About Jiwoong's previous groups: (this will be a long comment): TW WARNING: SA, physical abuse, verbal abuse, underage abuse, and lowkey forced starving(?) (let me know if I missed anything). These situations have a lot of layers but I will summarize as much as I can (if anyone wants a more in-depth answer let me know). INX - The company treated them badly (overall staff weren't nice and threatened to get them kicked out/disband the group), didn't support them financially, did not communicate with them, left them without a place to practice, fired staff who spoke up in support/to help the members and kept downsizing their employees expecting the members to pick up the slack of not having a manager or anything. They wouldn't get payed and were expected to fund everything that the company would usually pay for + the company was supposed to buy their food and tell them not to complain when they didn't do it since they "wouldn't die from skipping a meal" (the members were not getting payed, had no money, were being forced to spend their money on company things/for the company and the company would tell them that they would get them food and then wouldn't). There was verbal abuse and threats from their CEO. Because they did not have any staff with them when they would go out and promote, they would FREQUENTLY get s*xually harrased by "fans" at events. Overall, a horrible situation. ATEEN - There was a situation where their female CEO s*xually assaulted 6 of the 10 members (2 of which were UNDERAGE at the time) and the other 4 were there and had to watch it happen at a restaurant in Japan. They reported that the s*xual assault had been an ongoing thing in the short time they were under the company (so this was nowhere near the first time this had happened). She threatened to disband the group if they said anything to anyone about the situation so they had never spoken up in fear of their dreams not working out (this is a common thing that companies threaten their artists/trainees in order to get them to stay quiet over abuse or illegal things happening in the companies). They filed this lawsuit anonymously and only a month later it was revealed that it was them. Basically, Jiwoong (who was 17-19 throughout these situations btw) has been in MORE THAN ONE company/group where he was literally abused (verbally/physically/s*xually) and I think he is one of the strongest people I know because he continues to try to achieve (has finally done it and I'm so proud of him) his dreams!!! *These situations are absolutely horrible and I'm glad everyone has gotten out of them. Hopefully idols and trainees will continue to come out with more lawsuits to stop horrible people from doing these disgusting things *Sorry for any typos and/or confusion*
the fact that hao has a freaking teaching license and music degree is so highly impressive. I wish people knew how difficult music college education is... I'm an ex-music student turned accounting because music school burnt me out too much.
especially the college he went to isnt easy to get at all and he was even a topper of the college entrance test in china which is one of the hardest exams to crack
Jiwoongs never disclosed his sexuality but he's continuously shown his support for the lgbt+ community and proudly talks about his BL work :) unfortunately not all BL actors are the same
He's been so clear about his support and unapologetic about kissing boys... I don't actually care if he's gay, I'm just glad to have him on our side. He's such a sweetheart, too. Watching him with the younger members melts me 💜
Pretty sure a chunk of Matthew's profile is missing, cause I doubt they'd fail to mention he's Canadian and that Hanbin and he were friends and trained together before Boys Planet.
Zanghao, Ricky, Gyuvun and Yujin are all from Yuehua Entertainment Mathew, Hanbin trained some time together in Cube Entertainment. Thats why most of the members knew each other even before Boysplanet.
Its finally here omg i wanted to sleep but i will stay up just to watch this! So excited. Really appreciate all the time youve put into recording and editing this whole thing. Seems like there was a part cut out of the guide video where matthew and hanbins friendship was explained. So Hanbin and Matthew trained together under a different company, joined seperate ones and then met again in Boys Planet. Its really sweet. (Translation made it seem like he went to school WITH that eddie guy but Matthew simply mispoke and ment "similar to eddie" rather than "with eddie". the korean words are very similar). Matthews HMC tattoo stands for Howls Moving castle bcs his mom likes the movie so much. Matthew also has another tattoo on his thigh which wasnt revealed at the time of the guide
46:18 the song is 3D by Jungkook 57:46 he sings covers but that song he wrote for matthew 58:18 it's In Bloom by Zerobaseone 1:01:23 the song is super lady by gidle 1:15:19 the song is Tiger Inside by SuperM 1:22:47 the song is Bouncy by Ateez
I really enjoyed this video !! As my favourite group is zb1, it was fun to see you react !! It’s sad to see that this video is quite outdated? I feel like a lot has happened ever since march 2024.
ur videos are so fun, and ur reactions!! theres not one point in the video where i was bored. i normally dont watch long videos but, ur reactions were so fun that i literally watchd the whole video start to finish!!
