It’s crazy how they’ve burrowed their way into becoming one of my fav groups in such a short time. Just looking at them interacting makes me so happy.

Julia Neilson

hopefully you will react to more of their variety videos they are so entertaining!!

the way i’ve fallen for this group is insane. they already seem so natural with variety content. and i’m obsessed with jiwoong being the clumsy, playful eldest and gunwook being the giant cutie second-youngest (so different from how they usually appeared on the show)

It's interesting how fans are saying that they're shocked or surprised over how Jiwoongs personality in ZB1 is so different from Boys Planet, but I think people forget that Jiwoong has been in the industry for around 7 years. In other variety shows, he expresses how he knew showing his abs during the backdoor performance would get a good reaction. It makes me believe that Jiwoong knew that when entering Boys Planet, he would get a lot of attention due to his visuals and his past in acting, but to be voted by non-fans, he needed to be this cool, sexy, "bad" boy image. We did not see a lot of him aside from people acknowledging his looks. Now that he's guaranteed a debut and group for 2.5 years, he can act how he normally would. Overall, I agree with what you said about him and his relationship and standing in the group's dynamic. I think you'll see a different side of him once you guys watch Camp ZeroBaseOne, but his past experiences and groups could easily impact how he acts and interacts with his members. He went from being one of the youngest members to now the oldest. His members are the ones looking up to him, but the other way around. I'm so glad that he is visually so happy in all their recent content and that he is getting his own solo show to show people how he really acts.

pd you have no idea how accurate you are about jiwoong being the Romantic guy Older brother, you’ll see that wayyy more when you watch more of their content

tanasia

and ricky IS a smooth talker LMAO

ZB1 in this video reminded me a lot of rookie exo (and even now honestly with ladder s4 coming out) like they’re not afraid relentlessly nip and bite at each other (the teasing of jiwoong felt eerily familiar to that of suho) and i think that’s partially why i’ve grown so fond them is you can genuinely see them having fun plus great vocals.

that's exactly what I think about gunwook ! like besides him being tall asf and being really broad he kinda acts like a baby or a little bratty. (which was like surprising for most people because yk he looks very masculine and is very huge in general) but what makes him really attractive is how confident and good he is at literally EVERYTHING. Like the way he carries himself is literally the reason why gunwook will always be my ride or die. But he also has like a lot of cute habits UGHH I love him

Kakashi Hatake

please you need to react to their weekly idol episode it was so funny

Tesa

loved the very long discussion/analysis at the end :D can't wait for your podcast about ZB1! i know 4 of them are from the same company and have known each other for a while, but still, to have a group come out of a survival show and mesh so well together is crazy.. they're so special and i can't believe our time with them won't be longer :(

hibou

highly recommend checking out ZB1 Folder whenever you've got time, as well as Halmyungsoo (super funny), Weekly Idol and Idol Human Theater. (also if you want to see an interesting pair dynamic you should watch the Hanbin/Hao Tingle Interview lmao + Gyuvin/Yujin also have one!)) (Hao looked so cute in his panda costume! Gyuvin's was dedicated though)

I really loved your discussion at the end. I want to add on some things about Jiwoong as someone that has been a huge fan of his for years. Yes Jiwoong is such a goof. He used to be even more expressive facial wise when he was in INX and the maknae but this was also pre-acting career. Idk if it was because he went into acting or because of what life threw at him while he was an idol before or maybe a combination of that and just growing up he now just has a resting stoic face and his smile is usually :] . It’s funny you mentioned in the other video but yeah Yujin and Jiwoong are so similar in many ways. The way Jiwoong is as the oldest hyung reminds me a bit of how Yeonjun is as the oldest hyung in TXT. I’m sad people couldn’t see much of Jiwoong’s personality but I’m excited for y’all to see more of him he’s so unserious and YES HE IS A FLIRT honestly. He is very romantic with his words and actions. ALSO Jiwoong is now confirmed to have a solo web variety show(kind of like Fearless Kura or Yena’s animal detective on the same yt channel) “Detective Kim Jiwoong” about a detective who can't stand being curious with various guests. Here is the teaser: https://youtu.be/UOlxWWIa694?si=94z4mdmwJaoOw24-

pd def needs to check out hanbin's mother dance video before watching zb1 folder though LOL,, atp it's so embedded in zb1 lore

hibou

omg yes! honestly all predebut Hanbin dances are so worth it. made me appreciate him so much more!

Shanz

Gunwook is such a cutie. Like he can look so fierce but then also so cute. I also love how much he likes to be babied and called cute. Like he loves it ^_^. He fits his nickname of giant baby so much.

Emily

All I’m going to say after watching this is: all will be answered once you watch their K Star Next Door episodes. Their dynamic with each other is much clearer once you watch that. Jiwoong is definitely the romantic older bro who dotes on the younger members ( + Matthew), and Ricky is definitely a flirt (but secretly adorable). I think you’re wrong about Jiwoong being the punching bag (he definitely was here because they were speaking informally, but most of the time it’s someone else), you’ll know what I mean after KSND.

