◯◯ 2021.04.20 | Views: 49,114
These days, there’s an increase in casual fans, and I just want to throw out all the facts I found for the not-so-well-known idols! It’s getting tough to hold it in alone, hahaha.
It doesn’t have to be something everyone knows! Just write anything, from trivial profiles to TMI (too much information) that’s just for laughs. It doesn’t matter if it’s unimportant; just write it~
I’ll start!
– The name Zero-One starts with Zero (0) and suggests that one day they will become the number one (1) idol. Zero-One uses the number 0 instead of the letter O in their English name ZERO1.
– Zero-One’s official fan club name is ION (10N), which means forever. It signifies that Zero-One (영원) and forever (영원히) are together. Since both mean ‘forever’, it implies that Zero-One and ION are one body.
– Except for the leader Go Yeongin, all other members are over 180cm tall. It’s not that our leader is short; it’s just that the members are tall, so don’t misunderstand ((((Yeongin is the best)))))
– Zero-One has no member named Ha Junsu. (I really want to see your surprised faces. Wouldn’t you be shocked if a ghost suddenly popped out? Just kidding. Don’t be scared even if it’s a lie. The reason for your scared heart is because of this. I feel like I’m going to get hit even if it’s a joke ㅠ)
– Zero-One has never released a full album. They debuted with a single and have released three mini-albums since then! They are preparing for a full album like this

》 Who is the head of Zero-One’s agency, Double D Entertainment? They are so genuine about the world…^^
ㄴ Oh damn ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
ㄴ Why is this a problem? Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone like that in the world..? It’s not a matter of just asking if you don’t know it’s real…
ㄴ I’m seriously sick of being so overwhelmed by the universe. To some extent, I don’t want to mess with the universe members, and I’m serious about not even putting out a single bright high-tone killara song.
ㄴ For real, my mom is such a beginner who can’t even cook, but this house has roasted salmon, green onion kimchi, various soba, and these things are written in the description. ㅋㅋㅋ Thanks to the chewy orodo soba, the taste and texture are the best.
ㄴ )) Lim Sebin looks like a warrior of innocence and youth, with a dance pose that seems to be from the Zero Source’s rap pose era. (I’m not being sarcastic!)
ㄴ Seriously, I love it so much ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Even got goosebumps, and he’s completely like a hero in Elpub, playing the tambourine while rapping ㅠㅠㅠ
ㄴ Oh ㅇㅇㅇ?
ㄴ I want to die every time I hear Lim Sebin’s singing rap, his voice sounds like a dog’s bark. His hair style looks like he’s been reborn thrice.
ㄴ It’s an official saying, and he’s a carder. So I mean, erase that part.
ㄴ Go Youngin is a master of mixed colors. He drinks a lot and is tall, plus he has a face like a pickled radish, but he’s born with it.
ㄴ Go Youngin is not a mother ㅠㅠㅠㅠ his eyes are really pretty ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ If you put makeup on, he’ll be even more perfectㅠㅠㅠ
ㄴ ㅇㅇ;; Were they the same age?? Why am I hearing this for the first time?
ㄴ ○○ mentioned it at the beginning of his debut, but I’ve never heard him talk about it, so the fans were hoping for it.
ㄴ Hmm. We went to the same high school, so it’s surprising that the fans didn’t know. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was embarrassing to talk about this.
ㄴ Because of these people, celebrities really have a hard time. Both are doing well and living a better life than you, so stop worrying ㅋㅋㅋ Just shut up, Zero Source fans, why are you so into this?
ㄴ Yeah, rightㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He started it by talking trash first, and then when the fans asked, he said he was a celebrityㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ )) Cheon Sa-yoon has the most amazing shoulders and hands among the members. (Among the members with special visuals, he has the broadest shoulders and biggest hands)
ㄴ Of course, our mom is awesome
ㄴ He’s insane——
ㄴ Cheon Sa-yoon is just born an angel haha; should we say he received an angel buff because of his name?
ㄴ What does that mean? I’m a bit confused.
》 Does anyone know what Se-bin wrote before the comment was edited… I’m so curious I can’t sleep. Since just writing this would make the post meaningless, here’s a TM. Our youngest, Jae-ho, is the tallest and biggest among the members! (Just a year ago, he was the shortest, such memories).
ㄴ Just a rumor, don’t worry about it. This is a thread for sharing info about the members, comments like this are a bit… It’s not a really bad story, but there’s no need for a fan to spread rumors.
ㄴ It’s nothing seriousㅋㅋㅋ There’s a rumor that Lim Se-bin is from a wealthy family, but there’s talk because the family’s image isn’t greatㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Anonymous Entertainment Chat] I’m usually good at sensing things, but there’s a male idol that gives me a bad vibe [11]

This is just my opinion, no offense.
I won’t name names, but something about his face seems off. It’s like you can tell he doesn’t have a normal personality just by looking at him.
Some members of this group have a particularly intense look.