Another good day!!! Hope you're doing great!!!! I love zerobaseone💙💙💙 I didn't realize it was an HOUR!!! I love long videos like this! Ricky is such an icon lol (Umbrella)
This was a lot of fun to watch! It's interesting to see someone else getting to know ZB1 when I've been following them since the beginning of Boys Planet and I'd never been this obsessed with a kpop group before (in about a decade of following kpop pretty closely and even longer of being a more causal listener). They're a truly special group. To answer some of the questions you asked throughout the video and point some things out: - when it showed Jiwoong with Yujin, you missed it when they said "we're the oldest and the youngest" (it seems you only caught "the oldest", but Yujin is the maknae/youngest) - "Dance the night away" by Twice is the girl group song you said you've heard before and didn't know the title/artist - other songs you asked about: Super Lady by (G)i-dle and Tiger Inside by SuperM, Bouncy by ATEEZ - 57:38 here you missed where it says the song Taerae is singing is one he wrote himself about/for Matthew (btw there's a whole backstory that during their reality show "Camp Zerobaseone", that they recorded shortly after becoming a group and before debuting, there was a moment when Taerae was on camera alone to say a few words about the experience of recording the show, and Matthew was behind the camera, and Taerae looked at Matthew's smile when the sun was setting and started crying - even though Taerae usually doesn't cry easily) - usually when idols wear eyepatches it's because they've got a stye
so excited for this reaction! don’t know if the video said or if i just missed it but matthew is canadian! that’s why his accent is so good 😄 also have never seen that clip of him singing (with maki from &team) before so i’m glad i watched this 🥹
OMG, thank you so much for posting this long reaction to ZB1. I hope you enjoyed it, I sure did ! To answer some of your questions : - I think there's a little confusion in the video during Matthew's part. Hanbin et Matthew knew each other already before boys planned as they trained together in the same company during a period of time. They became really close friends during that time and even lived together, had a friendship ring and everything. So yeah, through boys planet and ZB1 they finally got the opportunity to debut together. - btw Matthew is Canadian, that's why his English is so naturel - The HMC tattoo on Matthew is a reference to the Howl's Moving Castle by Miyazaki Personally, Gunwook is my biais. I discovered him in the first of episode of Boys planet back when it aired and he automatically became my top1 pick. He's such a talented and precious boy. Because of our age difference (I'm born in 98 and him in 05), I always look at him with a lot of fondness. I'm basically a proud mom when it comes to him, always praising him on every occasion I get. Umbrella btw 👀
i decided to make a comment on any questions u had and i can answer but i only decided around a third of the video in, so ill go back n add more! 46:18 the song is '3D' by Jung Kook (BTS) ! 47:15 yes this song is great! its one of ZB1's songs, called 'New Kidz on the Block' ! 47:47 yes, matthew is canadian! so his english is fluent/native; funnily enough, the reason he ends up being unfiltered is due to him learning more korean so he just says whatever is on his mind lollll (that and he is just genuinely unfiltered lmaoo) 50:28 ik youre still learning about them, just wanted to say i had a similar experience confusing gunwook and taerae lolll just found it funny im not the only one😅 54:09 a bath house is basically a public area where ppl go to have baths; idk if there r still active ones in the UK but the city of Bath is famous for them in the Roman era 57:48 in that particular clip, he was singing a song he wrote himself, but im assuming the lives are either gonna be their own songs or song requests from fans/covers of other songs (pls correct me if im wrong guys, i miss the lives all the time 😶) 58:17 the song is 'In Bloom' by ZB1! its also their debut song! (can we have a reaction to the music vid pls? 😶🌫) 1:01:07 LMAOOO no bcs what did he mean by that🤨 1:01:18 the song is 'Crush' by ZB1! 1:01:24 the song is 'Super Lady' by (G)I-DLE! 1:08:34 nah matthew was joking, the song wasnt real but they finally got the chicken ad, so the joke was that the song ricky sang was the soundtrack for the chicken ad 😭 apologies 4 this big comment; i never comment on anything but i was feeling it today lmao anyways im gonna pause my comment here cuz im actually sick n i need to sleep😓 but thanks for the video!!! edit: umbrella!! thanks for the video :)) i was 2 lazy to finish time stamps;;; anyways, would deffo love the member specific videos in the next reactions!!!
