ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) member Ricky has once again proven he’s the definition of a real-life webtoon character!

On January 30, Ricky appeared on YouTube channel RISABAE’s Risabae Makeup, where he took on the challenge of transforming into a mysterious and seductive webtoon male lead.

Excited about the experience, Ricky shared, “I’ve always been interested in makeup. I really wanted to try this at least once.”

With his effortlessly chic and charismatic aura, Risabae created a ‘dark yet sexy’ look inspired by mystery webtoons. Before they even started, Ricky caught a glimpse of his neatly groomed eyebrows and joked, “I think I could win over my mother-in-law with this.”

As the makeup session progressed, Ricky’s already striking visuals became even more intense with detailed shading and contouring. Risabae was completely mesmerized, saying, “You actually look even more like a webtoon character in real life.”

Meanwhile, Ricky casually sipped on a strawberry drink throughout the session, giving fans a fun contrast between his fierce look and his soft, playful side.

The conversation also turned to ZEROBASEONE’s latest pre-release track Doctor! Doctor!, which dropped on January 20 as part of their upcoming 5th mini album. Ricky couldn’t hide his excitement, saying, “The song is amazing. It’s an R&B ballad, and the cover art was made by the legendary Junji Ito. I’ve always admired his mysterious yet fatalistic drawing style, so it was an honor to have him contribute to our cover.”

Before wrapping up, Ricky shared his love for fans, saying, “I’m really glad I joined this show because I got to try a makeup concept that I normally wouldn’t, and I think ZEROSE (fandom name) will love it.”

Meanwhile, Ricky and ZEROBASEONE are gearing up for their highly anticipated comeback with their 5th mini album on February 24! Even before its full release, Doctor! Doctor! is already topping domestic charts and dominating China’s largest streaming platform, QQ Music, as well as YouTube’s trending music rankings—raising expectations for an explosive return!

Kim Soo Hyun’s recent controversy is now affecting his appearance on MBC’s Good Day, with some viewers demanding that he leave the show.

On March 12, a post titled "ㄱㅅㅎ should step down" appeared on the viewer feedback section of Good Day, sparking discussion online.

The post’s author wrote, "G-Dragon’s show is supposed to be for fun, so what’s this controversy with ㄱㅅㅎ? He should voluntarily step down," directly calling for Kim Soo Hyun’s removal from the program.

Good Day is a music project variety show led by G-Dragon, where he collaborates with well-known figures from different fields to create a song representing the year. Kim Soo Hyun, who shares the same birth year as G-Dragon, was added to the show as part of the ’88 line, winning fans over with his friendly and lighthearted image.

However, things took a turn when Kim Soo Hyun became embroiled in controversy regarding allegations of a past romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron when she was still a minor. While his agency strongly denied the claims, calling them "false information," additional photos showing affectionate moments between the two—such as a cheek kiss—along with text messages sent by Kim Sae Ron, have only fueled the public’s doubts.

Although the viewer feedback post did not mention his full name, Kim Soo Hyun is the only cast member whose initials match "ㄱㅅㅎ," making it clear that the post was referring to him.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun is also set to star in Disney+’s upcoming drama Knock-Off, with the first season scheduled to be released soon. However, with his controversy continuing to spread, even Knock-Off is facing growing concerns.