>> Are you a face reader?
ㄴㄱㄴㄲ When will the bad vibe expert shut up?
>> Who is it? ㅎㅎㅎ I’m curious, spill the name
ㄴ222 Tell us who it is first. We’ll judge for ourselves.
ㄴ[Author] It’s a 5-member boy group.
ㄴIf it’s a 5-member group, it’s definitely ㅈㄹㅇ, right? ㅋ
>> What’s this nonsense in the comments?
ㄴ They said they wouldn’t name names but look at this crap? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
>> Just ignore and move on.
‘The reaction isn’t too bad, huh?’
It had been a while since Zero One had seen such clean comments when searched online.
Not having uncertain rumors, insults, or trolls was unusual.
This level of reaction didn’t hurt much. In the past, Zero One had been nationally ridiculed so much that this felt like child’s play.
In fact, it was almost a relief.
Sometimes there were posts that made his heart sink, making him wonder just how much people knew…
Once he started searching, it was endless. Occasionally, fans seemed to know more about Zero One than Gyeo Yeong-in himself, which was embarrassing.
With nothing better to do while banned, Gyeo Yeong-in spent time searching more about Zero One until he arrived at the agency.
***
The internal meeting room was filled not only with the Zero One members but also the agency’s CEO, director, choreographer, stylist, producer, A&R team, and other staff for the concept meeting of the upcoming comeback.
Usually, the concept or image for the activity is planned first, but this time, since the title track was already decided, they were to choose a concept to match the song.
Gyeo Yeong-in and the members were split into groups of twos and threes, sitting opposite each other.
Cheon Sa-yoon was smiling throughout the meeting,
Lim Se-bin, sitting next to him, was staring intensely at the planning document, while beside Gyeo Yeong-in, Kyeon In-woo was doodling on the paper with his chin propped up, and Pyo Jae-ho was sitting silently with an unreadable expression.
‘Was the atmosphere like this before?’
In the past, Gyeo Yeong-in remembered just going along and doing as he was told.
The presentation by the planning staff wasn’t bad overall, and the reactions from other staff were positive.
It just didn’t satisfy Kwon Dae-do, the CEO of Double D Entertainment, who had the final say.
Throughout the presentation, Kwon Dae-do kept making critical remarks, and his expression clearly showed dissatisfaction.
Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table, making a loud noise.
“What the hell,” thought Gyeo Yeong-in, blinking out of habit.
Why is he acting like this? The staff, unable to speak up to their boss, just looked on nervously.
The members also began to focus on the CEO’s sudden outburst.
Feeling the attention on him, Kwon Dae-do smiled with satisfaction and propped his chin up on his hands, using his arms as support.
“So, we’re going with a refreshing concept?”
“Yes. It’s set to be released in July to match the summer, and it pairs well with the tropical house genre. It also fits the idea of a summer special album.”
The employee, presenting the proposal, answered calmly despite having exaggeratedly repeated the same information about twenty times due to the CEO’s persistent questioning.
“Ha… everything’s good. Everything is fine! But as you know, the concept of Zero One is dark, somewhat precarious, and gloomy, right? This isn’t the first time, so why is this happening?”
‘That damn concept.’
In K-pop culture, there’s a thing called a “worldview,” a fictional setting that serves as the foundation for a group’s identity and concept.
For Zero One, their concept was based on a fantasy-like apocalypse devoid of dreams or hope.
Above all,
‘Why the hell do we need a gloomy and dark concept for a tropical house song?’
If left unchecked, he would eventually insist on changing the song, arguing that the concept didn’t match.
He had actually done this before, completely changing the song midway.
Thankfully, the album hadn’t been a complete failure, but it wasn’t a big hit either.
Kwon Dae-do was overly immersed in Zero One’s worldview.
He even had a personal preference for dark and slow music over bright and fast ones.
Thanks to the CEO’s unnecessary stubbornness, all of Zero One’s title track music videos had dark storylines related to their worldview.
Of course, the concept itself wasn’t a problem. Many modern idols created worldviews to use as concepts, and while some fans found them childish, many enjoyed them.
There were also fans who disliked the excessive nature of these concepts.
Zero One’s worldview was fundamentally apocalyptic, meaning the end of humanity, mixed with both sci-fi and fantasy elements, giving it a generally hopeless tone.
This meant their stage costumes and makeup were all intense or gloomy.
There was even a time they had a school uniform concept, but instead of the old-school, youthful vibe fans expected, it was brutal and hopeless, so fans didn’t really see it as a school uniform concept.
‘They even had a realistic bug-like creature that disgusted everyone except a few weird fans with peculiar tastes…’
Many fans did enjoy the heavy atmosphere, but no matter how good a concept is, using it for two years straight is bound to cause complaints.
This title track was supposed to be Zero One’s first attempt at a lively and refreshing concept.
But with the CEO cutting it off like this, other staff members couldn’t give proper responses due to his looming presence.
‘Haha, this is crazy.’
Returning after debuting wasn’t a benefit but a disaster.
No matter how he thought about it, it felt like he’d been swindled by that status window.
