WAKEONE Posts Long-Awaited ZEROBASEONE’s Ricky Update, Fans Voice Discontent Over Caption

It’s been the first solo update of the member in so long.

ZEROSEs (ZEROBASEONE fans) have been increasingly frustrated by WAKEONE‘s treatment of Ricky.

When they filmed CAMP ZEROBASEONE, WAKEONE seemingly forgot about the two Chinese members, Zhang Hao and Ricky. They were initially denied entry into Jeju because they did not have their passports. Koreans do not need passports to travel within Korea. He also had to miss The 2023 Asia Artist Awards due to unresolved passport and visa issues. 

On October 31, 2023, ZEROSES were shocked by ZEROBASONE’s management’s actions during a set of live broadcasts. A manager could be heard yelling at Ricky for beginning his live broadcast without their permission, which outraged many netizens.

There have been a couple of issues recently during ZEROBASEONE’s tour. A sharp object pierced Ricky’s hand during a performance, and WAKEONE lost fans’ custom-made gift of in-ear monitors.

These are just a few examples of WAKEONE’s alleged mistreatment against Ricky specifically. Yet, what has had ZEROSEs especially upset recently is that it appears Ricky has been put on a social media ban, as he hasn’t posted since August.

Finally, Ricky posted today. He sent ZEROSEs a photo with messages regarding his new ambassadorship of UNISKIN.

WAKEONE also shared some posts of Ricky via the official ZEROBASEONE accounts, congratulating him on his ambassadorship.

ZEROSEs rejoiced that solo posts of Ricky were finally shared after so long. They were so happy he was finally able to update.

Yet, some found issue with WAKEONE’s posts. They didn’t like the tone of WAKEONE’s captions.
