During the third show, the members became emotional, unable to control their tears.

Park Gunwook, especially, was one of the most emotional by the end of the concert. He burst into tears while giving a heartfelt ending speech. He appeared to have become emotional thinking about how ZEROBASEONE is technically a temporary project group made through Boys Planet.

🧸:But…um…more than the fan and idol relationship Zerose have given me a lot of strength […]. Really…I really love you a lot, I am really really thankful…it'd be nice if we could always be together

I'm typing through tears so it's a bit hard… pic.twitter.com/ehbpyyw0Za

His members attempted to comfort him. Yet, maknae Han Yujin became a sympathetic crier.

when the members are comforting gunwook, yujin said ‘when gunwookie hyung talks a lot with me in my room..’ and started crying too 🥲

When Gunwook started sobbing, Yujin said

🐰: Gunwookie Hyung, talked a lot with me in my room……

Leader Sung Hanbin also broke down in tears during his ending speech. He often attempts to hold back his tears, but he couldn’t anymore.

at the end of his ment, hanbin said "may we…." (he breaking down and seems hard to complete his sentence) "…let's meet with the same heart again" and gyuvin gives him tissueㅠㅠㅠ best leader, best boy, best person, sung hanbin😭🤍

“I’ve been holding back my tears since I became the leader.”

I hope that when you express your thoughts, you can lighten the burden and responsibility as a leader and fully express your emotions as Sung Hanbin.. so, it’s okay to cry hanbin-ahㅜㅜㅠ pic.twitter.com/LxHk951FAI

Eldest member Kim Jiwoong also cried during multiple concerts. Jiwoong, having debuted three times, has gone through so much.

Kim Taerae appeared teary-eyed during his ending speech on Day 3. Still, he attempted to hold it in.

🐥: I’m thankful to all the member but if I chose a certain member*looks at matthew I feel like I would really cry so I wouldn’t say it

Fans noticed Kim Gyuvin was one of the few who did not cry. Instead, he attempted to stay strong for them, comforting them, bringing tissues, etc.

Gyuvin is the glue of zb1…the whole house was crying and he was able to stay strong for the members and give them tissues pic.twitter.com/vhyrHhqjGu

It's so endearing how gyuvin, whos arguably the biggest crybaby in the group, never cries when the other members start crying but instead is always the first who goes to comfort them pic.twitter.com/mPRk865ng2

On the other hand, staff present were reportedly not as sympathetic. Fans in attendance claimed that staff, including an alleged manager, not only mocked fans but allegedly made fun of the members for crying.

내 옆이 스태프들 자리였는데… 매니저라는 사람이 계속 옆에서 팬들,멤버들 우는 거 조롱하듯이 흐어어어어엉이러면서 억지 울음소리 내는 거 진짜 기분 나쁘고 분위기 다 깨졋음…;;; 대놓고 옆에서 그러니까 내가 쳐다보니까 안한 척하는건 뭐임?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The seats next to me were for the staff… but this person who called themselves a manager kept mocking the fans and members who were crying, making exaggerated fake crying sounds. It was really unpleasant and ruined the atmosphere…;;; Since they were doing it right next to me, when I looked over, they pretended like they weren’t doing it. What’s that all about? LOL.

wk1 staff (including the manager) mocking both the members & the fans for crying like this is just insane my god they’re so insanely revolting and i hope karma hits them like a fucking truck

WAKEONE staff has been under fire even more recently for allegedly losing a fan gift for Ricky. Read more below.