Umbrella! thank you for watching a guide, they're such a fun group to know... the only thing that I hate about them is their evil company Wakeone and that they're a temporary group and we only have around one year left with them all together before they disband 😭😭 Matthew's english is good bc he's canadian and he also speaks a little french! Idols often wear eyepatches when they get styes which I think they tend to get more often then regular people bc they wear irritating makeup around their eyes almost everyday, so that's prolly why Gunwook was wearing an eyepatch.
7:30 yoooo jamie is 'mothering' y'all lmao. I knew that you were referring to hanbin dancing to that viral 'mother' video. It was quite a meme among kpop stans and was called the 'mothering era' HAHAHAHA
HOORAY!!!!! 🎉 This is one of my favorite videos yet!?!?! I adore Zerobaseone, and this just made me smile 😁 from ear to ear!!!!! Thank you for that, as well as all of your delightful content!!!!! Have a superb rest of the week and until next time, sensational Mr. Jamie!!!!! 🌌✨🎑 Umbrella ☔!?!
51:30 basically, Matthew's buff and likes to workout, so he loves his protein and I'm assuming that's why he wants a chicken ad so bad 😭 idk if I'm missing any context but that's my understanding of it lmao
Matthew is usually attached to everyone but him and Gunwook are also pretty close they’ve been asked so many times if they are dating 😂 they never deny it though
I've been watching you since I was 14, I came back to watch your videos after a while and I'm so glad you're still here on YT. I hope you have a happy, calm and fulfilling life. 🤍
![[#2024MAMA] ZEROBASEONE - KILL THE ROMEO + GOOD SO BAD | Mnet 241123](/img/1.gif)
It's finally here! This recording was so long that you can see it getting progressively darker as time passes lol
Hope you enjoy :)
About Jiwoong's previous groups: (this will be a long comment):
TW WARNING: SA, physical abuse, verbal abuse, underage abuse, and lowkey forced starving(?) (let me know if I missed anything).
These situations have a lot of layers but I will summarize as much as I can (if anyone wants a more in-depth answer let me know).
INX - The company treated them badly (overall staff weren't nice and threatened to get them kicked out/disband the group), didn't support them financially, did not communicate with them, left them without a place to practice, fired staff who spoke up in support/to help the members and kept downsizing their employees expecting the members to pick up the slack of not having a manager or anything. They wouldn't get payed and were expected to fund everything that the company would usually pay for + the company was supposed to buy their food and tell them not to complain when they didn't do it since they "wouldn't die from skipping a meal" (the members were not getting payed, had no money, were being forced to spend their money on company things/for the company and the company would tell them that they would get them food and then wouldn't). There was verbal abuse and threats from their CEO. Because they did not have any staff with them when they would go out and promote, they would FREQUENTLY get s*xually harrased by "fans" at events.
Overall, a horrible situation.
