ZB_1 Folder EP 1 + 2

Comments

cynthia li

For context, the duo name for ricky and hao is hariboz, which is why them not knowing haribo was so funny Also hao knows every single kpop choreo ever I swear Yujin is SO baby. Like the parasocial parenthood I feel over this kid is insane

There's actually only 2 episodes of this ZB1 Folder. Sad that most of their youtube contents were mostly behind the scenes. The other one was a special "Taerae Show in LA". There's one more Taerae Show shot in Japan (pre-debut) but it's not a consistent "program". As per Taerae, it's only a KCON Thing. One more variety content they went to during the In Bloom Era was on Myungsoo's show. Here's the link. It has two parts but I suggest watching them at once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oq5Av2Vleg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNszrwyKUpg Thank you, PD and Blaire! More power to you both!

ur comment about zb1 being so hybe coded is so real and maybe thats why im so connected/attached to them bc my ult has been bts for years and still is but now i also ult zb1. im a casual fan for txt, enha, newjeans, lesserafim, svt! I always felt like the hybe groups always had a connection that i dont see from many kpop groups so its hard for me to get into others but for zb1 i was instantly sold bc of their connection/chemistry!!

pocky is the japanese name. we just use the japanese name for it. they will never let Hanbin breathe with the dances, but it's fun and he's proud of them.

ste_ph

PD and gunwook have the same laugh lmao 🤣

Great reaction, i was waiting for this 🥰🥰🥰 ZB1 folder was great to show their chemistry with each other and loved the film nerd rant 😂😂 These episodes were released a long time ago so i don’t remember how they were scheduled, but there were only the three episodes and the current content are little games and some behind the scenes videos. However, with the comeback on horizon of November i hope we get a second season🤞

the parasocial parenthood is so strong w yujin... thats my lil baby, thats my child. i raised that boy and i love him so much lol

Faith

pocky and pepero are different snacks actually, pocky being japanese and pepero being korean manufactured

Daffy

This was so fun! Thank you for reacting to these, I hopee W1 would give us more content like this, I just love their chemistry as a whole group.

skzlover

i love this group so much this was so fun!!! i stan many groups and yes all groups are close but in my opinion i haven't seen a group this close aside from stray kids in awhile, it's really sweet to see!!! i also stan txt, enha, riize, nct etc and they are all insanely close too but its hard to describe the type of bond stray kids has which i also see in zb1 <3

skzlover

also, not sure if you take requests or how that works but i know you really like boynextdoor and were curious ab their personalities so i highsly suggest you and blaire check out FUNNEXTDOOR which is a predebut show they did, only 6 episodes :)

Hi PD and Blair!! I recommend watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQXKrL_da54 (first Taerae show!) before the next ZB1 Folder. There isn't much info on the schedule for these or the actual direction they want to take with them. I love the boys so much, so I'm crossing my fingers for a more established original variety!! Also if you are looking for more ZB1 content, they did 2 special episodes (of 2 parts each) titled Amazing Saturday Preparation before their appearance on the show. The original videos can be found in the Diggle YT page but sadly with no ENG subs. I'll link the subbed videos below: EP.1-1: https://rentry.co/amasatprep11 EP.1-2: https://rentry.co/amasatprep12 EP.2-1: https://rentry.co/amasatprep21 EP.2-2: https://rentry.co/amasatprep22 Another variety show they appeared on was the Hal Myung Soo show. The were featured in 2 episodes: EP.1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oq5Av2Vleg EP.2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNszrwyKUpg Super excited for their comeback in November, wonder what they have in store for us!!! Wishing you a wonderful day!!

Seconding this! The first Taerae Show from KCON Japan would make a perfect prelude to ZB1 Folder Ep 2 which is another Taerae Show but in KCON LA.

HanaCARAT💎

Yay.. Finally. This was such fun. I watched it twice before already. The very first variety style content they shot as a group. It confirmed the chemistry they have as a group and we got to see a new side of them. Will PD be watching the SEVENTEEN comeback special GOSE episode when its released on the 18th??

pikachu

additionally they released a bonus episode of idol human theater that's about 22 minutes! It's pretty much another episode and I must say it was just as hilarious as the official one!

