ZEROBASEONE Staff Allegedly Caught Kissing In The Group’s Dance Practice Video
A recent ZEROBASEONE dance practice video has stirred up an unexpected frenzy online… not solely because of the group’s impressive choreography.
Instead, eagle-eyed fans noticed what they believed to be a romantic moment between two staff members captured in the background, which has since gone viral among the group’s fanbase and other K-Pop fans.
In the video, while the members of ZEROBASEONE were fully focused on practicing their dance moves, fans spotted two individuals — assumed to be staff members — getting a bit cozy on a couch positioned behind the dancers. The interaction has sparked interest as viewers claim to have seen the male staff member resting his head on the female colleague’s shoulder.
Fans even speculate that the two might have shared a kiss, although the moment isn’t entirely clear as it’s partially obscured by one of the members in the foreground.

They view the interaction as a lack of professionalism on the part of WAKEONE’s (ZEROBASEONE’s agency) team. Some fans noted the contrast between the staff’s alleged actions and the group’s intense dedication during practice, calling the behavior “distracting” and “inappropriate” given the members’ hard work.
so unprofessional and not ounce of work etiquette ugh like at least leave that for off work hours not during work house and definitely not when the artist is present 🤦🏻♀️

The unexpected incident has opened a larger conversation about professionalism within K-Pop management teams, with some fans questioning whether WAKEONE should address the matter to avoid further controversy. ZEROBASEONE fans, in particular, have had multiple grips with the group’s management in the past year. As such, for some fans this feels like the cherry on top of a very, very frustrating cake.
hope internal problems means wakeone hiring new competent staff because fuck this company fr how do they continue to disappoint us more on every occasion