ATEEN - There was a situation where their female CEO s*xually assaulted 6 of the 10 members (2 of which were UNDERAGE at the time) and the other 4 were there and had to watch it happen at a restaurant in Japan. They reported that the s*xual assault had been an ongoing thing in the short time they were under the company (so this was nowhere near the first time this had happened). She threatened to disband the group if they said anything to anyone about the situation so they had never spoken up in fear of their dreams not working out (this is a common thing that companies threaten their artists/trainees in order to get them to stay quiet over abuse or illegal things happening in the companies). They filed this lawsuit anonymously and only a month later it was revealed that it was them.
Basically, Jiwoong (who was 17-19 throughout these situations btw) has been in MORE THAN ONE company/group where he was literally abused (verbally/physically/s*xually) and I think he is one of the strongest people I know because he continues to try to achieve (has finally done it and I'm so proud of him) his dreams!!!
*These situations are absolutely horrible and I'm glad everyone has gotten out of them. Hopefully idols and trainees will continue to come out with more lawsuits to stop horrible people from doing these disgusting things
*Sorry for any typos and/or confusion*
😭
the fact that hao has a freaking teaching license and music degree is so highly impressive. I wish people knew how difficult music college education is... I'm an ex-music student turned accounting because music school burnt me out too much.
especially the college he went to isnt easy to get at all and he was even a topper of the college entrance test in china which is one of the hardest exams to crack
47:51 : Matthew is Canadian haha that’s why he’s fluent in English. He was born in Vancouver!
Ahhh that was probably cut out in some way; makes sense!
Jiwoongs never disclosed his sexuality but he's continuously shown his support for the lgbt+ community and proudly talks about his BL work :) unfortunately not all BL actors are the same
He's been so clear about his support and unapologetic about kissing boys... I don't actually care if he's gay, I'm just glad to have him on our side.
He's such a sweetheart, too. Watching him with the younger members melts me 💜
Pretty sure a chunk of Matthew's profile is missing, cause I doubt they'd fail to mention he's Canadian and that Hanbin and he were friends and trained together before Boys Planet.
Yeah it jumps straight to saying about him and Han in debuting together and cuts out the bit before😢
Zanghao, Ricky, Gyuvun and Yujin are all from Yuehua Entertainment
Mathew, Hanbin trained some time together in Cube Entertainment.
Thats why most of the members knew each other even before Boysplanet.
33:12 yes, Hao is Chinese! And his background and achievements are impressive fr, especially when you consider how populated China is.
Boys planet really hit a jackpot with all the trainees who partake in the show
Every traniee on that show are very talented
30:20 you probably realised this later on but Yujin is the youngest and Jiwoong is the oldest! :)
Its finally here omg i wanted to sleep but i will stay up just to watch this! So excited. Really appreciate all the time youve put into recording and editing this whole thing.
Seems like there was a part cut out of the guide video where matthew and hanbins friendship was explained. So Hanbin and Matthew trained together under a different company, joined seperate ones and then met again in Boys Planet. Its really sweet. (Translation made it seem like he went to school WITH that eddie guy but Matthew simply mispoke and ment "similar to eddie" rather than "with eddie". the korean words are very similar).
Matthews HMC tattoo stands for Howls Moving castle bcs his mom likes the movie so much. Matthew also has another tattoo on his thigh which wasnt revealed at the time of the guide
Hope you enjoy it!
14:12 I believe Ddungjjungham was gifted to Hanbin from a fan! Makes it all the more sweeter
46:18 the song is 3D by Jungkook
57:46 he sings covers but that song he wrote for matthew
58:18 it's In Bloom by Zerobaseone
1:01:23 the song is super lady by gidle
1:15:19 the song is Tiger Inside by SuperM
1:22:47 the song is Bouncy by Ateez
17:46 M Countdown is one of the biggest music stages in South Korea!
Hanbin is reaaally sweet by appearances, voices, and his personality
I really enjoyed this video !! As my favourite group is zb1, it was fun to see you react !! It’s sad to see that this video is quite outdated? I feel like a lot has happened ever since march 2024.