ZB1 are very close and honestly I feel like it's admiration mixed with maybe a little trauma from the survival show. Boy's Planet was rough on them, and you could see how it affected them through Yujin's experience alone. The only people they could really rely on was each other. I also want to bring back into the discussion what you talked about with Gunwook on boy's planet episode 3 reaction when he was planning out the korean Kill This Love team. You mentioned the fact he's part of a new wave of idols that can compete with people but also has a 'no-one-left-behind' mentality where they don't feel the need to dislike or mess up their competition. I think that's applicable to all of the ZB1 members. I think the whole team admires each other, and are able to bicker so much because of how comfortable they are and because they were supposed to be competitors during the show and they played up on that playfully and it just kinda stuck. Also both Jiwoong and Gunwook are the romantics of the groups. Jiwoong reads poetry books and bought Matthew a personally made cologne for his birthday. Gunwook has always been poetic and wrote beautifully in his personal notes, namely the one when he was eliminated from Wild Idol where he warned the next time he was in the public light he wouldn't be leaving and then Daeul's goodbye letter where he described Daeul's smile as a moon that soaks up all the darkness and shine beautifully. He's also the most insane member at fansigns where he has said to fans, and I quote him directly, "You like me? You like me bad? Me too." and "You like oppa (referring to himself) that much?". There was this one korean tweet that described Gunwook and I haven't gotten it out of my head. "Gunwook speaks strongly, loudly and with a sense of excitement, but if you look closely, he is asking you to like him". Gunwook has so much ambition but it's rooted in a love for his peers. He wouldn't have been class president, participated in an anti-bullying program at school, helped with an umbrella donating program, and gave away candies to his schoolmates that high fived him if he didn't love people. I think he wants to be loved just as much as he loves, and that's a lot. I think he's a perfect role model of healthy masculinity. Both him and Hanbin are two sides of the same coin to me, and while Hanbin showcases his love through his constant praises and smiles and physical touch and general adoration, Gunwook shows his love through his constant compliments, ability to join in conversations that might be a little awkward for others, the ability to redirect focus to other members, and willingness to be teased or be joked about.

i can’t wait for you guys to check out camp zb1!!! it shows their relationship and group dynamics even better, its incredible how fast they became like a little family (the members themselves say they’re brothers now which is so adorable.) also i know many people mentioned it already but you guys HAVE to check out their idol human theater episode, for me it’s their best variety appearance up to date and it shows their banter even better lol

Maddie Ash

i agree that jiwoong’s attitude really helps the group dynamic - yujin said that the member he feels has the same mental age as him is jiwoong, yujin and jiwoong are roommates, and jiwoongs brother is around the same age as yujin (i think) - so even tho they have a big age gap jiwoong really brings a playful and comfortable vibe to the group and i think it really helped them all grow closer ! both jiwoong and gyuvin i feel are kind of a glue for this group

Wiktor

Jiwoongs personality has always been very good, open and very accepting throughout the years. However. I did notice that once he got into BL acting and connected with a lot of Gay/Bi/LGBT idols, staff and the environment. He became VERY VERY open and extremely loving and also very “be who you are. I don’t care! I will love you regardless” type of attitude.

It’s amazing that they have such a gentle, loving, and accepting hyung line that totally sets the group dynamic. And jiwoong, hao, and hanbin have each gone through so many life experiences even before boys planet that I feel like the younger ones can totally rely on them for any kind of advice. Good role models all around and we can tell that they’re all so comfortable vs having more of an authoritarian hyung line that doesn’t play around!

Bwbble

They have one of my favorite group dynamics, it feels so genuine and I love them all so much. Every member has a deep but unique bond with one another. A lot of them we got to see on boys planet but my favorite new dynamic that grew is Taerae and Matthew! The two of them are best friends (self proclaimed) now and they are so cute. Ill add on to this when I get around to finishing this video :) Cant wait to see you look at the rest of their variety content!

sunnyside

gunwook and his little scooter at the end means the world to me. my perfect boy.

Emma Rösler

can't wait for you to check out more of their variety content because they are . hilarious. my favorites are k star next door and idol human theater!

CJ

Hahahahaha I remember Gus and that's on point! That's also why Ricky is my bias ,😁

Faith

When the group was announced I was actually a little worried about how Jiwoong would fit in given the age gap, but I'm so happy he's there because he gives me big Jin vibes, and his relationship with Yu Jin is also very akin to Jin/JK for me. He's not precious about his image, and I think it helps the younger members feel that much more at ease around him and in stressful situations. I also think its a very intentional choice, which speaks a lot to his maturity and ability to almost sacrifice himself and his own image for the sake of the group dynamic.
