other rookie bgs: 20+ minutes of award show footage, separate videos per schedule
zb1: stuck with a company that cares more about milking fans’ money for photocards than giving them not half-assed content
i think a wakeone-yuehua co-management arrangement is something we can’t count out 😦 everyone says having 4 yuehuaz is a guarantee for them to return but this is the first time a korean survival show group was composed of that many trainees from a single company +
as someone who voted for jiwoong for the entire show and worried about w1’s potential mistreatment against him because of mnet’s BS can i just say i’m so happy about the opportunities he’s getting? gucci, nolto, good song parts, and now a solo show? he deserves everything & more
so frieze is an art fair omg art student ricky and panicrose jiwoong must've been having the time of their lives (please tell me if hanbin's ever dabbled in visual arts too)
i barely get to talk about it but minamz’s friendship is so hilarious to me ricky went from admiring jiwoong from afar to making fun of him unprovoked and jiwoong just lets him like the good hyung he is 😭😭😭 6-year age gap nowhere to be found
gyuvin and jiwoong have been close since bp days but they’ve somehow grown closer post-debut gah my gwajaz my favorite people ever in the history of forever never leave each other’s sights…
about to get emotional over a silly tiktok jiwoong who “doesn’t do trendy things” does a tiktok trend with his yujinie… yujin shoving jiwoong so naturally like they’re just the same age… i need to make sure sambokz stay together idk how but they will
woah woah woah jiwoong, hanbin, and ricky attended the same event that taehyung, newjeans minji and hanni, jisoo, cl, and more super huge celebrities did? girl networks better be getting BUILT
if yh sees zb1 as lucrative for the long term it could be more beneficial for them to bid for co-management than to redebut the boys with a new group because they can have significant control over the group and reap their benefits while only doing half the work
also the rise in big china gigs for some members is definitely something wakeone can’t be pulling off on their own so i’m feeling it’s likely that yh plays some part in managing and ensuring the execution bc they’ve always been stronger in china. maybe they’re testing the waters?
jiwoong getting gyuvin a bottle of non-alcoholic wine is so endearing to me like wine is a sign of maturity and all but getting a non-alcoholic variant when gyuvin’s talked about hating drinking is just so sweet and lets gyuvin grow at his own pace i love gwajaz forever
one day we’ll talk about how idols who don’t act like fanservice bots are overly demonized because the main reason this smear campaign took off is that too many people secretly believe jw’s fake/hates his fans just because he doesn’t meet their standards of social media activity
tbh at one point… hopefully by the end of this week… people will realize that everyone’s overreacting over a 3-second clip and the targeted hate campaigns will just look more and more stupid 😭 because why are you wasting millions of won just because a guy said fuck
working that hard for quality education despite the odds stacked against him :( then giving that up to pursue idolhood, signing with an agency that even takes family background into consideration, and participating on a show under a network that’s always hated his people :(
gyuvin is seriously one of the most passionate and hard-working people i’ve seen baby please don’t reduce your successes to just chance or luck we know how much you’ve wanted this and you deserve more and more love and success every day
gyuvin collecting power ranger underwear in his elementary school years vs ricky buying supreme underwear at present girl what is wrong with shimkongz 😭
it makes me so sick how this isn’t the first and likely not the last time a member’s missed out on a huge exposure opportunity because wakeone wants to waste everyone’s time on fansigns that only serve as an avenue for creeps to project their fantasies onto the members
breaking 50k+ likes for two posts in less than a week when the average engagement for _💌 posts is in the 30k-40k range oh jiwoong you will always be famous
before solos/akgaes qrt me with despair and curses or delulus get their hopes up this is neither a positive nor negative thread i’m just trying to make sense of info in a neutral way
if jw doesn’t give a fuck about the viral hate tweets in a language he completely understands why should we care when we need a translator to even get the bullshit they’re spewing
soooo this group was being blackmailed, stalked into their own dorms, and having their personal information leaked but people thought it was a good idea to laugh at the same trolls enabling their bullshit just because it wasn’t their bias being publicly targeted 😂
throwing my hat into streaming discourse: we don’t need to be the 2nd coming of bp/bts but it’s quite concerning that we can’t hit 1m in 24 hours when standard k-pop mv goals are at least 5m in 24 hours. zb1’s the most anticipated 2023 debut ofc expectations are higher
this is gaining traction too fast and i’m at risk of leaving my little bubble so let it be known that i’m neither strongly for nor against this arrangement lol and i know as much as the next person does don’t shoot the messenger and just take things normally 😪
what’s the obsession w calling jiwoong old your faves are literally just 1-2 years younger 😭 just bitter and wrong plus the pann(choa) posts had top comments asking who the handsome guy behind was let’s do better!