OMG THANK YOU!! YOUR JEBEWON REACTIONS ARE THE BEST!! AND ALSO, I AM SO HAPPY THAT U HAVE GYUVIN AS YOUR BIAS!! HES SUCH A KIND HEARTED BALL OF LOVE!!
57:48 is a song he wrote for Matthew
ur videos are so fun, and ur reactions!! theres not one point in the video where i was bored. i normally dont watch long videos but, ur reactions were so fun that i literally watchd the whole video start to finish!!
Legend! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for staying until the end :) That helps the channel a lot too
Another good day!!! Hope you're doing great!!!! I love zerobaseone💙💙💙
I didn't realize it was an HOUR!!! I love long videos like this! Ricky is such an icon lol

- when it showed Jiwoong with Yujin, you missed it when they said "we're the oldest and the youngest" (it seems you only caught "the oldest", but Yujin is the maknae/youngest)
- "Dance the night away" by Twice is the girl group song you said you've heard before and didn't know the title/artist
- other songs you asked about: Super Lady by (G)i-dle and Tiger Inside by SuperM, Bouncy by ATEEZ
- 57:38 here you missed where it says the song Taerae is singing is one he wrote himself about/for Matthew (btw there's a whole backstory that during their reality show "Camp Zerobaseone", that they recorded shortly after becoming a group and before debuting, there was a moment when Taerae was on camera alone to say a few words about the experience of recording the show, and Matthew was behind the camera, and Taerae looked at Matthew's smile when the sun was setting and started crying - even though Taerae usually doesn't cry easily)

YAYYY so happy! thank you for this!
OMG, thank you so much for posting this long reaction to ZB1. I hope you enjoyed it, I sure did !

Personally, Gunwook is my biais. I discovered him in the first of episode of Boys planet back when it aired and he automatically became my top1 pick. He's such a talented and precious boy. Because of our age difference (I'm born in 98 and him in 05), I always look at him with a lot of fondness. I'm basically a proud mom when it comes to him, always praising him on every occasion I get.
Umbrella btw 👀
i decided to make a comment on any questions u had and i can answer but i only decided around a third of the video in, so ill go back n add more!

47:15 yes this song is great! its one of ZB1's songs, called 'New Kidz on the Block' !
47:47 yes, matthew is canadian! so his english is fluent/native; funnily enough, the reason he ends up being unfiltered is due to him learning more korean so he just says whatever is on his mind lollll (that and he is just genuinely unfiltered lmaoo)
50:28 ik youre still learning about them, just wanted to say i had a similar experience confusing gunwook and taerae lolll just found it funny im not the only one😅
54:09 a bath house is basically a public area where ppl go to have baths; idk if there r still active ones in the UK but the city of Bath is famous for them in the Roman era
57:48 in that particular clip, he was singing a song he wrote himself, but im assuming the lives are either gonna be their own songs or song requests from fans/covers of other songs (pls correct me if im wrong guys, i miss the lives all the time 😶)
58:17 the song is 'In Bloom' by ZB1! its also their debut song! (can we have a reaction to the music vid pls? 😶🌫)

LETS GOOOOOO
❤❤
at this point pls make a series on reacting to boys planet series
i turned into a skeleton while waiting for you to post this😞
Mathew is from Canada😭
hi
Btw the W in Jiwoong and Gunwook isn’t pronounced how you were doing it, it would actually be more accurate to not pronounce the W at all.
Jamie are you single ❤
Matthew is usually attached to everyone but him and Gunwook are also pretty close they’ve been asked so many times if they are dating 😂 they never deny it though
Do you think you can react to yeosang and mingi from Ateez ❤❤
I've been watching you since I was 14, I came back to watch your videos after a while and I'm so glad you're still here on YT. I hope you have a happy, calm and fulfilling life. 🤍
