ZEROBASEONE member Zhang Hao has left fans in awe after it was revealed that he was the top scorer in China’s Gaokao (college entrance exam).

On February 25th, Zhang Hao and fellow ZEROBASEONE member Sung Han Bin appeared as guests on the web entertainment show Salon Drip 2.

During the show, Zhang Hao, who is fluent in Korean, humorously shared, “I’m good at studying,” before adding, “I think I’m better at Korean when I fight. I shoot Korean like a gun. My skills really improved while arguing with the members.”

Seong Hanbin couldn’t help but boast about his talented groupmate, proudly saying, “Hao hyung ranked first in the Gaokao in China,” emphasizing Zhang Hao’s "perfect" image.

Zhang Hao then revealed, “When I graduated high school, I ranked first in Fujian province. Several thousand people took the Gaokao.” This stunning achievement left the hosts completely impressed.

Despite the praise, Zhang Hao stayed humble, saying, “If I’m not good at something, I don’t do it at all. Being first in the Gaokao is an honor, but winning Boys Planet is even more special to me.”

Fans can’t help but admire not only Zhang Hao’s intelligence but also his humility and dedication to his craft!

What an incredible journey from top student to Boys Planet champion!

Former DIA member Somyi is taking legal action against the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) for spreading false rumors about her alleged relationship with PocketDol Studio’s CEO, Kim Kwang Soo.

On March 28, Somyi’s agency, Modenberry Korea, released an official statement, saying, “We will take legal action against ‘Gaseyeon’ for spreading false claims that Somyi and CEO Kim Kwang Soo were in a relationship.”

The agency strongly condemned the allegations, adding, “‘Gaseyeon’ broadcasted false claims that Somyi and Kim Kwang Soo were dating, intentionally spreading misinformation. This is a clear case of defamation, and we will take strong legal measures to protect our artist.”

They also made it clear that they won’t stand for any more baseless rumors, stating, “We will not tolerate reckless speculation about our artist. We are already gathering evidence through legal representatives and will respond with a zero-tolerance policy.”

The controversy started when Gaseyeon uploaded a video titled “DIA Members Fighting Over One Man”, claiming that Somyi, Kim Kwang Soo, and another DIA member, referred to as A, were involved in a love triangle.

The claims quickly gained attention, especially due to the 39-year age gap between Kim Kwang Soo (born in 1961) and Somyi (born in 2000).

Meanwhile, Modenberry Korea recently announced on March 27th that they had signed an exclusive contract with Somyi, marking a new chapter in her career.

Somyi debuted as a member of DIA in 2017 and was active for about two years before leaving the group.

After parting ways with PocketDol Studio, she transitioned into a BJ (broadcast jockey) and has continued her career in that field.
