A fan's shout demanding a member to withdraw from the group has made it into a live broadcast.

On an online forum, discussions erupted over a video snippet capturing a charged moment during ZEROBASEONE's performance at the '31st Hanteo Music Awards.' As the group's first performance drew to a close, a distinct voice is heard through the cheers, shouting: "Withdraw from the group!"

The audience member echoed the demand twice and added: "Please withdraw!"

Netizens are speculating that this phenomenon is a fan of ZEROBASEONE demanding Kim Ji Woong to leave the group in light of the continued controversy of the idol having allegedly used profanity during a fan call.

Adding to the issue, fan-taken footage and accounts during the event reported that physical fights allegedly ensued between the supporters of Kim Ji Woong and those demanding his departure. In one of the said clips, members of ATEEZ were seen alerting the security personnel of the alarming situation.

In the comments section, Korean netizens extended sympathy to the remaining members of ZEROBASEONE, acknowledging that, in any case, the group was a temporary project with their contract set to expire in 2026.

Meanwhile, one comment parodied Wake One Entertainment's recent response to the incident, jesting: "Well, we don't know for sure if it's 'Withdraw from the group,' so why not conduct a forensic analysis, haha."

Below the jest, others joined in the 'parody,' urging the company to scrutinize the audio file as they did with the controversial clip.

Reactions include:

"Take this to the forensic analysis!!"
"LOL"
"Isn't it the staff? lol"

"I heard it's the voice of the staff! Take it to forensics!"
"Isn't the person saying 'Get off work quickly!'?" ("Get off work quickly" in Korean sounds similar to "Withdraw from the group")

"It's the sound of the wind"
"Another person has edited the sound clip into the video"
"Wow~ The fans are just worried about ZB1 and telling them to get off work quickly~"
"Isn't it the voice of another group's fan?"
"I think Dispatch needs to look into this"

In related news, other reports from the '31st Hanteo Music Awards' saw a number of incidents involving their crowds in the standing section.
