WAKEONE's Management Under Fire

Hey seoul crushers!

So get this – ZEROSEs (that’s what ZEROBASEONE fans call themselves) thought Zhang Hao was secretly running the group’s Weibo account. Wild, right?

So here’s what happened: ZEROBASEONE’s Weibo posted some pics of Zhang Hao recently. But the caption was kinda sus. The social media person wrote in parentheses “Pretend it was from the company, not me.” Oops!

According to the post:

“ZB1_cn on Weibo Lively youth under the sun (Pretend this is posted by the company, but by me)”

ZEROSEs were like “Aha! Gotcha!” They took this as Zhang Hao basically admitting he was the one behind the Weibo posts and captions. Fans were all “Good job exposing WAKEONE, Zhang Hao!”

But hold up, there’s more to the story. Zhang Hao actually explained what went down in a Chat message later. Turns out, there was some truth to it. A staff member had asked him for caption ideas. That parenthesis bit? That was just meant for the staff’s eyes! But they went and copy-pasted Zhang Hao’s whole message. Facepalm.

Zhang Hao said:

“The staff asked me to come up with a caption for yesterday’s Weibo post. I said just post something casually, like ‘lively youth under the sun,’ but it’s a bit funny to say something like this myself, so don’t tell anyone I wrote it. But they ended up posting the whole thing”.

Some ZEROSEs thought it was pretty hilarious. Others were like “Wow, WAKEONE really messed up here.”