Dom

taerae, hao, and matthews trio name given by the fans is babygirlz (and they’re aware of it also!) bc of how flamboyant and sassy they are. ricky is an honorable mention

cy

"casually flamboyant" is such a good descriptor for taerae... on one hand he's just Some Dude with his diamond tier in valorant, can't even cook ramen, dresses (relatively) badly - but he's also such an amazing singer, passive aggressive and very feminine. There's a reason why him, woongki and seowon were considered a trio during bp!! The next episode is Taerae show in LA, but there's also an episode of Taerae show in Japan before that that you should definitely check out together with it as well <3

squschimochi

Agree, I really like mostly hybe groups because of the music but also their group connections almost always give me very good vibes, zb1 have amazing connection already and I'm loving it

Mashihosblkgf

Hey PD. I joined Patreon and payed 24$ to watch some dramas along with you, however most of them don’t work. Could you please get squid game, all of us are dead, and Vincenzo working before this month ends if you can please. And thank you.

pikachu

This is definitely one of my fav content from them (alongside halmyungsoo which was one of the first to be out I believe)

Aya

at this point im fully convinced i birthed yujin cause how can he NOT be my biological child???? i watched him take his first steps and all

Sven Lenders

The feeling i get while watching them is more like seeing both a group of really close friends and a group of influencers/content creators rather then idols. I have that same feeling with Stray Kids and Ateez as well (they like both groups so i can see where they got their behaviour from)

Erin Jones

The Taerae show (Japan and LA) is by far my favorite ZB1 content they’ve put out so far. It’s like a comfort show and feels like home. Please react to it

pikachu

the second one is on the schedule so maybe PD can react to both at the same time

Dani

I think one of the things I like the most about them is how "authentic" they seem; Aside from ZB1 most of the groups I follow are older, so this may just reflect a general shift in the industry, but I feel like rather than always "presenting" themselves and being very media-trained, ZB1 seems unique in their unfiltered-ness. Like, Hanbin having to stop Gyuvin from hitting Ricky with a stool on Weekly Idol, Yujin's obvious dislike of being the cute one, Taerae being SO SASSY, and literally everything that comes out of Matthew's mouth all seem so genuine. Also, In addition to the ZB1 variety content I've seen requested above, Jiwoong and Gunwook were also on an episode of Knowing Bros along with Kep1er's Chaehyun and Xiaoting and Yerin (former GFRIEND).

Erin Jones

Yeah, since the first was only eight minutes long, I feel like both episodes could easily be combined.

Ash

Thanks to the reaction!! It's been a while since I saw ZB1 folders but I still enjoy a lot! PD you definitely need to check out knowing bros, Gunwook's rap was insane(he wrote the lyrics in 20 mins which is crazy), I'm sure that you'll enjoy it a lot!

feli

Oh yeah, Jiwoong and Gunwook were on two parts of Knowing Bros and that was a pretty fun time! Chaehyun and Xiaoting from Kep1er were also there :) Just saw it recommended here and I have to second it

izzy

Just now they dropped zb1 folder ep 4

Ayeyassha

Its interesting that you think now that Hanbin would be the best leader for the group, but watching Boys Planet you were positive Hao would be the best leader. I would have thought they would have the whole co-leader thing going on just like in kep1er

Form of Therapy

Hao seemed like the best on BP but this is the weird thing I see now: Something I’ve talked about is there are two leader types: a normal leader and a wartime leader. A normal leader is just classic democratic leadership traits. Hearing everyone out, putting things to votes, etc. A wartime leader is basically when shit is stacked against you and you have no choice but to sacrifice having sleep for like 2-3 months. A wartime leader is someone who can lead people through the worst of it without their own mentality breaking. I see that Hao is now actually a wartime leader. It’s probably a mix of his IQ, his background, maybe even his nationality, and personality that makes him uniquely fitting for the job. He kept his cool like 99% of the time on BP and always whipped his team into shape. He also doesn’t mince words too much. Hanbin seems like the perfect leader if the group is happy. Given what I saw on BP, I think Hanbin is very empathetic and also has his own peaks and valleys that follow the group. So on BP, with the context and looming threat of elimination on the show, I think Hao led them best. Hanbin is better during promotional era I think.

Form of Therapy

“Passive aggressive” you just triggered what his behavior reminds me of. He acts like what I assumed Karina from aespa to be like. Super sassy, super fierce. Very much “high school IT girl” vibes.

Form of Therapy

That’s the greatest compliment I’ve ever received but I have no idea what that means. Care to elaborate?

pikachu

We literally got two new episodes of ZB1 Folder out of the blue right after you reacted to it? Thank you for manifesting it PD

Eurone

I don't think someone said that before on here, but zerobaseone themselves actually like to remind us a lot that their contract is set to end at a specific time. They'd post something on twitter and then add at the end of the caption "let's cherish those 2years, 10months, 23 days, 8hours, 41 minutes and 5 seconds left together !". It's so bittersweet to stan and really be into a group when you know that they're not meant for the longevity aspect, but as they know it too, they want to make the best out of this period and i think that's where their authenticity comes from. I've been brainwashed into being reminded that they're a temporary group EVERYTIME I'd watch something from them or just listen to their music and then I'd get emotional, this is insane
