• ZEROBASEONE’s Zhang Hao Shares Funny Story of Being Streetcast Even After Debut

    ZEROBASEONE member Zhang Hao is not only known for his talent but also for his striking looks. After debuting as the center of the group by finishing first on Boys Planet, his visuals have been turning heads everywhere.

    Recently, Zhang Hao revealed an interesting story during a livestream. Even after debuting, someone tried to streetcast him!

    He shared, "Was it at the airport? Someone tapped me. When I was getting my luggage, a person came up to me and asked if I had an agency. I was so surprised, I just nodded. They said sorry and left."

    Zhang Hao laughed as he reflected on the moment, saying, "I think I made a mistake though. I should’ve been like, ‘Don’t you know Zhang Hao?’ If they work in trainee development, they should at least know Zhang Hao! But I was barefaced, wearing a mask and a hat, so maybe it’s possible they didn’t recognize me."

    It just goes to show that Zhang Hao's charm shines through no matter the situation!

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