i respect jiwoong’s ability to completely fly under the radar when zb1 is on vacation like no sightings of him anywhere outside work when they’re not promoting… that is a man who values his peace and privacy.
tbh sorry if this is a hard pill to swallow but jiwoong is a senior idol in a group of rookies whose first idol experience is zb1. no one would complain this much about his “lack of presence” if his groupmates didn’t message/go on live daily.
jiwoong listens so well to his fans omfg i still remember boys planet days when he went for smn because he knew his fans wanted a cute concept and wore his hair down because fans told him to and now he’s doing a lot of tiktok challenges my genius idol 😭🫂
not to sound like a solo but can y’all let jiwoong have his 5 minutes in the spotlight before asking which member will make an instagram next like fave has had 2 jobs this year please let him have a third are you crazy
people act like he’s getting sent to the barracks once that group disbands like he isn’t born on the last month of 1998 😭 he’ll have the entire 2026 to himself & a good chunk of 2027 too plus i never see this much discourse on service for 98 liners so i think y’all just hate him
Now now why are some ot9 zeroses on tl bringing up jw's military and other issues when he is currently going viral for all the good reasons that there could be? And yet instead of praising him, they are already "concerned" for his future instead... I just find it interesting~ ^^
not sure if this is a hot take but i think ot8s are worse than solos/akgaes. at least with the latter you already expect them to only care about their faves but there’s something so evil about supposedly liking everyone else and excluding or hating just one person of the group
if you can make the boys take 50 selfies each per era you can give us 30 minutes of content that’s actually well-thought out you do not have enough time to be treating a temporary group this shitty especially when they’re successful & could be even bigger
@zb1staff
@ZB1_official
antis have tried everything to bring jiwoong down and put harm in his way and the way he comes back is by showing everyone how he’s not affected by their shit and is grateful for all the love he receives. if i were an anti i’d be mad as fuck too so DROWN IN IT 🤣
woongdeongies please stop saying the brand dropped jw especially while mentioning the brand’s name in uncensored rants 😭 the company is likely trying to minimize his public individual appearances at the moment to protect him from additional backlash. fortune favors the patient.
we were all prepared for 0 lines 0 screentime because of the hell boys planet put us through but now. Now! we get to prosper 🥹 love you jiwoong stay jobful forever you are a star
this fandom has seriously made it illegal for hanbin to exist and for people who love him to love him peacefully. it’s not normal for so many of our first thoughts when he gets a solo job to be “i’m worried about akgaes” rather than “i’m happy for hanbin.” you’re all terrible
knetz were complaining about super lady tiktoks, telling taerae they liked his church oppa image more, begged him to stop doing gg dances… he had once chance.
this is why i’ll forever be furious at jw hate/people saying he’s getting “unfairly pushed” bc icl a constant stream of solo jobs for his first & likely last proper group is the LEAST he deserves after going through hell but bastards just call him old and undeserving ㄱㅇㅅ
not to praise a company but we have to give wakeone credit where it’s due i’m so sure they gave us woonghao because of how crazy their fans are they know their shit when it comes to pairings i hope they keep paying attention to fan demand MWA
guys i love jiwoong so much like seriously and it is not enough that i love him so much everyone has to as well so i hope that happens soon and everyone who doesn't comply to this simple wish just evaporates... my pride my dearest i want better and the best for you only.
jw: while taking a rest i didn’t do anything i just slept and stayed away from my phone
some fans: WHY TF IS HIS VLOG ONLY FIVE MINUTES!!!!! THIS IS MISTREATMENT!!!!!
i wish y’all would stop treating every form of “queer imagery” you see as representation for you and an entire population i could care less about what you think of the guys’ sexualities as individuals but painting them as queer icons is just sooooo invasive
the things i’d do to be one of those “zeroses”/“solos”/“ot9s” who aren’t being personally affected by this issue omfg how do some of y’all just not gaf please teach me how or inherit my chest pains cause 😭😭😭😭
an anecdote from a friend of a hair and makeup artist who worked with jiwoong in one of his web dramas!
'woongdeongies, zeroses~ my close friend was a hair and makeup artist in one of jiwoong's old web dramas and was able to see his personality. he was very quiet at first and
