While many thought it was a legitimate protest, it was technically a “joke.” The photo was taken during the group’s recent fan meeting. At fanmeetings, idols are often given gifts or props to pose for photos with. These signs were part of it.

That day, the members of ZEROBASONE were dressed in an “office worker” concept. So it fit the theme.

However, there is a famous saying: “Behind every joke there is some truth.” ZEROSES (ZEROBASEONE fans) have long been frustrated by the group’s society, AWAKENING.

ZB1 & Zerose should all hit against wakeone 😌

ZEROS have long called for better treatment for Ricky And Kim Ji Woong. Many feel that these two were treated badly and unfairly.

They noticed that while the other members seemed to be holding up the signs lightly, Ricky and Jiwoong were doing it solemnly as if it wasn’t a joke to them.
