We, Woongdongies and Zeroses, are deeply concerned about the ongoing mistreatment of Kim Ji Woong by WakeOne Company.

Kim Jiwoong has endured troubling mistreatment from WakeOne Company, leaving him feeling sidelined and unsupported. With minimal solo and unit activities, his opportunities to shine as an artist have been severely limited. On social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X, his presence has become irregular, making it difficult for him to connect with the fans who care about him. To make matters worse, the promotional activities for ZB1 have been lacking, further diminishing his visibility. Most distressingly, WakeOne has failed to take legal action against the malicious comments and death threats he has received, highlighting a concerning neglect of his safety and well-being. In a world where artists deserve protection and support, Jiwoong’s situation serves as a painful reminder of the challenges many face behind the scenes.

Kim Ji Woong is not only a talented artist but also a vital asset to Zerobaseone, serving as one of the primary stan attractors to the group. His unique charm and captivating performances have significantly contributed to the group's popularity, drawing in a diverse fanbase and enhancing their overall image. By sidelining him, WakeOne Company risks undermining the very foundation of Zerobaseone's success, neglecting the influence and appeal that Ji Woong brings to the table.

We urge WakeOne Company to recognize Ji Woong’s valuable contributions and to prioritize his development as an artist. It is essential that he is given opportunities to shine both as a solo performer and as a member of Zerobaseone. We call on the company to provide him with the support and resources he deserves, ensuring that he can continue to inspire fans and contribute positively to the music industry.
