues Official Statement Regarding Various Crimes Against ZEROBASEONE

The company did not directly name Kim Jiwoong’s controversy, nor did they deny the claims made towards them. At this stage, before investigations are complete, it would be disadvantageous for the company to deny or admit to anything. WAKEONE alluded to the controversy by pledging their utmost effort to uncover the truth.

As such, fans have been questioning the timing of the statement. The company has kept silent about many of the attacks faced by the other members, only to make a statement past office hours, as soon as Kim Jiwoong’s controversy arose.

The company just has to upload a statement now about lawsuits for Park Gunwook’s case. F*cking skilled.

They f*cking kept quiet after receiving all those protest trucks and when Park Gunwook was being targeted, and now they’re suddenly doing this shit, making people want to curse at them. They’re f*cking unskilled, LOL. The workers would’ve felt crummy going to work at 2 am to write this, but it has the opposite effect. I can’t believe such an idiotic company exists in real life.
